Track Notes

Here is my arrangement of a very romantic song written by Juan Luis Guerra, Burbujas de amor.

Recorded at Two Guys From the Valley in North Hollywood, CA many moons ago. It is still a classic, so kids, don't put it down.

Lyrics

A very rough translation, some stuff just doesn't translate.


I have a heart
That has been maimed by hope and reason
I have a heart that wakes early no matter the place
¡Ay ay ay ay ay!
This heart
Bares itself impatiently
Before your voice
Poor heart
That can't catch its sanity

I would like to be a fish
So that I could touch your fish tank with my nose
So that I could blow love bubbles everywhere, ohhhh
To stay awake all night
While soaked in you

A fish
To adorn your waist with corals
And to draw love silhouettes under the moon, ohhhh
To satisfy this madness
While soaked in you

Sing, my heart
With an essential anchor made of illusions
Dream, my heart
Be not clouded by bitterness, ay ay ay ay ay

This heart
Bares itself impatiently
Before your voice
Poor heart
That can't catch its sanity

I would like to be a fish
So that I could touch your fish tank with my nose
So that I could blow love bubbles everywhere, oohh
To stay awake all night
While soaked in you

A fish
To adorn your waist with corals
And to draw love silhouettes under the moon, ohhhh
To satisfy this madness
While soaked in you

A night
To sink to the bottom
Face to face
Kiss by kiss
And to live
Forever
Soaked in you

I would like to be a fish
So that I could touch your fish tank with my nose
So that I could blow love bubbles everywhere, oohh
To stay awake all night
While soaked in you

A fish
To adorn your waist with hibiscus
And to draw love silhouettes under the moon, ohhhh
To satisfy this madness
While soaked in you
