If you give me a choice between you and wealth
With that greatness he carries with him
Oh, love, I’ll stay with you
If I had to choose
between you and glory
so history can speak of me
through the centuries,
Oh, love, I’ll stay with you
I've fallen in love
and I love you, I love you
I only wish
to be next to you
To dream about your eyes
to kiss your lips
to be in your arms
is where I'm happy
If I had to choose
between you and the sky
where flight is free
to land on other nests,
Oh, love, I’ll stay with you
If I had to choose
between you and my ideas
and without them
I'm a man who's lost, my love
I choose you
I've fallen in love
and I love you, I love you
I only wish
to be next to you
To dream about your eyes
to kiss your lips
to be in your arms
is where I'm happy
Though my body has run around
traveling the world for leagues and leagues,
traveling the world for leagues and leagues;
I left my soul in this place; and, therefore,
I have returned to look for it
Though my body has run around,
traveling the world for leagues and leagues
Take this golden dagger in your hands,
and from all of the four directions,
stab me, jab after jab.
Yet do not tell me that you forget me,
for in the bearing with which you carry yourself,
when you go out to walk,
you are going to pay me back.
Even for the tail of the lantern
you are going to pay me back
Though my body has run around
traveling the world for leagues and leagues,
traveling the world for leagues and leagues;
I left my soul in this place; and, therefore,
I have returned to look for it
Though my body has run around,
traveling the world for leagues and leagues
Take this golden dagger in your hands,
and from all of the four directions,
stab me, jab after jab
Yet do not tell me that you forget me,
for in the bearing with which you carry yourself,
when you go out to walk,
you are going to pay me back
Even for the tail of the lantern, oh, you shall pay me back.
If the Sun offends you when it rises
if knew that this were true, my friend,
that the Sun offends you when it rises,
I would fight the sun.
Even if led me to my death,
I would fight the sun,
even if it led me to my death
Mother! The queen of my heart
has two black fans instead of eyelashes.
That’s what she has as eyelashes, girl, as eyelashes
No other girl in all of Spain has such eyelashes
Oh! I am painting your portrait, painting you,
by the faint light of the brazier
and at the same time I am burning away slowly,
consumed by my love for you
May Saint Raphael help me, oh!
The water I need is so near, yet I cannot drink of it
