Noche serena
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
Noche serena de primavera, 
blanca paloma del alba luz
noche serena de primavera; 
blanca azucena, esa eres tu

Y al haber yo llegado aquí, 
todo lleno de embeleso
recibe ese tierno beso que te mando para ti

Campo en invierno, flor marchitada
noche sin luna, negro turbión;
Flor sin aroma, marchitada
arbol tronchado - eso soy yo.

Peaceful night
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español) 
Peaceful night in springtime, 
white dove of the light of dawn
peaceful night in springtime, 
white lily - that is what you are

And since I have arrived here, 
so full of delight
receive this tender kiss that I send to you

Field in winter, withered flower
night without moon, black storm;
flower without aroma, withered;
chopped-down tree - that is what I am.
