Beautiful eyes on your face and a tempting gaze

My queen

If you look at me

My heart leaps out of my chest

Charming little girl

What joy it is to have you all to myself

Little girl who knew of my sorrows

And turned my pain into good things

Charming little girl

My life and my love

You are

Little girl who knew of my sorrows

And turned my pain into good things

Charming little girl

My life and my love

You are

...

Eres tú

Muchachita que supiste de mis penas

Y cambiaste mi dolor en cosas buenas

Muchachita primorosa

Mi existir y mi amor

Eres tú
