That canary accent
I love the way you speak,
With an accent that's all your own.
How you roll your R's so beautifully,
with the soft lilt in your tone.
Your accent speaks of the sea and the sun,
Of the heavenly Canary Islands
the way you say "guagua" instead of "autobús",
And "papas" instead of "patatas"
Your accent is like music to my ears,
transcrib a melody that fills my heart.
So keep that accent as long as you whisper in my ears,
And let your words wash over me like the sea.
