Your Opinion: English vs. Spanish
In general, I think the Spanish language is so much more musical and beautiful than English.
That being said, I have come across words as I've been learning, that to me, sound "prettier" in English.
I thought it would be interesting to see what others thought. In the process, we will hopefully learn some new vocabulary. 
For example, as I mentioned in the Drop one/take one thread, I prefer the English word velvet over the Spanish word terciopelo.
Simply list one vocabulary word per post and state whether you prefer the English version or the Spanish. The idea is to compare individual words within each language, rather than the languages themselves.
I think this will work better if we make the two words bold. Feel free to add pictures if you like.

I prefer la primavera to spring.
I prefer mariposa to butterfly
I prefer Spanish only for one reason, there aren't the terrifying PHRASAL VERBS 
Respecto a la palabra me quedo con una que tiene la Ñ ( buque insignia de lengua castellana!! )
Compañerismo - Companionship
I prefer "to help" to "ayudar"
and "enough" to "suficiente"
labios - lips
I actually have to go with English on this one. Feel free to disagree. 
La experiencia sounds more beautiful in Spanish than in English experience because the sounds /phonemes in this Spanish word sound more gentle and lyrical especially when spoken with the soft th sound used in Spain used to pronounce the English c
I have forgotten what the exact term is to describe the way the Spanish in mainland Spain pronounce the c with a th sound Perhaps someone would be kind enough to remind me. 
I LOVE cocodrilo -the Spanish for crocodile
But I must say, I take a crocodile more seriously than a cocodrilo.
I prefer sangre to blood.
Perhaps because I have read too many mystery or crime novels depicting blood as something widely associated with crime or murder.
But the first mention of 'sangre' happened to me while reading a patriotic plaque at some historical monument in a Spanish speaking country.
Same word, different context brings about different feelings towards it.
Edit: Oops! Glaring error! It should be 'prefer A to B', elementary English grammar mistake.
At times, I have heard that French is the language of love and other times that Spanish is the language of love, I have never head this said about English however there are beautiful romantic ways to phrase things in English. I think as much and more so when compared to other languages. There famous English poets to back it up. Allot of people see other languages as more beautiful not because they understand them but because they are different. There are allot of things I find beautiful about the Spanish language, but I find English to be more elegant and in many ways more descriptive.
I can't say I really prefer either. Poetry in English can be so beautiful it can bring tears to your eyes and Spanish can be soft and almost musical.
As ElBúho says they are so different it isn't really possible to say which I prefer. I am pleased I have been studying Spanish though as it has also made me look more closely at English.
I have a soft spot for diminuatives in Spanish.
Who couldn't adore "pajarillo" or "gatito", instead of birdie or kitty?
I prefer corazón probably for the same reason I agree with sangre over blood. Listening to all the love songs. Also, with my recent health issue, I've been associating the heart with illness, but corazón still belongs to lovers.
Adelante = forward
The adelante is more musical word. Apart from that, I have a soft spot for the adelante i.e. that was the first spanish word for me.
i prefer recepcionista to receptionist
I prefer the English word "bubble" over the Spanish word"burbuja"
