Bachata rosa [English translation]

I offer you a rose

that I found on the way

I do not know if it is denuded

or if it wears an unique dress

No, I do not know...

If summer waters it

or if oblivion inebriates it

if it was ever loved once before

or if it has a love in secret

Ay yayay, my love

You are the rose that warms me

You are the dream of my loneliness

a lethargy in blue

an eclipse in the sea, but ...

Ay yayay, my love

I am a satellite and you are my sun

an universe of mineral water

a space of light...

that only you can fill,

ay amor!

I gift you my hands,...

my droopy eyelids,...

the deepest kiss,...

which drowns in a moan,

I gift you an autumn

a day between April and June

a ray of illusions

a heart in nude
