When there were you, blues, was, is, a joyful, great,

poetic song and every day, was, is, good news,

When there were you:

When there were you, salsa reminds me,

of the mighty, magnificent, joyful you,

 laughing, dancing, swaying, here and there,

heads high, with the wise, majestic, poetic you,

When there were you:

When there were you, every music, seems to speak,

in your tongue, far and near, like the wind,

touches, and follow you and I,

When there were you:

When there were you—my beloved,

my spirit soars high, like the beautiful, great sky,

my heart dance freely, I felt brave, deep love,

there were no sad blues,

when there were only you and I—my love;

The universe, planet seems much more —, bright

There were less tears—there were many

victorious smiles; when there were only you!
