El Centro De Mi Corazon (Center Of My Heart)

"If ever there was a Chayanne song that meant more to me than any other,
this is it. The big kahuna. This was the first song I heard from
Chayanne. It is the song I fell in love with. The song that
introduced me to his magnificence and probably my ultimate favorite.
I know I say that about all my translations (LOL!),
but this one really is it.
If songs were men... this would be the one I'd marry :)


This song is also very important to me, because it describes the
way I felt when I met him on that beautiful June 23rd night in Toronto.
I came out of that room flying through the universe chasing his star.
It wasn't until I took my seat at the show that I felt my feet touch
ground again. I can't explain it to you in any other way than to tell
you that inexplicably this song was playing in the back of my head while
the entire thing happened. Maybe I am just a hopeless romantic who best
describes and interprets her emotions through his beautiful ballads... even if those emotions come from hugging him? *smile*


It is very poetic and much of the meaning might have gotten lost
in the translation but the gist of it is: The emotion felt when
you fall in love with the person of your dreams. How you feel like
flying through the skies and you always feel like you are in heaven
when you are together. But it's also about that moment that you
realize, "this is the one" because you simply have to let yourself
be taken by the love of that person who has managed to get through
to the deepest part of your soul and made a home there.


Now I'm just babbling. LOL!"




The Center of My Heart

My thoughts become cloudy when I envision you with me
Body to body in my arms
Occupying this space
All this love makes me travel the sky from end to end
My head spinning through your kisses

You, have broken down all my schemes
You’ve changed all my systems, tying me to your feelings

(Chorus) Your love has hit the center of my heart
The perfect target to my perdition
And just like lighting your skin fell upon me, and enamored me.

Next to you my feet are not touching the earth
I go around the universe chasing your star
The roads of love are now new with you
Take me from your hands to the promised Eden (paradise).

You, have broken down all my schemes
You’ve changed all my systems, tying me to your feelings

(Chorus) Your love has hit the center of my heart
The perfect target to my perdition
And just like lighting your skin fell upon me, and enamored me.
(2x)

SE ME NUBLA EL PENSAMIENTO DE VERTE CONMIGO
CUERPO A CUERPO EN MIS BRAZOS
OCUPANDO ESTE SITIO
TANTO AMOR ME HACE CRUZAR DE PUNTA A PUNTA EL CIELO
MI CABEZA VOLANDO A TRAVES DE TUS BESOS

TU HAS DERRIVADO LOS ESQUEMAS,
CAMBIASTE TODO MIS SISTEMAS ATANDOME A TU SENTIMIENTO

(CHORUS)
TU AMOR ME DIO EN EL CENTRO DE MI CORAZON
EL BLANCO MAS PERFECTO DE MI PERDICION
Y COMO UN RAYO TU PIEL CAYO EN MI Y ME ENAMORO

A TU LADO YO NO TENGO LOS PIES EN LA TIERRA
DOY VUELTAS AL UNIVERSO
PERSIGIENDO TU ESTRELLA
LOS CAMINOS DEL AMOR QUE NUEVOS SON CONTIGO
QUE DE TU MANO ME LLEVAN AL EDEN PROMETIDO

TU HAS DERRIVADO LOS ESQUEMAS
CAMBIASTE TODO MIS SISTEMAS ATANDOME A TUS SENTIMIENTOS

(CHORUS) REPEAT FADE

  1. Thanks for translation. I´m happy that my translation from spanish to czech was correct. I really love this song. I am hopeless romantic and I always have wild imagination when I´m listening to this song. It is in my top 3 with Tal vez es amor and Quisiera ser.

  2. Ok, I really had to think about which is my favorite Chayanne song. So many are so good in different situations and different times of the day. The very first song by Chayanne that I listened to was Baila Baila...and it remains a favorite. But my favorite slow jam would have to be Sin Palabras de Relleno. My favorite fast jam is Salome - I really enjoy video of him performing this song. He seems to really get into it!
