Sylvia and Salvador: Music

Señora De Mis Madrugadas

(Sylvia & Salvador)
June, 2009
Music and Spanish Lyrics: Salvador Reyes, English translation: Sylvia Wagers
A very good friend of mine, separated now from his wife after years in an unhappy marriage, in the course of his wanderings here and there, met a young woman who stole his heart.  One day, he finally got up the courage to give her the key to his house and said to her "Surprise me whenever you want to..."
Señora de Mis Madrugadas
(Mistress of My Mornings)

For the longest time, I have lived without love
Without even the hope of ever loving again.
And then I found you, as though destiny itself had
Meant us for each other, unconditionally.

Mistress of my mornings
You arrive, and give yourself to me with profound love
I don't hear you, but I feel your presence as you
Glide across the floor.

And suddenly, you are in my arms,
Covering me with kisses.
I feel your warmth, your tenderness
You are the great adventure that was missing
In all my yesterdays.

Mistress of my mornings,
When you do not come, fear invades my very being.
I would surely die of anguish if you did not return 
And I could no longer have your kisses
Or feel your warmth.

I thought that I would never find someone like you,
So full of love
You fill my life and enrich my soul.

Mistress of my mornings
I shall love you always
Cover me with kisses
Cover me with your warmth.
