Muchachita de Mi Vida

Little girl of my life, darling of my torments
I need you to listen to me for at least a moment
And in the meantime forgive my crazy boldness
But listen to me, mommy, please, I thank you for it

I have to express to you everything I feel for you
It's a deluge of love that completely overwhelms me
I was going crazy looking for you, thank God I found you
If I hadn't found you, tomorrow I would wake up dead

The first time, darling, I saw you and stopped in my tracks
I gazed at you for a long time without coming out of my enchantment
I felt a love thorn drilling me inside
That kept rummaging through the drawers of my chest

I swear that since then I let go of my cruel burden
That made me live dragging with a broken heart
I drank away the sorrows and torments
The earth chopped the hangover with the edge of spite

So I wandered around half dazed
Leaving shreds of life scattered in the desert
But now in a scribble I hung up my regrets
So that the moths of silence can gnaw on them

Imagine, little girl, how much I waited for all this
That not even asleep did I take you out of my thoughts
I don't think you didn't feel the caress and the secret
Of the sigh I sent you every day with the wind

I think the sugar cane met the cheese
And we're on a path that has no return
If you want, give me a minute, darling, and it's a long time
To place the stars of the universe at your feet

How many nights have I spent mending the feeling
And stopping these loves that wanted to burst out violently
That's how the morning caught me drowsy
Singing with songs at the doors of your room

Calm down, calm down, heart, mischievous little heart
How do you want me to tell you, boy, to stay still
In sight, give him a love that I, in gratitude
Give you a thousand bundles of tenderness and respect

Singing, I offer you love, singing, I ask for kisses
And singing, I beg for your full consent
In the fire of your arms, cook me slowly
So that my soul simmers with the warmth of your body

For you, I'll leave the parties, for you, I'll do what I haven't done
And in the henhouses of your soul, I'll keep my foundations
You know I'm a country boy of work and fulfillment
