I want to steal a smile from you
And tell you that I love you
But you hide
On your precious lips
The reason for my sleepless nights
One afternoon
I caught a butterfly
And sent it through your window
To let you know
That I longed to see you
Please, could you come out?
But the butterfly flew away
And you didn’t reply to my message
The elders say
That women nowadays
Don’t care for the little things
Don’t care for the little things
I want to steal your soul
And lose myself until you love me
I have friends all across the savannah
Who will hide me on any path
I have friends all across the savannah
Who will hide me on any path
Because you hide and forget me
You reject me, then pamper me
Then you push me away
You complain about senseless things, and I’m left
Always with the same thirst for your smile
I want to steal a smile from you
I want to tell you that I love you
I want to steal a smile from you
I want to tell you that I love you
I know you have
I know you have a new boyfriend
But I don’t care
He doesn’t know
He enjoys your kisses
While you flirt with me
And he clings
To always going out with you
Hand in hand
It bothers you
But you keep on to spite me
Because I’m in love
Tell him he’s being a fool
And to leave you alone
That these loves
Were born during the carnival
One afternoon in Barranquilla
In the midst of the Battle of Flowers
Oh, one of these days, I’ll snatch you
From the hand of that new boyfriend
So you can compare in detail
The sweetness my kisses have
So you can compare in detail
The sweetness my kisses have
What I offer you is pure love
What I offer you is pure love
My songs
A joyful life
A necklace of verses
To always praise you
Like the princess
Of this king without a throne
I want to steal a smile from you
I want to tell you that I love you
I want to steal a smile from you
I want to tell you that I love you
