Background
I was first introduced to Mijares in ninth grade Spanish class (1994-95) with the song Bonita. Profesor Bruno had this exercise of giving us a song, a list of words, and the blanks to put them in. Listening to the song, we had to figure out where all the words went as a listening comprehension exercise. This is one of his newer songs.

Lyrics

Que podre decirte En el corto tiempo En que se vive una ilusión Que podre dejarte Tan pegado al alma Que se quede ahí en tu corazón Yo no pretende enseñarte Lo que es el mundo me falta también Pero vale la pena Disfutar cada dia Porque me haz regalado El privilegio de amarte Di lo que sientas Haz lo que piensas Da lo que tengas Y no te arrepientas Y si no llega lo que esperabas No te conformes Jamas te detengas Pero sobre todas las cosas Nunca te olvides de Dios Seras del tamaño de tus pensamientos No te permitas fracazar Lo mas importante Son los sentimientos Y lo que no puedes comprar Y cuando llegue el momento En que tu sola quisieras volar Aunque no estemos juntos Estaran los recuerdos Que con solo quererlo Volveras a vivirlos Di lo que sientas Haz lo que piensas Da lo que tengas Y no te arrepientas No te limites por lo que digas Se lo que quieras Pero se tu misma Y si no llega lo que esperabas No te conformes Jamas te detengas Pero sobre todas las cosas Nunca te olvides de Dios Pero sobre todas las cosas Como te quiero mi amor

To have to tell you In the short time In which an illusion is lived To have to leave you, The soul so beaten That I'll stay here in your heart I won't pretend to teach you It's that I need the world, as well But it's worth all the pain The everyday struggle Because you have given me The privilege of loving you. Tell me what you feel Do what you intend Give what you have And don't you regret And if what you hope for doesn't come, Don't conform Never give up But above all things Never forget God You will be the size of your thoughts Don't let yourself fail The most important Are the feelings And the things you don't need to buy. And when the moment arrives In which you want to fly alone, Even if we are not together There will always be the memories That alone, wanting, You'll return to live them. Tell me what you feel Do what you intend Give what you have And don't you regret Don't limit yourself by what you say Be who you want to be But know yourself And if what you hope for doesn't come, Don't conform Never give up But above all things Never forget God But above all those other things How much I love you, my love.
