A la Luz de los Coyuyos - José Alfredo Jiménez

¡Ay, amor de mis amores!

Te vengo a cantar mi copla

Ando lleno de ilusiones

Y quiero besar tu boca

Quiero decirte cositas

Que traigo dentro del alma

Pero como son bonitas

Quiero decirlas con calma

Yo no sé si vengas tú

Yo no sé si vaya yo

Pero has de sentir mis besos

Y yo he de sentir los tuyos;

Y hemos de quedarnos presos

A la luz de los cocuyos

Te quiero mirar bonita

Sin penas y sin orgullos

Y quiero echarme en tus brazos

A la luz de los cocuyos

Cuantas noches de tu vida

Habrás pasado conmigo

Contando las estrellas

Y solo Dios de testigo

Siempre con la cara al cielo

Cobijado con la luna

Contando las estrellitas:

Beso y beso, una por una

Yo no sé si vengas tú

Yo no sé si vaya yo

Pero has de sentir mis besos

Y yo he de sentir los tuyos;

Y hemos de quedarnos presos

A la luz de los cocuyos

Te quiero mirar bonita

Sin celos y sin orgullo

Y quiero echarme en tus brazos

A la luz de los cocuyos

Oh, love of my loves!

I come to sing my copla

I'm full of illusions

And I want to kiss your mouth

I want to tell you little things

What do I bring inside my soul?

But how are they pretty?

I want to say them calmly

I don't know if you come

I don't know if I go

But you have to feel my kisses

And I have to feel yours;

And we have to remain imprisoned

In the light of the cocuyos

I want to look pretty at you

Without sorrow and without pride

And I want to throw myself into your arms

In the light of the cocuyos

how many nights of your life

you will have passed with me

counting the stars

And only God of witness

Always with the face to the sky

sheltered with the moon

Counting the stars:

Kiss and kiss, one by one

I don't know if you come

I don't know if I go

But you have to feel my kisses

And I have to feel yours;

And we have to remain imprisoned

In the light of the cocuyos

I want to look pretty at you

Without jealousy and without pride

And I want to throw myself into your arms

In the light of the cocuyos
