Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tiene Sabor by Johnny Ventura from Spanish to English.
Una carta tuya
A letter from you
Hoy yo recibí
Today I received
Y con punto y coma
And with a semicolon
Niña respondí
Girl, I replied
Cariñito amado
Beloved sweetheart
Que quieres de mí
What do you want from me
Si yo vivo en moca
If I live in Moca
Y tu allá en París, en París
And you're there in Paris, in Paris
Dime a ve'
Tell me, come on
Y esto es merengue Juan Luis
And this is merengue, Juan Luis
Paga mis recuerdos
Pay for my memories
Hoy yo te soñé
Today I dreamt of you
Caminamos juntos
We walked together
Bajo un sol francés
Under a French sun
Perdona la intriga
Forgive my curiosity
Dime mon amour
Tell me, my love
Si en los pirineos
If in the Pyrenees
Tu cielo es azul si es azul
Your sky is blue, if it's blue
Y en Moca es azulito
And in Moca it's a little blue
Vaya la sorpresa
What a surprise
La vida es así
Life is like that
Lo que aquí es Luis Días
What's Luis Días here
Allá es de DC
Is DC over there
Guardo el arcoíris
I keep the rainbow
Que nació en abril
That was born in April
Pero vivo en Moca y tu allá en París en París
But I live in Moca and you're there in Paris, in Paris
De Moca a París
From Moca to Paris
Van cayendo amapolas
Poppies are falling
Van cayendo amapolas
Poppies are falling
Que me arruñan y enamoran
They scratch and enamor me
Que me arruñan y enamoran
They scratch and enamor me
Van cayendo en Villa Trina
They're falling in Villa Trina
Van cayendo en Villa Trina
They're falling in Villa Trina
Las begonias de mi güira
The begonias from my güira
Las begonias de mi güira
The begonias from my güira
Esto si va rico
This is really good
En mi calendario canta un colibrí
In my calendar, a hummingbird sings
Mueve sus alitas
It flaps its wings
Hoy te vio venir
Today it saw you coming
Vestida de momia y ramo de aleguen
Dressed as a mummy with a bouquet of aleguen
Besos a su boca
Kisses to its mouth
De moca a París, a París
From Moca to Paris, to Paris
De Moca a París
From Moca to Paris
