Letra del Vals Cumpleaños de mi esposa

¡Oh! Dulce esposa de mi vida
Eres canción de mi alegría,
Eres sencilla cual la rosa
Que aroma a todos por igual.

En el destino de mi vida
Brillando estás, maravillosa,
Hoy cumple años, dulce esposa
Que sea eterno nuestro amor.

En tu día
Al cielo pediré,
Una estrella
Que brillará en tu sien,
Y trocitos
De plata lunar,
Para tu pelo…
¡Quiero soñar!…

English lyrics of the Vals "Cumpleaños de mi esposa"

Oh! Sweet wife of my life
You are the song of my joy,
You are as simple as the rose
That scents everyone alike.

In the destiny of my life
You shine, wonderful,
Today is your birthday, sweet wife
May our love be eternal.

On your day
I will ask the heavens,
For a star
That will shine on your brow,
And little pieces
Of moon silver,
For your hair…
I want to dream!…
