El Dia Que Me Quieras

This is the sweetest song of all time. Of course it's in Spanish and written about 50 years ago. Just makes it all the more wonderful. I apologize for not having appropriate accents over letters. For some reason I can't just copy and paste the lyrics over.

By Carlos Gardel

Acaricia mi ensueno It caresses my dream
el suave murmullo the soft whisper
de tu suspirar. of your sigh.
Come rie la vida How life laughs
si tus ojos negros if your black eyes
me quieran mirar. want to look at me.
Y si es mio el amparo And shelter is mine
de tu risa leve from your delicate laughter
que es como un cantar, that is like a song,
ella aquieta mi herida that eases my wound
todo todo se olvida. everything is forgotten.

El dia que me quieras The day that you love me
la rosa que engalana the rose that adorns
se vestira de fiesta will dress from celebration
con su mejor color. with its best color.
Y al viento las campanas And to the wind the church bells
diran que ya eres mia will say that you are mine
y locas las fontanas and the crazy fountains
se contaran su amor. will tell of their love.

La noche que me quieras The night that you love me
desde el azul del cielo, from the blue of the sky,
las estrellas celosas the jealous stars
nos miraran pasar. will watch us pass by.
Y un ravo misterioso And a mysterious ray
hara nido en tu pelo will be nested in your hair
luciernaga curiosa que veras curious firefly what you will see
que eres mi consuelo. that you are my comfort.

El dia que me quieras The day that you love me
no habra mas que armonia. there won't be anything more than harmony
Sera clara la aurora the dawn will be cleared
y alegre el manantial. and happy is the spring.
Traera quieta le brisa The breeze will quietly give
rumor de melodia. rumor of melody.
Y nos daran las fuentes And the fountains will give us
su canto de cristal. their crystal song.

El dia que me quieras, The day that you love me,
endulzaran sus cuerdas sweetening his chords
el pajaro cantor. the bird sings.
Florecera la vida Life blooms
no existira el dolor. pain will not exist.

La noche que me quieras The night that you love me
desde el azul del cielo, from the blue of the sky,
las estrellas celosas the jealous stars
nos miraran pasar. will watch us go by.
Y un ravo misterioso And a mysterious ray
hara nido en tu pelo. will nest in your hair.
Luciernaga curiosa que veras Curious firefly what you will see
que eres mi consuelo. that you are my comfort.
