YO QUISIERA English Translation Lyrics by Joana Santos

I would like to be the owner of the oars of your love.
Son, son, for you to dance it, son, son,
To sing them to the wind.

I would like to be the owner
of the oars of your love,
the captain of your ship,
the one who commands the helm.

I would like to be the owner
of the oars of your love,
the captain of your ship,
the one who steers the helm.

I’ve got him enchanted,
and those green little eyes, boy,
have bewitched me.
I don’t know what it is you have,
tell me what you’ve given me,
because I cry every night
if I don’t have you by my side.

I tried to forget, but the gaze
of that little gypsy stays in my mind,
and I’d give everything just to see you again,
but this pain I go through for not having you
is causing my end.

I would like to be the owner
of the oars of your love,
the captain of your ship,
the one who steers the helm.

I would like to be the owner
of the oars of your love,
the captain of your ship,
the one who commands the helm.

I’m a womanizer,
because that’s how destiny made me,
but if you want me,
I’ll leave it all and go with you.
I’m a basket-maker,
I’ve even slept by the rivers,
I carry flamenco in my blood,
like the old ones, I trust no one.

I don’t know why, but that gypsy,
when she looks at me, the world drives me crazy.
I just long to kiss her lips,
she knows it and knows how to provoke me,
there’s no one like her.

I would like to be the owner, oh,
of the oars of your love,
the captain of your ship,
the one who commands the helm.

I would like to be the owner
of the oars of your love,
the captain of your ship,
the one who commands the helm.

I would like to be the owner
of the oars of your love,
the captain of your ship,
the one who steers the helm.

And this rumba, so flamenco…
for you to dance it, son, son,
to sing them to the wind.
And this rumba, so flamenco…
for you to dance it, son, son,
to sing them to the wind.
