The word candela itself means fire/hot/flame/candle, etc. It's not a
word commonly used in the Spanish/Castilian spoken in Mexico (I'm not sure
about Spain, although I believe they do use it!) It originated I think in
the Caribbean! In this song it actually takes the form of a woman.
Prepare yourself! This song should come with a warning!
"Beware: Contents Are Hot"!

CANDELA
CANDELA

Una noche de luna, a la orilla del mar
Es el lugar perfecto para conversar
Para decirte lo que estás provocando

Quiero robarte un beso y contarte mi amor
Es tan corta la vida y tan largo el dolor
Que el deseo de tenerte me está quemando

Y es que estoy 100 enamorado
Esclavo que tu piel
Y el roce de tus labios
Que nunca me han besado

Échale leña al fuego, candela
Que quiero ser la llama en tu hoguera
Échale la leña al fuego, candela
Y dame el cielo de tus caderas

Échale leña al fuego, candela
Déjame recorrerte entera
Échale leña al fuego, candela
Y después has de mi lo que quieras

No dejes que el temor haga blanco en tu piel
Dé regalarte un nuevo amanecer
Y ve nacer el sol en cada latido


Afiérrate a mi pecho, abrázame con fuerza
Siénteme despacio y ábreme las puertas
Que una vez cerró tu corazón herido

Porque voy a borrarte con mis manos el ayer
Y a amarte tanto y tanto
Como jamás te amaron

Échale leña al fuego, candela
Que quiero ser la llama en tu hoguera
Échale la leña al fuego, candela
Y dame el cielo de tus caderas

Échale leña al fuego, candela
Déjame recorrerte entera
Échale leña al fuego, candela
Y después has de mi lo que quieras


Quiero arder en la hoguera
de tus cabellos, candela,
que se derraman sobre mi
pecho, cual manantial de
tu entrega.

Échale leña al fuego, candela.


Échale leña al fuego de tus caderas.
Échale leña al fuego, candela,
que quiero bailar contigo
la noche entera.

Échale leña al fuego, candela.
Échale leña al fuego, candela.
Quémame con tu fuego, candela.
Échale leña al fuego, candela
Yo quiero bailar contigo....

Erika Ender - Donato Poveda

At night, with a full moon,
by the sea. It is the perfect place to talk.
To tell you what you are rousing in me.

I want to steal a kiss and
tell you about my love.
Life is short and the pain so long,
and the desire to have you
is consuming me.

And it's because I'm 100%
in love with you. I'm a slave
to your touch and oh, a graze
from those lips that have
never kissed me.

Keep the fire going, Candela,
that I want to be the flame
that maintains it.
Keep the fire going, Candela,
and give me the heaven of your hips.


Keep the fire going, Candela,
let me travel your body, entirely.
Keep the fire going, Candela,
and then do with me what you wish.

Don't let fear be a target on your skin.
Let me give you a new dawn and
watch the sun rise with every heartbeat.

Hold on to me, embrace me
with all your might.
Feel me slowly and open the
door that at one time was closed
by your wounded heart.

Because I will erase with my hands
your yesterday and love you
so much, so much,
like you've never been loved before.

Keep the fire going, Candela,
that I want to be the flame the
maintains it.
Keep the fire going, Candela,
and give me the heaven of your hips.


Keep the fire going, Candela,
let me travel your body, entirely.
Keep the fire going, Candela,
and then do with me what you wish.

I want to be consumed in the fire
of your hair, Candela, that spreads
itself on my chest; while enjoying
your surrender.

Keep the fire going, Candela.

Keep the fire going, put fire in your hips.
Keep the fire going, Candela,
that I want to dance the night
away with you.

Keep the fire going, Candela.
Burn me with your fire, Candela.
Keep the fire going, Candela,
I want to dance with you.
