De palillas y mariposas
[Note: I am learning Spanish, and I wanted to try my hand at writing as well as speaking. I would love to get feedback from anyone who speaks the language fluently so I can improve. The English translation is below the original for those who don't speak Spanish. Gracias por su ayuda.]
No sabes cuanto tiempo
He querido decirte
Cuanto te amo
Tus ojos brillan
Como las estrellas
Tu corazón está llena
Del amor por el mundo
Y la vida
Pero me siento como
Una palilla a una llama
Cuando las mariposas
Bailen alrededor de
Tu cabeza
Y acercado hay
Muchas fuegos
Mas fuerzas
Que encuentro
¿Me mires si te pregunte
para una palabra?
Moriría un hombre feliz
Una palilla que
Cambia con tu voca dulce
Entre una mariposa
Que bailo yo mismo
TRANSLATION:
Of Moths and Butterflies
You don't know how long
I've wanted to tell you
How much I love you
Your eyes shine
Like the stars
Your heart is filled
With love for the world
And for life
But I feel like
A moth drawn to a flame
While the butterflies
Dance around your head
And nearby there are
Many fires
Much stronger
Than I encounter
Will you look at me if I ask you
For a word?
I would die a happy man
A moth that
Changes with your sweet voice
Into a butterfly
That dances myself
