- ¿Qué es poesía?” (“What Is Poetry?) by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
¿Qué es poesía?, dices, mientras clavas
en mi pupila tu pupila azul,
¡Qué es poesía! ¿Y tú me lo preguntas?
Poesía... eres tú.
What is poetry, you say, while
your blue eyes sink deep into mine.
What is poetry? You ask me this?
Poetry... is you.
- “Rima XXIII” (“Rhyme XXIII”) by Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer
Por una mirada, un mundo;
por una sonrisa, un cielo;
por un beso… yo no sé.
¿Qué te diera por un beso?
For a look, a world;
for a smile, a heaven;
for a kiss… I don’t know
what I would give you for a kiss
Bésame sin razón / Porque quiere el corazón.
Kiss me without a reason / Just because the heart wishes for it.
- “No Dejo de Pensarte” (“I Never Stop Thinking About You”) by Unknown
Tu cabello, tus ojos, tu mirada:
No dejo de pensarte,
Entera eres mi pensamiento,
Desde tu ternura hasta dulzura.
Entera eres mi sueño:
No dejo de extrañarte,
Y no puedo dejar de amarte.
Your hair, your eyes, your gaze:
I can’t stop thinking about you,
Whole, you are my thought
From your tenderness to sweetness.
Whole, you are my dream:
I keep on missing you
And I can’t stop loving you.
- Bésame by Camila
Bésame, como si el mundo se acabara después
Bésame, y beso a beso pon el cielo al revés
Bésame sin razón
Porque quiere el corazón
Bésame
Kiss me, as if the world were ending after that
Kiss me and kiss by kiss turn the sky upside down
Kiss me without a reason
Just because the heart wishes for it
Kiss me
- Amor de Siempre” (“Forever Love”) by CucoSiempre en mis sueños vi una luz tan tan bonita
cantando pensamientos libres siempre fue mi favorita
ay como me enamoré tan pesadamente
tenía mil hilos rompiendo espina
pero no importa si estas presente
unos cambios tomaron lugar en mi vida
amorcito sonriente entraste sin advertirme
pero no me importa ya
tenemos nuevas historias que contar
amanecimos bien contentos
ahora vamos a dormirnos sin dudar
I always saw a light so so beautiful in my dreams
Singing thoughts freely was always my favorite
How did I fall in love so deeply
I had a thousand threads breaking my spine
But it doesn't matter if you are present
A few changes took place in my life
Sweetheart, you smiled and entered without warning me
But I don't care anymore
We have new stories to tell
We were very happy
Now let's go to sleep without doubts
