SALLY MORRIS: A VALENTINE
Friday is Valentine’s Day, and being the romantic that I am, I feel compelled to share something special. So here goes. This is a lovely song, the most romantic love song ever - it is written to Love, itself. It is performed here by Mexico’s greatest singing artist, Jose Jose. Here are the lyrics:
Amor, Amor
By Rafael Perez-Botija
Interpreted by Jose Jose
Donde esta el amor Where is Love?
Alguien lo ha encontrado Please, has anyone found it
por favor o no or not?
Donde puede ir Where can it be?
puede estar herido Can it be hurt?
pero no morir But not to die.
Puede estar cansado Can it be tired?
puede estar encadenado Can it be in chains?
o quizas este dormido Or perhaps it is sleeping
a la sombra de un olvido In the shadow of obvlivion
Amor, Amor Love, love
Que te pintas de cualquier color That you paint yourself whatever color
tan profundo como el viento As profound as the wind
tan lejano como el tiempo As far as time
y tan cierto como el sol As sure as the sun
Amor, amor Love, love
si me escuchas y me puedes ver If you hear me, if you can see me
no me cierres tu guarida Don’t close your doors to me
llena un poco de mi vida Fill a little of my life
llena un poco de mi ser Fill a little of my being
Donde puede estar Where can Love be
el amor que un día That one day
se llevo la mar Took the sea,
Cuando volvera When will it return
puede que no vuelva Can it be that it will never more return
nunca más quizas Perhaps
Puede estar perdido Can it be lost
puede estar desfallecido Can it be faint
quizas este sentado Perhaps it’s resting
a la puerta del pasado At the door to the past
