Te Dedico
Carlos Vives
I Dedicate This to You
No one writes about love anymore, no one listens to songs
Those that make you fall in love
And even if it’s not like a Lama, it’s those soulful things
That I want to give you
Because, women like you
Are meant to be adored, and I
Am a simple, imperfect guy
Who’s lived more than just stories and loves you more each day
I dedicate every word and every verse
The cumbia that’s in my bones
And that we dance at the Caiman parties
I dedicate, from my guitar, every arpeggio
That letter from school
That we promised to keep forever
I dedicate this to you
Lai-rai-rai-re, lai-rai-rai-ra
Lai-rai-rai-ra, lai-lei-la-ra
No one looks into each other's eyes, no one falls in love with flowers
No one asks you to dance (wanna dance?)
Like the sun on your face, it’s those cool things
That I’m going to dedicate to you
Because, women like you
Are meant to be adored, and I
Am a simple, imperfect guy
Who’s lived more than just stories and loves you more each day
I dedicate every word and every verse
The cumbia that’s in my bones
And that we dance at the Caiman parties
I dedicate, from my guitar, every arpeggio
That letter from school
That we promised to keep forever
I dedicate this to you
I love watching you when you’re sleeping
I love the curves of your body
Your books, your glasses, and your feelings
Years have passed, winters have gone
Comets, tyrants, and kingdoms have come and gone
But with you, time never passes
I dedicate all the birds and the waves
The sun when it just peeks out
And, with its rays, starts to greet us
I dedicate, from my guitar, every arpeggio
That letter from school
That we promised to keep forever
I dedicate this to you
Lai-rai-rai-re, lai-rai-rai-ra
Lai-rai-rai-ra, lai-lei-la-ra, lai-lei-la-ra
I dedicate "The Queen", "If You Hadn't Left"
Forget Everything and "The Four Roads"
I dedicate "Pretty", "Little Stream", "I Ask God"
I dedicate "Until We’re Old" and "The Land of Oblivion"
When the years go by, the province with Egidio
"A Kiss and a Flower" and this Broken Heart
I dedicate a Thousand Hours of Argentine rock
The Love of My Land and the last album.
