[English]

I remember seeing you in profile

Forgive me if I wasn't subtle

It was summer and I was dying of thirst

When I saw you I just wanted to drink

Drink from you, from you, from you

Get drunk like this on you, hmm

There's no drink that tastes so good

Like your lips in Madrid

And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how I could convince you

And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, was it destiny or was it luck?

That being a stranger, I told you: "I love you

I've been looking for you for over a thousand years"

And you answered: "where are we going?"

Against all odds, here we stay

Living the party after the summer in which you answered

"Where are we going?"

And although the story was not planned

We are proof that love at first sight exists

I can't stop looking at you for a second

When you are there, the world disappears

I don't think better nights exist

And even if I ask for another beer, I'm only interested in

Drinking from you, from you, from you

Getting drunk like this on you

Because there's no drink that tastes so good (no, no)

Like your lips in Madrid

And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know how I could convince you (how I could convince you)

And I don't know, I don't know, I don't know, was it destiny or was it luck?

That being a stranger, I told you: "I love you

I've been looking for you for over a thousand years"

And you answered: "where are we going?"

Against all odds, here we stay

Living the party after the summer in which you answered (what?)

"Where are we going?"

And although the story was not planned

We are proof that love at first sight exists

(Eh!)

(Eh!)

(Eh!)

(Eh!)

(Eh!)

Today we are proof that two strangers

With some luck, for more than a thousand years, keep telling each other (what?)

"Where are we going?"

Against all odds, here we stay

Living the party after the summer in which you answered

"Where are we going?" (where are we going?)

And although the story was not planned (the story doesn't see)

And although people sometimes resist (people don't see)

We are proof that love at first sight exists

...

[Spanish]

Recuerdo verte de perfil

Perdona si no fui sutil

Era verano y yo moría de sed

Cuando te vi solo quise beber

Beber de ti, de ti, de ti

Emborracharme así de ti, hmm

No hay trago que sepa tan bien

Como tus labios en Madrid

Y no sé, no sé, no sé cómo pude convencerte

Y no sé, no sé, no sé, ¿fue el destino o fue la suerte?

Que siendo un extraño, te dije: "te amo

Te he estado buscando por más de mil años"

Y tú respondiste: "¿a dónde vamos?"

Contra las apuestas, aquí nos quedamos

Viviendo de fiesta después del verano en el que respondiste

"¿A dónde vamos?"

Y aunque la historia no estaba prevista

Somos la prueba de que existe amor a primera vista

No dejo de mirarte ni un segundo

Cuando tú estás desaparece el mundo

Mejores noches yo no creo que existan

Y aunque me pida otra cerveza, solo me interesa

Beber de ti, de ti, de ti

Emborracharme así de ti

Porque no hay trago que sepa tan bien (no, no)

Como tus labios en Madrid

Y no sé, no sé, no sé cómo pude convencerte (cómo pude convencerte)

Y no sé, no sé, no sé, ¿fue el destino o fue la suerte?

Que siendo un extraño, te dije: "te amo

Te he estado buscando por más de mil años"

Y tú respondiste: "¿a dónde vamos?"

Contra las apuestas, aquí nos quedamos

Viviendo de fiesta después del verano en el que respondiste (¿qué?)

"¿A dónde vamos?"

Y aunque la historia no estaba prevista

Somos la prueba de que existe amor a primera vista

(¡Eh!)

(¡Eh!)

(¡Eh!)

(¡Eh!)

(¡Eh!)

Hoy somos la prueba de que dos extraños

Con algo de suerte, por más de mil años, se siguen diciendo (¿qué?)

"¿A dónde vamos?"

Contra las apuestas, aquí nos quedamos

Viviendo de fiesta después del verano en el que respondiste

"¿A dónde vamos?" (¿a dónde vamos?)

Y aunque la historia no estaba prevista (la historia no ve)

Y aunque la gente a veces se resista (la gente no ve)

Somos la prueba de que existe amor a primera vista
