Carnaval [English translation]
Carnaval [English translation]
Not a single day goes by
When I don't feel kissed
By the salty perfume
Of a spellbound city.
In an incomparable Carnival
Down the millenary streets,
Down the alleys, the boulevards
Of this imaginary city.
My friends say
That I am not the same I was before;
I watch the sea and there's a joy
That invades me in a single instant...
Disguising my sorrow,
Out of so much happiness...
The sun's rays fall!
The light falls!
The rain falls all over us!
The night falls!
The voice falls!
And I sing;
Therefore, I captivate...
I fell because I wanted to fall;
I fell out of sheer desire.
I fell into a sea of pleasure:
In your arms, in your kisses.
I kept following your steps:
Your dances, your songs.
I both lost and found myself
By sailing across your seas!
Beloved city, I'll return
For the feasts of February,
Which remind me as much of Havana
As they remind me of Rio de Janeiro!
I left it there, in my heart,
And so much happiness...
The light falls!
The sun's rays fall!
The rain falls all over us!
The night falls!
The voice falls!
The night falls, it falls...
The rain falls on us!
The night falls, it falls...
The rain falls on us!
The light falls!
The voice falls!
And I sing;
Therefore, I captivate...
