Amor Del Bueno Lyrics in English by Felipe Peláez, Manuel Julian, Beto Zabaleta
"Amor del Bueno" is a vallenato love song where Felipe Peláez basically shows up at someone's door, admits he is not perfect, and asks for one thing: just say yes and leave the rest to him.
He starts out surprised by his own feelings. "Y eso, no estaba en mis planes" (and that wasn't in my plans), he sings, but "de verdad me encanta" (I really love it). He is honest about his past too: "Sé que no soy el mejor de los hombres" (I know I'm not the best of men), yet he promises to give "lo que tengo y no tengo" (what I have and what I don't have). That last phrase is a lovely bit of Spanish exaggeration: he would give even things he doesn't own.
The chorus is the hook you will be singing along to: "Ven, tan solo dilo, yo me encargaré del resto" (come, just say it, I'll take care of the rest) and "Dame tu ternura, que me sobra amor del bueno" (give me your tenderness, I've got plenty of the good kind of love). "Me sobra" is a great expression to learn: literally "it's left over for me", it means you have more than enough of something. And "amor del bueno" is everyday Spanish for real, genuine love, the good stuff.
The second verse gets sweeter, promising to heal her wounds and that she will live "radiante de sol a sol" (radiant from sunrise to sunset). It ends on a soft plea: "Confía, confía, mi amor" (trust, trust, my love).
