Serenata Timida

Daniel Rabinovich: Oh, how beautiful.
Carlos Núñez Cortés: Hehehe... Her name is Cristina García.
Daniel Rabinovich: How beautiful she is...
Carlos Núñez Cortés: I am hopelessly in love.
Daniel Rabinovich: Well, Carlitos, at your age.
Carlos Núñez Cortés: I would like to sing her a serenade...
Daniel Rabinovich: Alright.

(Daniel pretends to approach Cristina's window to sing to her, but Carlos Núñez stops him)

Carlos Núñez Cortés: No, no, no, I would like to, but... but I don't dare.
Daniel Rabinovich: Why?
Carlos Núñez Cortés: Because I am very shy.
Daniel Rabinovich: Carlitos, you have to do something to overcome your silly shyness.
Carlos Núñez Cortés: Heh! I have already done it.
Daniel Rabinovich: What have you done?
Carlos Núñez Cortés: I enrolled in a course: 'How to overcome shyness?'
Daniel Rabinovich: And how is it going?
Carlos Núñez Cortés: Badly.
Daniel Rabinovich: Why?
Carlos Núñez Cortés: I didn't dare to go.
Daniel Rabinovich: Carlitos, we will help you.
Carlos Núñez Cortés: But what can I do?
Daniel Rabinovich: Read her a poem and then sing her the serenade.

(Carlos Núñez takes a paper from his pocket)

Carlos Núñez Cortés: Ah, I coincidentally wrote this poem!
Daniel Rabinovich: Can you read?
Carlos Núñez Cortés: Yes.
Daniel Rabinovich: Go ahead.

Carlos Núñez Cortés: Cristina!
When writing these verses
I put my shyness aside,
I put my heart, I put my soul
and I blushed.
Excuse my shyness,
there is no way to overcome it.
It's just that being so shy
makes me a little embarrassed

(The music starts and he begins to sing the serenade)

Carlos Núñez Cortés:
I hope my courage allows me
to overcome this fear and sing to her.
Perhaps in my song I can explain
to her the purpose of this visit.

I am dying of fear and nerves,
I demand her kindness, her patience.
To anyone who wants to listen, I proclaim
that to Cristina García I loooove... oh hehe...
I loooove...
I don't dare, I don't dare...
I have thought for loooong years about telling her that... that... that...

(Seeing that Carlos doesn't dare, the rest steps forward and tries to help him)

Chorus: I love her.

(Carlos, shy, reproaches them for their boldness and tries to apologize by gesturing)

Carlos Núñez Cortés: Shhhhh! Hehe!

Carlos Núñez Cortés:
There are no peaceful hours for me anymore,
her beloved image disturbs me.
Since the day I met her
I feel a... I feel a...
a feeling, a second feeling, a third feeling...

Chorus: I feel an unbridled passion.

(Carlos, annoyed, tries to silence them again)

Carlos Núñez Cortés: A certain attraction! Don't help me anymore, don't help me anymore!

Carlos Núñez Cortés:
It's hard for me to calm down and speak
and I would say, if she wouldn't be offended,
that then, maybe, I would like
to form a home together... very close...
between us.

Chorus: I will abduct you tonight, thirsty for passion
Carlos Núñez Cortés: We would get married first...
Chorus: With wild ecstasy I will bite your lips
Carlos Núñez Cortés: A little kiss on the cheek, innocent.
Chorus: My trembling hands will roam your body
Carlos Núñez Cortés: The hair, the hair, like this, the hair...!
Chorus: I will tear off your clothes
Carlos Núñez Cortés: No!
Chorus: Burning with desire
Carlos Núñez Cortés: What desire?
Chorus: Burned by the feverish fire of your gaze
I will throw myself into your bed, boiling with anxiety
And finally we will...
Carlos Núñez Cortés: What will we do? What will we do?
Chorus: And finally we will...
Carlos Núñez Cortés: Make plans and talk about our love
Chorus: Talk about our plans and make love
