Celia Cruz Te Busco

My lovely friend from Venezuala posted this song and I really liked it.

A long look at the sky
looking for a bit of my life.
My stars not respond
for light me to your laughter.

Waves disappearing from my eyes
to a legion of your memories.
rob me forms of your face
leaving sand in the silence.

I look for you, lost in dreams
the noise of the people, wrapped me in a veil.
Seek you flying in the sky
the wind it has taken you like an old handkerchief.

And I do not do more than dig
landscapes known
in places so strange
I can not give with you.

Pursuing you in any trace
in a shadow I draw you
footsteps and shadows that are lost (in solitude)
luck was not with me.

I look for you, lost in dreams
the noise of the people, wrapped me in a veil.
Seek you flying in the sky
the wind it has taken you like an old handkerchief.

And I do not do more than dig
landscapes known
in places so strange
I can not give with you.

And I search for you.


Another translation of the same song...so interesting. I love this song.

A gaze at the sky
Looking for a little of my life
My stars don't answer me
for (they)illuminate me to your laughter

Waves disappearing from my eyes ( ergo I become misty eyed )
to all of your memories
I steal shapes of your face ( ergo, I see your face in my mind )
leaving the arena in silence

I look for you lost in dreams
the noise of the crowd wraps me in a veil
I look for you flying in the sky
the wind has carried you like an old handkerchief

I don't do anything else but keep looking
Well known places
In places so strange
because I can not be with you

With every footstep I persue you
In the shadows I picture you
Footprints and shadows that are lost ( in solitude )
Lady luck was not with me

And I search for you.


I think I like the translation posted with the song here on youtube the best.
