I discovered Carlos Vives during my Zumba class…
and though I didn’t understand all the lyrics to his song “Quiero Casarme Contigo” also known as “Volví a Nacer” perfectly, the beats and the rhythm moved me. When this Colombian sings, he does so with such passion and soul, you can’t help but be moved; it’s like a warm blanket of emotion… so beautiful.
Then I translated all the lyrics and fell even more in love; I need to get back on my language study schedule so I can become fluent in Spanish.
This is the perfect wedding song for Latin brides or couples. Listen to the full song { here with English translation } and download it from Itunes { here }
Spanish Lyrics
Puedo no roncar por las mañanas.
Puedo trabajar de sol a sol.
Puedo subirme hasta el Himalaya…
O batirme con mi espada
Para no perder tu amor.
Puedo ser, tu fiel, chófer, mujer,
Todo lo que te imaginas puedo ser.
Y es que por tu amor volví a nacer,
Tú fuiste la respiración,
Y era tan grande la ilusión.
Pero si te vas que voy hacer,
Planchar de nuevo el corazón,
Se pone triste esta canción.
Quiero casarme contigo!
Quedarme a tu lado,
Ser el bendecido con tu amor.
Por eso yo quiero
Dejar mi pasado…
Que vengas conmigo,
Morir en tus brazos… dulce amor.
Por eso yo quiero!
English Lyrics Translation:
I may be able not to snore in the mornings
I may be able to work from sunrise to sunset
I may climb the Himalaya
Or fight anybody with my sword
So that I don’t lose your love
I can be your faithful, driver, woman
All you might imagine, I can be
because your love make me born again
You were my breathing
the hope was so big
but if you go away what am I going to do
Iron the heart again
This song goes dreary
I want to marry you
Stay by your side
be the one bless with your love
That’s why I want
I want to give up my past
I want you to come with me
Die in your arms sweet love
That’s why I want
