[English]

You are my treasure, the one who keeps me enchanted

Why deny that I’m deeply in love with you

With your sweet soul

That’s all about emotion

With those big black eyes of a rare glow

That captivate me and stir my love

You are a charm

You are a flower

God

Says that glory is in heaven

And that it’s

The comfort of mortals when they die

Blessed be God, because having you in my life

I don’t need to go to heaven if you are

My soul

You are my glory

...

God

Says that glory is in heaven

And that it’s

The comfort of mortals when they die

Blessed be God, because having you in my life

I don’t need to go to heaven if you are

My soul

You are my glory

...

[Spanish]

Eres mi bien lo que me tiene extaciado

Porque negar que estoy de ti enemorado

De tu dulce alma

Que es toda sentimiento

De esos ojazos negros de un raro fulgor

Que me dominan e incitan al amor

Eres un encanto

Eres una flor

Dios

Dice que la gloria está en el cielo

Y que es

De los mortales el consuelo al morir

Bendito Dios porque al tenerte yo en vida

No necesito ir al cielo si tú

Alma mía

La gloria eres tú

Dios

Dice que la gloria está en el cielo

Y que es

De los mortales el consuelo al morir

Bendito Dios porque al tenerte yo en vida

No necesito ir al cielo si tú

Alma mía

La gloria eres tú
