Porque te quiero a ti
Because I love you
Porque te quiero,
Because I love you,
Cerré mi puerta una mañana
I closed my door one morning
Y eché a andar.
And I started walking.
Porque te quiero a ti
Because I love you
Porque te quiero,
Because I love you,
Dejé los montes
I left the mountains
Y me vine al mar.
And I came to the sea.
Tu nombre me sabe a hierba
Your name tastes like grass to me
De la que nace en el valle
From which it is born in the valley
A golpes de sol y de agua,
To blows of sun and water,
Tu nombre me lleva atado
Your name has bound me
En un pliege de tu talle
In a fold of your size
Y en el viés de tu enagua.
And in the viés of your petticoat.
Porque te quiero a ti
Because I love you
Porque te quiero,
Because I love you,
Aunque estas lejos
Although you are far away
Yo te siento a flor de piel.
I feel you on the surface.
Porque te quiero a ti
Because I love you
Porque te quiero,
Because I love you,
Se hace mas corto
Gets shorter
El camino aquel.
The way that.
Tu nombre me sabe a yerba
Your name tastes like yerba to me
De la que nace en el valle
From which it is born in the valley
A golpes de sol y de agua,
To blows of sun and water,
Tu nombre me lleva atado
Your name has bound me
En un pliege de tu talle
In a fold of your size
Y en el biés de tu enagua.
And in the biés of your petticoat.
Porque te quiero a ti
Because I love you
Porque te quiero,
Because I love you,
Mi voz se rompe como el cielo
My voice breaks like heaven
Al clarear.
When clearing.
Porque te quiero a ti
Because I love you
Porque te quiero,
Because I love you,
Dejo esos montes
I leave those mountains
Y me vengo al mar.
And I come to the sea
