De Oro Lyrics in English Juanes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song De Oro by Juanes from Spanish to English.
Olo-le-lo-lai
Olo-le-lo-lai
How wheat-colored your skin is, ay
Your smiling heart
Like your fiery mouth
That's how I love you, woman
And there in your black eyes, next to the sun
The joy in your smile
And your hair in the golden breeze
It braided my dreams, I love you
Olo-le-lo-lai
For you I dreamed, my love
Olo-le-lo-lai
I spend the day thinking
Olo-le-lo-lai
And at night dreaming
Olo-le-lo-lai
That from your eyes I spoke to your mouth
And I made your mouth feel
What I kept here in my chest
And it only woke for you
In your hair I wove a thousand dreams
And in your breath I planted a carnation
And in your body I made my blanket
And my sheet was your skin, I love you
Olo-le-lo-lai
For you I dreamed, my love
Olo-le-lo-lai
I spend the day thinking
Olo-le-lo-lai
And at night dreaming
Olo-le-lo-lai
Because I love you
I love you golden
And I adore you
I love you golden
And I adore you
I love you golden
And I adore you
I love you golden
And I adore you
I love you golden
And I adore you
I love you golden
And I adore you
Olo-le-lo-lai
For you I dreamed, my love
Olo-le-lo-lai
I spend the day thinking
Olo-le-lo-lai
And at night dreaming
Olo-le-lo-lai
Because I love you

SONG MEANING

De Oro is Juanes’s sparkling love declaration that compares his beloved to treasures of the sun. Over a playful olo-le-lo-lai chant, the Colombian singer paints vivid images: skin the color of wheat, eyes that hold sunlight, hair that shimmers like gold. Every line shows how deeply he is infatuated. He spends his days thinking and his nights dreaming, weaving fantasies in her hair and planting flowers in her breath. The chorus repeats one simple message—te quiero de oro—I love you like gold.

At its heart, the song celebrates a love so bright that it turns ordinary moments into priceless memories. The rhythmic refrain invites listeners to dance while the lyrics reveal tenderness and devotion. Juanes blends folk‐style vocal riffs with Caribbean percussion, creating a warm, upbeat atmosphere that mirrors the glow of the “golden” woman he adores. Listen closely and you will feel the sunshine of Medellín pouring straight into your ears.
