LUCES DE COLORES Lyrics English Translation by Maki, María Artés
Colored lights
They pierce deep into my sight, and your scent is like flowers,
With the perfume of your chest, painted by artists.
Colored lights
They shine on your body, touched by my wandering fingers,
And between the sheets, a moan—that’s how you’ll fall in love.
Last night, there were colored lights on that warm, sleepless night,
And I picked flowers, placing them by your hair.
I could feel how your gaze stabbed into me like a thousand thorns,
And I soared, imagining wings just to offer you my life.
Colored lights, flashes of fantasy,
Your lips so close to mine, and the night watching in between.
Colored lights, reflections of a new day,
I’d stay here with you—this story never ends.
I love giving you the love you once asked for,
I only want to give you my nights and days.
I’ll be your warmth on the coldest night,
When you look at me, you cast your spell.
And I told God, who gave me your heart,
I keep it locked away in the little box of my love.
You’re my dream, my childhood illusion,
Now you’re mine—I prayed for this to God.
No, no, no—let no one find out, no, no,
You’re my joy, no, no,
To me, you are everything.
Colored lights, flashes of fantasy,
Your lips so close to mine, and the night watching in between.
Colored lights, reflections of a new day,
I’d stay here with you—this story never ends.
Colored lights drive my senses insane,
And in the night, your sighs blend into mine.
I wish I were a spark, just to shine in your eyes,
I wish I were the weapon of this sweet crime…
Come, give it to me—that kiss that makes me fall,
Losing myself in you, you take away all my fears.
Last night, there were colored lights on that beach, with our feet in the sand,
And I was there, bare, painting a picture by the fire.
I could feel how your gaze stabbed into me like a thousand thorns,
And I soared, imagining wings just to offer you my life.
Colored lights, flashes of fantasy,
Your lips so close to mine, and the night watching in between.
Colored lights, reflections of a new day,
I’d stay here with you—this story never ends.
