Tengo una frase colgada entre mi boca y mi almohada que me desnuda ante tí.

I'll have a stab at the translation but it's not easy.. sorry if I don't manage to capture it.

Lit: I have a phrase suspended between my mouth and my pillow which undresses me before you.

I am saving some special words to say to you when we are together (assuming in bed..) which bare my feelings for you.

Borrowed from Hoy by Gloria Estefan.link text

Translation suggestions will be greatly appreciated.smile
