Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lámpara Pa' Mis Pies by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Cuando salí para Boston
When I left for Boston
Y en Boston te encontré
And in Boston, I found you
De tus ojitos verdes
From your pretty green eyes
Niña linda, me enamoré
Little girl, I fell in love
Y te entregué mis sueños
And I gave you my dreams
Mi greca y mi café
My Greek and my coffee
Y mi guitarra Gibson
And my guitar Gibson
Y una lámpara para mis pies
And a lamp for my feet
Lámpara para mis pies
Lamp for my feet
La luz de tu mirada es
The light of your gaze is
El meneguito de mi fe
The drummer of my faith
Ay, mira que
Oh, look at that
Lámpara para mis pies
Lamp for my feet
Y me mudé en tu cuello
And I moved into your neck
Y con mi Polaroid
And with my Polaroid
Yo retrataba el baile
I captured the dance
De tus besitos de algodón
Of your cotton kisses
Y revelé tu risa
And I developed your laughter
Sobre un papel maché
On a paper mache
Y ahora yo no salgo de casa
And now I don't leave the house
Sin mi lámpara para mis pies
Without my lamp for my feet
Lámpara para mis pies
Lamp for my feet
La luz de tu mirada es
The light of your gaze is
La tamborita de mi fe
The tambourine of my faith
Lámpara para mis pies, ¡epa!
Lamp for my feet, hey!
Te coroné mi reina
I crowned you my queen
Con tiara de ilusión
With a tiara of illusion
Y te compraba flores
And I bought you flowers
Y menticas para el corazón
And mints for the heart
Te presenté canciones
I presented you with songs
Y preparamos té
And we prepared tea
Pero yo no salgo de casa
But I don't leave the house
Sin mi lámpara para mis pies
Without my lamp for my feet
Lámpara para mis pies
Lamp for my feet
La luz de tu mirada es
The light of your gaze is
El meneguito de mi fe
The drummer of my faith
Lámpara para mis pies, ¡epa!
Lamp for my feet, hey!
Y nos mojó la lluvia
And the rain soaked us
Y nos secaba el sol
And the sun dried us
Esas son las cositas
Those are the little things
Que pasaban de tanto amor
That happened from so much love
Y me rendí a tus labios
And I surrendered to your lips
Todo te lo entregué
I gave you everything
Y ahora yo no salgo de casa
And now I don't leave the house
Sin mi lámpara para mis pies
Without my lamp for my feet
Lámpara para mis pies
Lamp for my feet
Y tu palabra es como miel
And your word is like honey
La tamborita de mi fe
The tambourine of my faith
Lámpara para mis pies
Lamp for my feet
Lámpara para mis pies
Lamp for my feet
La luz de tu mirada es
The light of your gaze is
El meneguito de mi fe
The drummer of my faith
Lámpara para mis pies, ¡epa!
Lamp for my feet, hey!
