Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bachata Rosa by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Te regalo una rosa
I give you a rose
La encontré en el camino
I found it on the road
No sé si está desnuda
I don't know if it's naked
O tiene un solo vestido
Or it has just one dress
No, no lo sé
No, I don't know
Si la riega el verano
If the summer waters it
O se embriaga de olvido
Or it gets drunk on oblivion
Si alguna vez fue amada
If it was ever loved
O tiene amor escondido
Or it holds hidden love
Ay, ay, ay, ay, amor
Ay, ay, ay, ay, love
Eres la rosa que me da calor
You are the rose that gives me warmth
Eres el sueño de mi soledad
You are the dream of my solitude
Un letargo de azul
A lethargy of blue
Un eclipse de mar, pero
An eclipse of sea, but
Ay, ay, ay, ay, amor
Ay, ay, ay, ay, love
Yo soy satélite y tú eres mi sol
I am a satellite and you are my sun
Un universo de agua mineral
A universe of mineral water
Un espacio de luz
A space of light
Que solo llenas tú, ay amor
That only you fill, ay love
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Te regalo mis manos
I give you my hands
Mis párpados caídos
My fallen eyelids
El beso más profundo
The deepest kiss
El que se ahoga en un gemido
The one that drowns in a moan
Te regalo un otoño
I give you an autumn
Un día entre abril y junio
A day between April and June
Un rayo de ilusiones
A ray of illusions
Un corazón al desnudo
A bare heart
Ay, ay, ay, ay, amor
Ay, ay, ay, ay, love
Eres la rosa que me da calor
You are the rose that gives me warmth
Eres el sueño de mi soledad
You are the dream of my solitude
Un letargo de azul
A lethargy of blue
Un eclipse de mar, vida
An eclipse of sea, life
Ay, ay, ay, ay, amor
Ay, ay, ay, ay, love
Yo soy satélite y tú eres mi sol
I am a satellite and you are my sun
Un universo de agua mineral
A universe of mineral water
Un espacio de luz
A space of light
Que solo llenas tú, ay amor
That only you fill, ay love
Ay, ay, ay, ay, amor
Ay, ay, ay, ay, love
Eres la rosa que me da calor
You are the rose that gives me warmth
Eres el sueño de mi soledad
You are the dream of my solitude
Un letargo de azul
A lethargy of blue
Un eclipse de mar, pero
An eclipse of sea, but
Ay, ay, ay, ay, amor
Ay, ay, ay, ay, love
Yo soy satélite y tú eres mi sol
I am a satellite and you are my sun
Un universo de agua mineral
A universe of mineral water
Un espacio de luz
A space of light
Que solo llenas tú, ay amor
That only you fill, ay love
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
Ay, ay, ay, ay
