The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Soñando contigo" by Antonio Banderas.
Lyrics
Soñé con Robinsones y palmeras
con islas del tesoro y calaveras
con barcos de piratas.
Tenía entonces un sable de madera
y un equipo de primera
formado con tapones de hojalata.
Soñé después con ser un marinero
cortar en dos el mar con mi velero
y por banda diez cañones.
Tenía en mi mente de Alberti un texto entero
una playa y un cielo
y a medias el Cantueso de Quiñones.
Soñé ser cantor de celestiales
enamorar a la Cibeles
como sabe hacer el Cantamañanas.
Tenía una guitarra soñadora
dormida en una alcoba
de la Pensión Triana.
El tesoro que buscaba
yo sabía que estaba
en uno de esos versos escondido
y cuando te tuve a mi lado
comprendí que había pasado
la vida entera soñando contigo.
Mi mundo se tornaba blanco y negro
cuando con un bombín, frente al espejo
imitaba a Candilejas.
Recuerdo aquel azul mediterráneo
un verdial en mis labios
la devoción de cada primavera.
De pronto improvisaba un escenario
donde volvía loco al vecindario
cantando noche y día.
Ansiaba deshojando el calendario
los milagros de Mayo
y los veranos de la fantasía.
Soñé ser cantor de celestiales
enamorar a la Cibeles
como sabe hacer el Cantamañanas.
Tenía una guitarra soñadora
dormida en una alcoba
de la Pensión Triana.
El tesoro que buscaba
yo sabía que estaba
en uno de esos versos escondido
y cuando te tuve a mi lado
comprendí que había pasado
la vida entera soñando contigo.
Contigo,
contigo,
la vida entera contigo...
y cuando te tuve a mi lado
comprendí que había pasado
la vida entera soñando contigo.
La vida entera contigo.
Lyrics translation
I dreamed of Robinsons and palm trees
with Treasure islands and skulls
with pirate ships.
He had then a wooden saber
and a first-rate team
formed with tin plugs.
I then dreamed of being a sailor
cut the sea in two with my sailboat
and by band ten guns.
I had in my Alberti mind a whole text
a beach and a sky
and half the Cantuesus of Quiñones.
I dreamed of being a singer of Celestials
fall in love with the Cybeles
like he knows how to sing a song.
I had a dreamy guitar
sleeping in a bedroom
from the Triana pension.
The treasure I was looking for
I knew he was
in one of those verses hidden
and when I had you by my side
I understood what had happened
my whole life dreaming about you.
My world was turning black and white
when with a bowler, in front of the mirror
imitating Candilejas.
I remember that Mediterranean Blue
a verdial on my lips
the devotion of every spring.
I was suddenly improvising a scenario
where he was driving the neighborhood crazy
singing night and day.
I was looking forward to ripping off the calendar.
the miracles of May
and the summers of fantasy.
I dreamed of being a singer of Celestials
fall in love with the Cybeles
like he knows how to sing a song.
I had a dreamy guitar
sleeping in a bedroom
from the Triana pension.
The treasure I was looking for
I knew he was
in one of those verses hidden
and when I had you by my side
I understood what had happened
my whole life dreaming about you.
With you,
with you,
my whole life with you...
and when I had you by my side
I understood what had happened
my whole life dreaming about you.
My whole life with you.
