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.
