“Piel Canela” by Eydie Gorme y Los Panchos, English translation of lyrics

“Cinnamon Skin”
Style: Romantic bolero. This is a popular oldies song. You might have seen it in commercials or heard the tune in elevators. I think it’s on the Nacho Libre soundtrack. This song is passed around a lot.
Country: United States (New York), Mexico
Listen: YouTube

Translation:

O que pierda el ancho mar su inmensidad,
Pero el negro (alt. el brillo) de tus ojos que no muera,
Y el canela de tu piel se quede igual.

Or may the wide sea lose its immenseness,
But may the blackness (alt. the glimmer) of your eyes never die,
And may the cinnamon of your skin stay the same.
