¡Ay, qué deseo! (translation, Oh, what desire!) was the Spanish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1996 in Oslo performed by Antonio Carbonell.

Composed and written by Antonio Carmona, Josemi Carmona and Juan Carmona (members of flamenco-pop band Ketama), the song is a moderately up-tempo number. Carbonell sings about a woman who he wanted to find "footprints under your feet" and be bound with her hair. It mainly features the beach scenario, with "coral seas" and "echoes of paradise". He desires her footprints of caramel and honey.

It qualified from the audio-only pre-qualifer in 14th place. In the final, it was performed 3rd following the United Kingdom and preceding Portugal. At the close of voting, it finished in 20th place with 17 points.

Quise buscar las huellas bajo tus pies I
Quise mirar al cielo y ser
Un horizonte de estrellas y mar
Y navegar por esos mares de coral
Buscaré allí donde mi sueños se hagan realidad
Atarme con tu pelo
 
(Ay, qué deseo) provoca tu piel
(Sigo tus huellas) de caramelo y miel
(Ay, qué deseo) provoca tu piel
(Sigo tus huellas) de caramelo y miel
 
(Entre la espuma ser) sal del ancho mar
(Hacer de tu mirar) ecos de un edén
(Entre la espuma ser) atarme en tu interior
Ecos del amor Echoes of love
Un verso y una flor, ay, un verso y una flor
 
(Ay, qué deseo) provoca tu piel
(Sigo tus huellas) de caramelo y miel
(Ay, qué deseo) provoca tu piel
(Sigo tus huellas) de caramelo y miel
 
Quise buscar las huellas bajo tus pies
Quise mirar al cielo y ser
Un horizonte de estrellas y mar
Y navegar por esos mares de coral
Buscaré allí donde mi sueños se hagan realidad
Atarme con tu pelo
 
(Ay, qué deseo) provoca tu piel
(Sigo tus huellas) de caramelo y miel
(Ay, qué deseo) provoca tu piel
(Sigo tus huellas) de caramelo y miel
 
(Ay, qué deseo) provoca tu piel
(Sigo tus huellas) de caramelo y miel
(Ay, que deséo,) oh, yeah, yeah

I wanted to find your footprints under your feet
I wanted to look at the sky and be
A horizon of stars and sea
And sail along those coral seas
I’ll search there where my dreams may come true
To be bound with your hair

(Oh, what desire) Causes your skin
(I follow your footprints) Of caramel and honey
(Oh, what desire) Causes your skin
(I follow your footprints) Of caramel and honey

(Among the foam to be) Salt in the wide sea
(Making of your look) Echoes of paradise
(Among the foam to be) Bound inside of you, echoes of love
A verse and a flower, oh, a verse and a flower

(Oh, what desire) Causes your skin
(I follow your footprints) Of caramel and honey
(Oh, what desire) Causes your skin
(I follow your footprints) Of caramel and honey

I wanted to find your footprints under your feet
I wanted to look at the sky and be
A horizon of stars and sea
And sail along those coral seas

I’ll search there where my dreams may come true
To be bound with your hair

Oh, what desire causes your skin
I follow your footprints of caramel and honey
(Oh, what desire) Causes your skin
(I follow your footprints) Of caramel and honey

(Oh, what desire) Causes your skin
(I follow your footprints) Of caramel and honey
(Oh, what desire) Oh, yeah, yeah
