Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Te Contaran by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Te contarán, los hinojos de la madrugada
They will tell you, the dew of the dawn
Te contarán, las pupilas de los manantiales
They will tell you, the pupils of the springs
El cielo azul, la mañana que ordeña los sueños
The blue sky, the morning that milks dreams
El cundiamor y el reloj de cuerda de los tiempos
The morning glory and the winding clock of time
Te contarán, la luna y las estrellas
They will tell you, the moon and the stars
Te contarán, los cielos del camino
They will tell you, the heavens of the road
Te contarán, que no hay sobre la Tierra
They will tell you, that there is no heart on Earth
un corazón que te ame igual que yo
that loves you like I do
Te contará, el suspiro de la mariposa
The butterfly's sigh will tell you
Te contará, un concierto lírico de rosas
A lyrical concert of roses will tell you
El viejo mar, el colágeno de los recuerdos
The old sea, the collagen of memories
y el callejón del aroma tibio de los besos
and the alley of the warm aroma of kisses
Te contarán, oye, el Sol y las palmeras
They will tell you, listen, the Sun and the palm trees
Te contarán, los reyes y los lirios
They will tell you, the kings and the lilies
Te contarán, que no hay en este siglo
They will tell you, that in this century
un corazón que te ame igual
there is no heart that loves you the same
Voy a coronarte con cantos de arena
I will crown you with songs of sand
y escribiré un poema de contemplación
and I will write a poem of contemplation
voy a resolver la tesis de tu oreja
I will solve the thesis of your ear
Proclamaré un teorema de éste gran amor, oye
I will proclaim a theorem of this great love, listen
Te contarán, la luna y las estrellas
They will tell you, the moon and the stars
Te contarán, los cielos del camino
They will tell you, the heavens of the road
Te contarán, que no hay sobre la Tierra
They will tell you, that there is no heart on Earth
un corazón que te ame igual
that loves you the same
un corazón que te ame igual
that loves you the same
un corazón que te ame igual, que yo
that loves you the same, as I do
Pero que digo que no vas a encontrar amor como el mio
But what I'm saying is that you won't find love like mine
Ni en un concierto de besos sobre la arena
Not even in a concert of kisses on the sand
Que no, que no, que no vas a encontrar un cariñito
No, no, you won't find a little affection
Ni en un cometa ni en el espacio infinito
Not even in a comet or in infinite space
Te contarán, oye, la luna y las estrellas
They will tell you, listen, the moon and the stars
Te contarán, los cielos del camino
They will tell you, the heavens of the road
Te contarán, que no hay sobre la Tierra
They will tell you, that there is no heart on Earth
un corazón que te ame igual
that loves you the same
un corazón que te ame igual
that loves you the same
un corazón que te ame igual, que yo
that loves you the same, as I do
