Cuando Te Beso [English translation]

When I kiss you

An entire ocean runs through my veins

Flowers grow in my body as if it were a garden

And you apply some fertilizer and you trim me, I’m happy

And on my tongue a nightingale reveals itself

And under his wings we love each other without shame

When you kiss me

You give a Nobel prize to my mouth

When I kiss you

You open and close up like the wings of a butterfly

And your saliva baptises my illusion

And you eat away all the reason

A moan undresses itself and gets out of your voice

I follow in his steps and my heart is folded

When you kiss me

All the stars are lit at dawn

And on my tongue a nightingale reveals itself

And under his wings we love each other without shame

When you kiss me

You give a Nobel prize to my mouth

When I kiss you

The moon balances over the river and dives …
