Today, a vow has been broken
Because I thought
That I was a butterfly
That didn’t believe in love
That couldn’t fall in love.
And today, a vow has been broken, I think
Because now I only see through her eyes
And this is such a strange thing.
I wake up at midnight
Running out to find her,
As an excuse to see her again,
I sing her a serenade,
As an excuse to see her again,
I sing her a serenade.
Oh! Because she has that certain something
That enchants,
And they even say I’ve found my match,
And to deny the Cesar River its waters
Would be the same as hiding it.
What does it mean to be a Christian,
A man of Christ,
If I’m not in love?
Escalona has never cried
But the world has seen Leandro Diaz.
The waves reach the shore and leave
But I can’t, my beautiful dark-skinned girl,
Soon enough, you will be my wife
You are the light that illuminated my life
The hummingbird found its perfect rose
I don’t regret making that vow in vain
Because now I truly feel in love
By God’s grace, I need you
What will I do if you cast me into oblivion?
A distant sunset sees the night fall
A fable, a flower blooms from the heart
Only to love you,
They tell you to leave me, but no
Only listen to my advice, and if there’s love
Then blessed will be my fate.
It would be like taking life from life
And may God not allow that,
From a dove flying, in need
Of having its wound healed
From a dove flying, in need
Of having its wound healed.
Oh! Because since I opened my eyes
I believe I was already in love
If I stop loving her, I adore her,
Dragonflies have flown,
Messages they are carrying,
Take mine to her
And if I am not in love
Can’t you see old Emiliano
Has not seen the Cesar River rise?
I know you love me and won’t forget me
Otherwise, I’d rather not live
For I breathe from your breath, too
You’ll live in a humble cottage
You’ll be the muse who always inspires me
The vow I made has fallen apart
Because now I swear I am loving you
You are the light that illuminated my life
The hummingbird found its perfect rose.
