Lyrics and translation Willie Colón - Serenata

Serenata

La luna va surgiendo color de plata,
Lo alto en la montaña reverdeciendo,
La lira del cantor en serenata...
Reclamanda con llaneza a su amante.

El sol, la melodía apasionada,
La guitarra sonando sin canción,
Confiesa el trovador a su amada.
Lo que por dentro siente su corazón.

Oh linda imagen de mujer que me seduce
Me haces recordar como si estuviera en un altar
Esa luna que nos brinda esa luz,
Es malandrina, no precisa trabajar.

Acuerdate, mi bella enamorada
La luna nos invita a pasear
Sus rayos iluminan todita la plaza.
Por donde deberíamos pasar.

La calle está desierta, ven querida.
Espero en el viento tu fragancia,
Y verás que al surgir la madrugada,
Sus ojos volverán hacia sus niños.

Oh linda imagen de mujer que me seduce
Me haces recordar como si estuviera en un altar
Esa luna que nos brinda esa luz,
Es malandrina, no precisa trabajar.

Serenade

The moon is rising, the color of silver,
The top of the mountain is turning green,
The singer's lyre in a serenade...
Reclaims his lover with a simple plea.

The sun, the passionate melody,
The guitar playing without a song,
Confesses the troubadour to his beloved.
What his heart feels deep inside.

Oh, beautiful image of a woman who seduces me
You make me remember as if I were at an altar
That moon that gives us that light,
She is a rogue, she doesn't need to work.

Remember, my beautiful lover
The moon invites us to walk
Its rays illuminate the entire square.
Where we ought to pass.

The street is deserted, come my dear.
I await your fragrance in the wind,
And you will see that when dawn breaks,
Her eyes will return to her children.

Oh, beautiful image of a woman who seduces me
You make me remember as if I were at an altar
That moon that gives us that light,
She is a rogue, she doesn't need to work.
