I want to show you a way in the sea

A place where no one has been able to reach

Where the wind is a friend, the breeze is a breath

That hugs your body, little one, as it passes

I want you to accompany me, woman

May my song wake up asleep on your skin

And tell you in your ear, without fear of oblivion

My beloved verses, my verses from yesterday

I want to lose myself in your body and anchor

In your port my boat empty of love

Write in the sand my tears and my sorrow

let the waves wash away my pain

I want you to accompany me, woman

That you share your life with me and then

When the autumn wind caresses your temple

To be together and united the same as yesterday

I want to show you a way in the sea

A place where no one has been able to reach

Where the wind is a friend, the breeze is a breath

That hugs your body, little one, as it passes

I want you to accompany me, woman

May my song wake up asleep on your skin

And tell you in your ear, without fear of oblivion

My beloved verses, my verses from yesterday

I want you to accompany me, woman

May my song wake up asleep on your skin

And tell you in your ear, without fear of oblivion

My beloved verses, my verses from yesterday

I want you to accompany me, woman

That you share your life with me and then

When the autumn wind caresses your temple

To be together and united the same as yesterday

"Quiero" (I want) is Julio Iglesias doing what he does best: a slow, seaside love song made of wishes. Almost every verse opens with "Quiero", and each one is a promise. First he wants to show her "un camino en el mar" (a path on the sea), a place "donde nadie ha podido llegar" (where nobody has been able to reach), where the breeze is "un suspiro" (a sigh) that hugs her body as it passes.

Then the wishes get more personal. He wants to drop anchor "en tu puerto" (in your harbour) with a boat "vacía de amor" (empty of love), write his tears and sorrow in the sand and let the waves wash the pain away. The chorus asks her to stay: "Quiero que tú me acompañes, mujer" (I want you to come with me, woman), all the way to old age, when the autumn wind strokes her temple and they are still "juntos y unidos iguales que ayer" (together and united, just like yesterday). It's sentimental, unhurried and a great song for practising the subjunctive after "quiero que".
