your fingers long and slender
soft
and tender when they touch me
to them i must surrender
and let my heart feel free
…y deje que mi corazon se siente libre
speaking gentle caring words
where you and i
into each other’s arms doth render
…en los brazos del otro render
before our first night together
and we held each other, oh so tight
promising our secret song only to each other
…prometiendo nuestra cancion secreta solo uno al otro
and still your gentle touch long and slender
provides me in my waning years
the sustenance of the verve in life,
into my arms, you’ve helped me capture
…en mis brazos me ayudaste a capturar
and when it does which all must do
i shall carry in my soul the love of you and
onto my next sojourn which no matter where,
with you in my heart, will be my heaven
…contigo en mi corazon sera mi cielo
to them i must surrender
and let my heart feel free
…y deje que mi corazon se siente libre
you
enter into my life
by
walking, standing near mespeaking gentle caring words
where you and i
into each other’s arms doth render
…en los brazos del otro render
whisper
in my ear of our yesteryears
how we
kissed in the duskbefore our first night together
and we held each other, oh so tight
promising our secret song only to each other
…prometiendo nuestra cancion secreta solo uno al otro
the
deep azure in your eyes pierce my soul
your
smile envelops me with raptureand still your gentle touch long and slender
provides me in my waning years
the sustenance of the verve in life,
into my arms, you’ve helped me capture
…en mis brazos me ayudaste a capturar
i
awaken in my heart to this in the mornings
wish
for this to never endand when it does which all must do
i shall carry in my soul the love of you and
onto my next sojourn which no matter where,
with you in my heart, will be my heaven
…contigo en mi corazon sera mi cielo
Just lovely. Refrains in the mother tongue add the flair!
