Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amapola by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Abre las hojas del viento, mi vida
Open the leaves of the wind, my life
Ponle una montura al rio
Put a saddle on the river
Cabalga y si te da frio te arropas
Ride and if you feel cold, you wrap yourself
Con la piel de las estrellas
With the skin of the stars
De almohada la luna llena, mi vida
With the full moon as a pillow, my life
Y de sueño el amor mío
And with my love as a dream
Y una amapola me lo dijo ayer
And a poppy told me yesterday
Que te voy a ver, que te voy a ver
That I'm going to see you, that I'm going to see you
Y un arcoíris me pinto la piel
And a rainbow painted my skin
Para amanecer contigo
To wake up with you
Y una amapola me lo dijo ayer
And a poppy told me yesterday
Que te voy a ver, que te voy a ver
That I'm going to see you, that I'm going to see you
Y un arcoíris me pinto la piel
And a rainbow painted my skin
Para amanecer contigo
To wake up with you
Cierra la noche y el día, mi vida
Close the night and the day, my life
Para que todo sea nuestro
So that everything is ours
Y una gran fuga de besos
And a great escape of kisses
Se pose sobre tu boca
Lands on your lips
Y que el trinar de las rosas, mi vida
And let the singing of the roses, my life
Te digan cuánto te quiero
Tell you how much I love you
Y una amapola me lo dijo ayer
And a poppy told me yesterday
Que te voy a ver, que te voy a ver
That I'm going to see you, that I'm going to see you
Y un arcoíris me pinto la piel
And a rainbow painted my skin
Para amanecer contigo
To wake up with you
Y una amapola me lo dijo ayer
And a poppy told me yesterday
Que te voy a ver, que te voy a ver
That I'm going to see you, that I'm going to see you
Y un arcoíris me pinto la piel
And a rainbow painted my skin
Para amanecer contigo
To wake up with you
Re-re, re-re-re
Re-re, re-re-re
Re-re, re-re-re
Re-re, re-re-re
Re-re, re-re-re, re-eh-eh
Re-re, re-re-re, re-eh-eh
Re-re, re-re-re
Re-re, re-re-re
