Guitarras de medianoche [English translation]

Midnight guitars

that vibrate beneath the moon,

as soon as it's midnight

wherever you hear me;

follow my voice.

And play the same tune as always:

very gently and with feeling

and fill my thoughts

gradually with inspiration.

Because on this night in June

with all of my heart1 I want to sing

beneath that window

that in other times

have seen me cry.

Midnight guitars

that have always accompanied me,

the Northern star

shines brighter

that the very sun.

On this night I want to

understand my feelings,

and as soon as it's midnight

play notes

filled with so much love.

Because on this night in June

with all of my heart I want to sing

beneath that window

that in other times

have seen me cry.
