Desdeñosa [English translation]

Those glances of yours, full of strange brilliance,

that rose coloured smile of yours,

they’ve been always fascinating me, even though they hurt me,

‘cause you’re very sweet, but also disdainful.

Those glances of yours, full of strange brilliance,

that rose coloured smile of yours,

they’ve been always fascinating me, even though they hurt me,

‘cause you’re very sweet, but also disdainful.

Give me the charm of your beautiful eyes,

the sensual bewitchment that one can predict in you,

so that in my life, so full of thistles,

you’ll be a star that illuminates my soul.
