La gota de rocío [English translation]

The dewdrop

fell from the sky

And with it my love

cleansed her face.

But it was so early

that the sun had not yet risen

And so my love's hands

and cheeks grew cold.

I thought that the stars

would seek her out

and frolic upon

her beautiful face.

She said "I'm cold

won't you warm me?"

And I approached with such verve

that I set her heart ablaze.

And as I kissed her

she said amid a tremble

"this is what was missing

for the sun to rise again".

Oh dewdrop

Don't stop falling

So that my love

will always want me near.

Will always want me near,

- Oh! dewdrop

Will always want me near,

- don't stop falling -

Will always want me near,

- so that my love -

Will always want me near.
