Favorite old song from home

This song is titled Piel Canela or cinnamon Skin. It was composed by a very famous Puerto Rican artist named Bobby CapĆ³ (January 1, 1922 - December 18, 1989). He changed and enriched the music of the time in PR. In order for you to grasp some of the meaning of his lyrics, I translated it. I apologize for the rough translation, I did the best I could.:0)

"May the infinite (sky) be left without stars
and may the wide sea loose its immensity,
but may the blackness of your eyes not perish
and the cinnamon of your skin remain the same.

If the rainbow lost its beauty
and the flowers their scent and their color,
my sadness would not be as immense
like that of being left without your love.

I care about you, you, you
nothing other than you, you, you
I care about you, you, you
nothing other than you...

Black eyes, cinnamon skin
that can make me desperate.

I care about you..."
