"Cuando te beso"....

Hi guys,

Could someone help me out? I love the song "cuando te beso" by Juan Luis Guerra but I can't figure out what the words mean exactly. My spanish is terrible but I'm working on it.

If this song had been translated somewhere else, a link would be fine too. I was hoping it would already be around here but I haven't been able to find it.

Here are the lyrics.

Cuando te beso
todo un oceano me corre por las venas
nacen flores en mi cuerpo cual jardin
y me abonas y me podas, soy feliz

Y sobre mi lengua se desviste un ruisenor
y entre sus alitas nos amamos sin pudor
cuando me besas
un premio Nobel le regalas a mi boca

Cuando te beso
te abres y cierras como ala de mariposa
y bautiza tu saliva mi ilusion
y me muerdes hasta el fondo la razon

Y un gemido se desnuda y sale de tu voz
le sigo los pasos y me dobla el corazon
cuando me besas
se prenden todas las estrellas en la aurora

Y sobre mi lengua se desviste un ruisenor
y entre sus alitas nos amamos sin pudor
cuando me besas
un premio Nobel le regalas a mi boca

Cuando te beso
tiembla la luna sobre el rio y se reboza...


Thanks

Pretty romantic stuff

When I kiss you
An entire ocean runs through my veins
Flowers grow in my body as if it were a garden
And you apply some fertilizer and you trim me, I’m happy

And on my tongue a nightingale reveals itself
And under his wings we love each other without shame
When you kiss me
You give a Nobel prize to my mouth

When I kiss you
You open and close up like the wings of a butterfly
And your saliva baptises my illusion
And you eat away all the reason

A moan undresses itself and gets out of your voice
I follow in his steps and my heart is folded
When you kiss me
All the stars are lit at dawn

And on my tongue a nightingale reveals itself
And under his wings we love each other without shame
When you kiss me
You give a Nobel prize to my mouth

When I kiss you
The moon balances over the river and dives …

Thanks...the words are even more beautifull then I thought.

And it sure is some pretty romantic stuff....I guess that's the reason I like it so much

giai mogiate por siemre so de prisipe tu cuentos

Is it possible that at the end there he may be saying that the moon trembles over the river and is coated [in shimmering white]? There is nothing in the text about "shimmering white," but if you consider that the moon is described as "trembling," and that the word "rebozarse" means to dip in batter, that might be an alternate sense.

This is by far the most romantic lyrics/song I have heard. This song is so beautiful I will be singing it to my Fiance' next month when I travel to meet her parents.
