Original lyrics

Embrujo

De esta noche transparente

Un deseo que me llama a ti

Que me desborda en un torrente

Y me rinde sin dolor

Que se va enredando entre mis labios

Y mi mente

Y en tu nombre se hace amor

Embrujo

De esta noche apasionada

Que nos sueña con amanecer

Que así la siga madrugada

Que se quiere detener

Entre los puñales que me clava

Tu mirada

Y entre lunas de placer

Embrujo

Que me encarcela entre tus vientos

Que me robas indigno

Y me quita el aliento

Embrujo

Que me florece entre las manos

Y las vuelve dos palomas

Que por tu cielo están volando

Que por tu cuerpo están volando

Embrujo

De esta noche prohibida

Escondida en la oscuridad

Para fingir que está dormida

Y quebrar mi voluntad

Para recordarnos las promesas

No cumplidas

Que se hacen realidad

Embrujo

Que me florece entre las manos

Y las vuelve dos palomas

Que por tu cielo están volando

Que por tu cuerpo están volando

Embrujo

De esta noche transparente

Un deseo que me llama a ti

Que me desborda en un torrente

Y me rinde sin dolor

Que se va enredando entre mis labios

Y mi mente

Y en tu nombre se hace amor

Que se va enredando entre mis labios

Y mi mente

Y en tu nombre se hace amor...

Translation

Bewitching

of this translucent night,

a desire drawing me to you,

overflowing like a river,

surrendering without pain.

Coiling around my lips

and mind.

Turning into love by your name.

Bewitching

of this passionate night

dreaming of the oncoming dawn,

may the sunrise thus follow

wishing to stop

between the daggers your eyes rain

down on me

and the pleasure-laden moons.

Bewitching

imprisoning me in your winds

stealing my senses away

with my breath.

Bewitching

flowering between my joined hands

and turns them into two doves

that soar and fly in your heaven

that soar and fly over your body.

Bewitching

of this prohibited night

tucked away among the dark

so as to pretend to be asleep

and in this way break my will.

So as to remind us of the promises

unfulfilled

turning into reality.

Bewitching

flowering between my joined hands

and turns them into two doves

that soar and fly in your heaven

that soar and fly over your body.

Bewitching

of this translucent night,

a desire drawing me to you,

overflowing like a river

surrendering without pain

coiling around my lips

and mind.

Turning into love by your name.

coiling around my lips

and mind.

Turning into love by your name.

Author's comments:

I´ve tried to keep a rhythm in the translation that is more or less on par with the original ones, hence some of the paragprahs are not very correct or feature odd wordings of constructions (like the use of gerunds). I also used "Bewitching", which describes the act and not effect, since the closes equivalent ("spell", "sorcery") won´t sound good due to it having less syllables than the original word.
