Frio Frio Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Frio Frio by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Tu amor es tan completamente tierno
Your love is so completely tender
Forjado de recuerdos
Forged from memories
Y sin saber es cielo en la ventana
And unknowingly it's sky in the window
Que me abre la mañana
That opens the morning for me
Tu amor me parte en dos el occidente
Your love splits my world in two
Me clava de repente
It pierces me suddenly
Y me convierte en masa que se amolda
And turns me into dough that molds itself
A una ilusión ardiente
To a burning illusion
Dime si mastico el verde menta de tu voz
Tell me if I savor the mint green of your voice
O le pego un parcho al alma
Or I patch my soul
Átame al pulgar derecho de tu corazón
Tie me to the right thumb of your heart
Y dime como está mi amor en tu amor
And tell me how my love is in your love
Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del río (frío)
Cold, cold (cold) like the river water (cold)
O caliente como agua de la fuente
Or hot like spring water
Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla (muy tibio)
Warm, warm (warm) like a silent kiss (very warm)
Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres
And it ignites if you happen to love it
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
Tu amor despierta y lava su carita
Your love wakes up and washes its face
De rosas me salpica
It splashes me with roses
Y sin saber es una vía láctea
And unknowingly it's a milky way
Que gira y me da vida
That spins and gives me life
Tu amor lo guardo dentro de mis ojos
Your love I keep inside my eyes
Como una lagrimita
Like a little tear
Y no los lloro para que no salgan
And I don't cry them so your kisses don't leave
Tus besos de mi vista
Your kisses from my sight
Dime si mastico el verde menta de tu voz
Tell me if I savor the mint green of your voice
O le pego un parcho a mi alma
Or I patch my soul
Átame al pulgar derecho de tu corazón
Tie me to the right thumb of your heart
Y dime como está mi amor en tu amor
And tell me how my love is in your love
Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del río (frío)
Cold, cold (cold) like the river water (cold)
O caliente como agua de la fuente
Or hot like spring water
Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla (muy tibio)
Warm, warm (warm) like a silent kiss (very warm)
Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres
And it ignites if you happen to love it
Pudiera ser un farolito
I could be a little lantern
Y encender tu luz (aja, uju, para encender mi luz)
And light your light (aha, uhu, to light my light)
Hasta que quieras tú (aja, uju)
Until you want to (aha, uhu)
Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del río (frío)
Cold, cold (cold) like the river water (cold)
O caliente como agua de la fuente
Or hot like spring water
Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla (muy tibio)
Warm, warm (warm) like a silent kiss (very warm)
Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres
And it ignites if you happen to love it
Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del río (frío)
Cold, cold (cold) like the river water (cold)
O caliente como agua de la fuente
Or hot like spring water
Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla (muy tibio)
Warm, warm (warm) like a silent kiss (very warm)
Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres
And it ignites if you happen to love it
Frío, frío
Cold, cold
Ay ay ay ay, hmm
Ay ay ay ay, hmm
Tibio, muy tibio, hmm
Warm, very warm, hmm
Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del río (frío)
Cold, cold (cold) like the river water (cold)
O caliente como agua de la fuente
Or hot like spring water
Tibio, tibio (tibio) como un beso que calla (muy tibio)
Warm, warm (warm) like a silent kiss (very warm)
Y se enciende si es que acaso le quieres
And it ignites if you happen to love it
Frío, frío (frío) como el agua del río (frío)
Cold, cold (cold) like the river water (cold)
O caliente como agua de la fuente
Or hot like spring water

Did you like this lyrics translation?
forjado — forged
Forjado literally translates to "forged," as in metal being shaped by heat and hammering. It's a strong, evocative word that you don't often hear in romantic lyrics.
In "Frío Frío," Juan Luis Guerra uses it to describe love: "Tu amor es tan completamente tierno / Forjado de recuerdos." This beautiful metaphor suggests that his love isn't just made of memories, but has been carefully crafted and strengthened by them, like a precious metal. It gives a sense of enduring, well-built affection.
