Reyli Barba - Amor Del Bueno
A few days ago, someone asked me to help them find a song song in Spanish that they could dance to at a wedding. I don’t really know the details (are they getting married? is it a tribute to someone else?) but what I did know was there was a short list for me to choose from.
I gave them three songs to choose from: Barba’s Amor del Bueno, Los Lonely Boys’ La Contestion, and Marc Anthony’s duet with Ana Gabriel Quiero Vivar La Vida Amandote. Which song they ended up choosing? No idea. But I do know that I had to post this song because it is ABSOLUTELY beautiful. Whether you speak Spanish or not, this is one of those songs I feel can still be appreciated. I’ve included both the Spanish lyrics and the english translation but let me just mention that there is definitely something lost in translation.
I hope everyone enjoys! This is a love song at its best.

Reyli Barba - Amor Del Bueno (True Love)
Como un cuchillo
En la mantequilla
Entraste en mi vida
Cuando me moria
Como la luna
Por la rendija
Asi te metiste
Entre mis pupilas
Y así te fui queriendo a diario
Sin una ley sin un horario
Y así me fuiste despertando
De cada sueño donde estabas tu
Y nadie lo buscaba
Y nadie lo planeó así
En el destino estaba
Que fueras para mi
Y nadie le apostaba
A que yo fuera tan feliz
Pero cupido se apiadó de mí
Se apiadó de mí
Se apiadó de mí
Como la lluvia
En pleno desierto
Mojaste de fe mi corazón
Ahogaste mis miedos
Como una dulce voz
En el silencio
Así nos llegó el amor
Amor del bueno
Y así te fui queriendo a diario
Sin una ley sin un horario
Y así me fuiste despertando
De cada sueo donde estabas tu
Y nadie lo buscaba
Y nadie lo planeó asi
En el destino estaba
Que fueras para mi
Y nadie le apostaba
A que yo fuera tan feliz
Pero cupido se apiadó de mi
Y nadie le apostaba
A que yo fuera tan feliz
Pero cupido se apiadó de mi
Se apiadó de miENGLISH TRANSLATION
Like knife
In butter
You entered my life
When I was dying
Like the moon
In the aperture
You got
Into my eyes
And so did I
Love you daily
Without any rules
Without a timetable
And so did you wake me
From every dream where
You were
And nobody searched for it
And nobody planned it this way
It was written
That you were mine
And nobody bet
That I would be so happy
But… Cupid pitied me
Like the rain
In plain desert
Did you moisten my heart with hope
Suffocate my fears
Like the sweet voice
In the silence
This is how love got to us
True love
And nobody bet
That I would be so happy
But… Cupid pitied me
