A La Luz de Los Cocuyos
Miguel Aceves Mejía
In the Light of the Fireflies
Oh, love of my loves, I come to sing my song to you;
I am full of illusions and I want to kiss your lips.
I want to tell you little things that I carry inside my soul;
but as they are beautiful, I want to say them calmly.
I don't know if you will come, I don't know if I will go;
but you will feel my kisses and I will feel yours
and we will remain prisoners in the light of the fireflies.
I want to see you beautiful without sorrows and without pride
and I want to lay in your arms in the light of the fireflies.
How many nights of your life have you spent with me,
counting the little stars with only God as a witness;
always with our faces to the sky, sheltered by the moon;
counting the little stars, kiss by kiss, one by one.
I don't know if you will come, I don't know if I will go...
I want to see you beautiful without sorrows and without pride...
