Al Amor
Language: Spanish (Español)
Available translation(s): ENG ITA
Dame, Amor, besos sin cuento
Asido de mis cabellos
Y mil y ciento tras ellos
Y tras ellos mil y ciento
Y después...
De muchos millares, tres!
Y porque nadie lo sienta
Desbaratemos la cuenta
Y... contemos al revés.

To the beloved
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español)
Give me, Love, kisses without number,
as the number of hairs on my head,
and give me a thousand and a hundred after that,
and a hundred and a thousand after that...
and after those...
many thousands... give me three more!
And so that no one feels bad...
Let us tear up the tally
and begin counting backwards!
