Corria el año de 1947 y la cantante mexicana Chela Campos le pide al compositor cubano Osvaldo Farrés que componga una canción para ella. Farrés se niega, vacila, no se siente suficientemente motivado. Pero la mexicana no se da por vencida. Insiste. Vamos, Maestro, si con tres palabras se hace una canción, le dice, y Farrés acepta el reto. Compone la canción que Chela Campos le pide y la titula precisamente así: “Tres palabras”. Ya para entonces Farrés había entrado en Hollywood por la puerta ancha cuando en 1940 su bolero Acércate más fue el tema de una película que interpretaron Esther Williams y Van Johnson.
It was the year 1947 and the Mexican singer Chela Campos asked the Cuban composer Osvaldo Farrés to compose a song for her. Farrés refuses, hesitates, does not feel motivated enough. But the Mexican does not give up. He insists. Come on, Master, if a song is made with three words, he tells him, and Farrés accepts the challenge. He composes the song that Chela Campos asks of him and he titled it precisely like this: "Three words." By then, Farrés had entered Hollywood through the wide door when in 1940 his bolero Come closer was the subject of a film performed by Esther Williams and Van Johnson.
Oye la confesión de mi secreto
Nace de un corazón que está desierto
Con tres palabras te diré todas mis cosas
Cosas del corazón que son preciosas
Dame tus manos ven, toma las mías
Que te voy a confiar las ansias mías
Son tres palabras solamente mis angustias
Y esas palabras son cómo me gustas
Son tres palabras solamente mis angustias
Y esas palabras son cómo me gustas
Hear the confession of my secret
It is born from a heart that is deserted
With three words I will tell you all my things
Things of the heart that are precious
Give me your hands come take mine
That I am going to entrust you with my anxieties
There are three words only my anguish
And those words are how I like you
There are three words only my anguish
And those words are how I like you
