Josefina
El Chaqueño Palavecino
Josefina
You know, little princess, that upon seeing your image
I swore to love you forever with all my heart
and I live as a prisoner from that moment
of your precious mouth that captivated my love.
Your black eyes are like morning beacons
that light my path and you should also know
morning stars with diamond rays
that illuminate their brilliance to a beautiful dawn.
Beautiful beloved virgin
how I would like to kiss
that honey mouth of yours
that is like a rich fountain.
And that black mole of yours
that you have on your cheek
and is a wonder
enchants me to contemplate.
Your rosy face like rose petals
gives a lively charm to your magical mole
and your kind smile, my exquisite nymph
is a balm that heals these sorrows endlessly.
God willing, tomorrow our hearts united
will guide our destiny with all happiness.
and then Josefina, I will proudly sing to you
my most beautiful verses for all eternity.
Beautiful beloved woman
how I would like to kiss
that honey mouth of yours
that is like a rich fountain.
And that black mole of yours
that you have on your cheek
and is a wonder
enchants me to contemplate.
