Dame una sonrisa [English translation]

[Soledad:]

Waking up with your gentleness,

Spinning around the moon

Who, already exhausted, has fallen asleep in your eyes.

Because with you I'm in a cloud,

Which embraces me and lifts me

Up your navel, So I can see the rising of the sun.

[Carlos Vives:]

To be reborn from your silence,

Stopping this moment

In which I listen your heart, like this.

And you have lifted me up to the stars

And now, I'm one of them

Because... I've woken up in Heaven thanks to your love!

[Chorus:]

Give me a smile

From deep within you;

Give me your water

So I can know your secret!

Give me another little kiss

So I can see the stars

And, in order to climb down from thus cloud,

Bring me a ladder!

[Carlos Vives:]

I only want the sweetness

Of your kisses, which last in me,.

Heal me and taste of eternity.

[Juntos:]

And nothing is more afflicted by madness

Than my mouth, which rushes

Because now it feels such thirst for your kisses!

[Chorus:]

Give me a smile

From deep within you;

Give me your water

So I can know your secret!

Give me another little kiss

So I can see the stars

And, in order to climb down from thus cloud,

Bring me a ladder!

[Spoken]

[Carlos Vives:]

There goes Soledad, as bright as a star...

What I wouldn't give

If she actually asked me what time it is!

[Soledad:]

Look at this guy: he is so shameless!

I'm all happy and calm

And now, he comes around here with his high tales.

[Carlos Vives:]

You're my dream, like an El Dorado:

I climbed up to heaven

And I don't know how to climb down anymore.

[Soledad:]

I shall be your fire... I shall be your star!

So you can climb down,

I will bring you a ladder...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

[Chorus:]

Give me a smile

From deep within you;

Give me your water

So I can know your secret!

Give me another little kiss

So I can see the stars

And, in order to climb down from thus cloud,

Bring me a ladder!

[Carlos Vives:]

Listen, Sole!

[Soledad:]

What?

[Carlos Vives:]

Will you leave me up here?

Bring me the ladder.

[Soledad:]

Here I go!

[Carlos Vives:]

Otherwise, I'll jump!

Ay-ay-ya-yé...

Ay-rai-rai-rá...
