Carta De Amor Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Carta De Amor by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Querida mujer, dos puntos
Dear woman, colon
No me hagas sufrir, coma
Don't make me suffer, comma
Hoy me decido a escribirte cartas de amor sincero
Today I decide to write you letters of sincere love
Tú lo ves
You see
Tu cariñito es un agujero
Your affection is a hole
Que me atraviesa el querer
That pierces my desire
Y sin tus besos en mi chaleco nada me cubre la piel
And without your kisses on my vest, nothing covers my skin
Punto y seguido
Full stop
Como ves, solo pienso en ti yo
As you can see, I only think of you
No me interesa la Perestroika ni el baloncesto ni Larry Bird
I'm not interested in Perestroika, basketball, or Larry Bird
Y un sufrimiento a plazo fijo llevo en el pecho, mujer
And I carry a fixed-term suffering in my chest, woman
Quiéreme otra vez, llénate de mí
Love me Again, fill yourself with me
Vida tengo yo, solo junto a ti, mamacita
I have life, only with you, my darling
Querida mujer, dos puntos
Dear woman, colon
No me hagas sufrir, coma
Don't make me suffer, comma
Es la segunda carta que escribo
This is the second letter I've written
Y no recibo nada de ti
And I receive nothing from you
Ya no me importa si hay lu' en el barrio
I no longer care if there's a fire in the neighborhood
O aumentará la inflación
Or if inflation will increase
Tan solo vivo por refugiarme
I only live to take refuge
Desnudo en tu corazón, punto y aparte
Naked in your heart, full stop
Júrame, eso quiero yo, tú ves
Swear to me, that's what I want, you see
Toma esa póliza de seguros si de amor muero
Take that insurance policy if I die of love
Y al menos háblame por teléfono algún consuelo de amor
And at least call me, some comfort of love
Quiéreme otra vez, llénate de mí
Love me Again, fill yourself with me
Vida tengo yo, solo junto a ti, mamacita
I have life, only with you, my darling
Mi cielo, mi casa, mi amor de agujero, todo te lo di
My heaven, my home, my love of a hole, I gave you everything
Mamita querida
my dear darling
Recuerda el pasado
remember the past
Te escribo mil cartas
I write you a thousand letters
Las busca el cartero y nada me has dado
The postman looks for them and you haven't given me anything
Que no, que no, tus sueños despertaron, mira
no, no, your dreams have awakened, look
Todas mi pasión
all my passion
Envuelto en una llama todo de cariño
wrapped in a flame, all affection
Y un poquitico de amor es lo que te pido
And a little bit of love is what I ask of you
Que no, que no
no, no
Que no, que no, que no no no, sin ti me rindo
no, no, no, no, no, without you I surrender
Y en el bolsillo de mi chaleco, mira
and in my vest pocket, look
Nada me queda, todo te lo di, yeah
I have nothing left, I gave you everything, yeah
Mamita querida
my dear darling
Mi sueño dorado
my golden dream
Recuerda cobrar al seguro
remember to collect the insurance
Que muero, que nada me has dado
That I'm dying, that you haven't given me anything
Ni la Perestroika
not even Perestroika
Ni un juego de pelota
not even a ball game
Tan solo yo vivo
I just live
Midiendo el camino pa' besar tu boca
Measuring the path to kiss your mouth
Te escribo y te escribo
I write and write to you
Y nada recibo
and I receive nothing
Se acaba la tinta
the ink runs out
De mi lapicero y yo más te quiero
From my pen and I love you more
Amor sin cadenas
love without chains
Sueltan a Mandela
they release Mandela
Que en el bolsillo de mi chaleco, mira
that's in my vest pocket, look
Nada me queda, todo te lo di, yeah
I have nothing left, I gave you everything, yeah
Oye
Hey
