Cosas Imposibles – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English

• By: José José

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

To take your hands

To kiss your lips

To be your happiness

To feel you are mine

Those are the impossible things that never were

Made for me

...

To touch your hair and be your longing

And at night, to be what keeps you awake

Those are the impossible things that never were

Made for me

They left my kisses

As rosebuds

That withered before they could bloom

My embraces are heading towards the sunsets

Without being able to give them to you

...

In a moment

Of a May month

To enjoy the bliss of your surrender

Those are the impossible things that never were

Made for me

...

Those are the impossible things that never were

Made for me

...

[Spanish]

Tomar tus manos

Besar tu boca

Ser tu alegría

Sentirte mía

Son esas cosas imposibles que no fueron

Hechas para mí

Tocar tu pelo y ser tu anhelo

Y por las noches ser tu desvelo

Son esas cosas imposibles que no fueron

Hechas para mí

Dejaron mis besos

Rosas en botones

Que se marchitaron antes de brotar

Mis abrazos van camino a los ocasos

Sin podértelos dar

En un momento

De un mes de mayo

Gozar la dicha de tu desmayo

Son esas cosas imposibles que no fueron

Hechas para mí

Son esas cosas imposibles que no fueron

Hechas para mí
