Marisabel (Marisabel)
Music: Carlos Vicente Geroni Flores
Lyrics: Claudio Frollo
Translation: Felipe & Ayano
Recorded by Ricardo Tanturi with Alberto Castillo in 1942
Spanish
Por el modo tan raro de hablar
presentí la tragedia interior
y besando su nuca preciosa,
le dije: Celosa, ¿me guardas rencor?
Si motivan tu grave inquietud
mis sonetos y cantos a Esther,
en confianza te juro al oído,
Esther eres tú, mi Marisabel.
Serás siempre mi reina y señora,
no existen Amalia, Susana ni Esther.
Mis sonetos inspiras tú sola
con nombres distintos, mi Marisabel.
(Instrumental)
(Unsung part)
Se apartó los cabellos y vi
su carita nimbada de luz,
palpitante su seno de virgen,
me dijo llorosa: Mi vida eres tú.
Te idolatro y no quiero pensar
que otra inspire tus versos de amor.
Y atrayéndome, suave, hacia ella
sus labios de seda me ofreció.
English
From such strange way of speaking
I sensed the inner tragedy
and kissing her precious nape
I told her "You jealous, do you hold any grudge?"
If my sonnets and songs for Esther
motivate your serious unrest,
in secret I swear to you in your ear
Esther is you, my Marisabel.
You will always be my queen and my lady,
Amalia, Susana or Esther don't exist.
Only you inspire my sonnets
with different names, my Marisabel.
(Instrumental)
(Unsung part)
She parted her hair and I saw
her face surrounded by light,
her virgin bosom palpitating
crying she told me: You are my life.
I idolize you and I don't want to think
that another woman inspires your verses of love
and drawing me in smoothly,
her silky lips she offered me.
