Letra del Vals Alma, corazón y vida

Recuerdo aquella vez, que yo te conocí,

Recuerdo aquella tarde pero no me acuerdo

Ni como te vi.

Pero sí te diré, que yo me enamoré,

De esos, tus lindos ojos y tus labios rojos

Que no olvidaré.



Oye esta canción que lleva:

Alma corazón y vida,

Estas tres cositas nada más te doy.

Porque no tengo fortuna,

Estas tres cosas te ofrezco:

Alma, corazón y vida y nada más.



Alma para conquistarte,

Corazón para quererte,

Y vida, para vivirla junto a ti…

English lyrics of the Vals "Alma, corazón y vida"

I remember that time, when I first met you,

I remember that evening but I can’t recall

Exactly how I saw you.

But I will tell you, I fell in love,

With those beautiful eyes and your red lips

Which I will never forget.

Listen to this song that carries:

Soul, heart, and life,

These three little things I give you only.

Because I have no fortune,

These three things I offer you:

Soul, heart, and life, and nothing more.

Soul to captivate you,

Heart to adore you,

And life, to live it alongside you…
