Con Su Blanca Palidez

(A Whiter Shade of Pale)


Performed By Noemi (Popstars 3) – the fifth lyric with this tune and title that we've collected. It seems to be curiously related to another Spanish, and a Portuguese, version: read about this correspondence here.

Caminas por la arena

You walk across the sand

Te confundes con el mar

You vanish into the sea

Tu sonrisa es eterna

Your smile is eternal

Y tu piel me habla de amor

And your skin speaks to me of love

Nos miramos frente a frente

We look into each other’s eyes

Nos besamos en silencio

We kiss each other in silence

Y mi alma repetía que:

And my soul repeated that:

"Esto debe ser real"

"This must be real"

Como en un sueño se

As in a dream I know

Que a tu lado yo estaré

That I will be at your side

Y tu rostro tan sereno

And your face so serene

Con su blanca palidez

With its white paleness

En el sueño me decías:

In the dream you told me:

"Nunca voy a despertar"

"I will never awake"

Mar adentro te perdías

You were lost out at sea

Yo nadaba tras de ti

I swam after you

Y mis ojos se cerraban

And my eyes closed

Tu esperabas en la orilla

You waited on the shore

Yo venía y te abrazaba:

I came and embraced you:

"Esto debe ser real"

"This must be real"

Como en un sueño se

As in a dream I know

Que a tu lado yo estaré

That I will be at your side

Y tu rostro tan sereno

And your face so serene

Con su blanca palidez

With its white paleness

Como en un sueño se

As in a dream I know

Que a tu lado yo estaré

That I will be at your side

Y tu rostro tan sereno

And your face so serene

Con su blanca palidez

With its white paleness
