Un Collar de Versos

I feel like stealing a smile from you and telling you that I love you
But you hide in your lovely lips the reason for my sleepless nights
One afternoon I caught a butterfly and sent it through your window
To inform you that I wanted to see you, please look out
But the butterfly flew away and you didn't respond to my message.

The elders say that nowadays women
Don't care about the details, don't care about the details.
I feel like stealing your soul and getting lost until you love me
I have friends all over the savannah who hide me in any path.

Because you hide and forget me, reject me
Pamper me then marginalize me,
Demand senseless things from me
And I'm always left with the same thirst for your smile.
I feel like stealing a smile from you
I feel like telling you that I love you

I know you have a new boyfriend but I don't care
He doesn't know he enjoys your kisses and with me you're flirtatious
And he insists on going out with you always holding hands
It bothers you but you keep teasing me because I'm in love.

Tell him he's acting like a clown and to leave you alone
That these loves were born in carnivals
One afternoon in Barranquilla in the middle of a battle of flowers.

Oh, you're going to make me one of these days
Snatch you away from that new boyfriend
So you can compare in detail
The sweetness of my kisses.

What I offer you is pure love
My songs, a joyful life
A necklace of verses that always flatter you
Like the princess of this throneless king.
I feel like stealing a smile from you
I feel like telling you that I love you
