Remember in Acapulco
Those nights
Pretty Maria, Maria of my soul
Remember on the beach
How you rinsed the stars
With your little hands
Your body, sea toy, adrift boat
Waves were coming, they swunged it
While I was looking at you,
I say it with feelings
My thoughts betrayed me.
I told you so many beautiful words
With which hearts are being lulled
Asking you to love me,
To realize my illusions.
The Moon who was watching us
Stayed for a little while
It mused itself.
And when I saw it hidden
I kneeled to kiss you
And so give you my life.
Loves, you've had many loves
Pretty Maria, Maria of my soul
But none of them, so good nor so honoured
Like the one you made to sprout on me
I bring it full of flowers
As a gift
To leave it at your feet
Receive them emotionally
And swear you're not lying
Because you're feeling idealized.
