[English]

You are the end of my journey

The cove where my anxiety

Can finally let go of the baggage

And admiring your landscape

Begin to rest

You are now my final adventure

An oasis of tranquility

...

In the whirlwind of my madness

The answer to my questions

And my only truth

Loving you, my life is different

Loving you makes it easy to smile

I can only say

That living alongside you

I am as happy as a happy child

Loving you, my life is different

Loving you makes it easy to smile

...

I can only say

That living alongside you

I am as happy as a happy child

You hold my future in your hands

My past is nothing but a blur

Never has a feeling so profound

So beautiful, clean, and pure

Flooded my heart

Loving you, my life is different

Loving you makes it easy to smile

...

I can only say

That living alongside you

I am as happy as a happy child

Loving you, my life is different

Loving you makes it easy to smile

...

I can only say

That living alongside you

I am as happy as a happy child

Loving you, my life is different

...

[Spanish]

Eres el final de mi viaje

La ensenada donde mi ansiedad

Puede al fin soltar el equipaje

Y admirando tu paisaje

Empezar a descansar

Eres ya mi última aventura

Un oasis de tranquilidad

En el vendabal de mi locura

La respuesta a mis preguntas

Y mi única verdad

Amándote, mi vida es diferente

Amándote es fácil sonreír

Nada más puedo decir

Que viviendo junto a ti

Soy tan feliz como un niño feliz

Amándote, mi vida es diferente

Amándote es fácil sonreír

Nada más puedo decir

Que viviendo junto a ti

Soy tan feliz como un niño feliz

Tienes en tus manos mi futuro

Mi pasado no es más que un borrón

Nunca un sentimiento tan profundo

Tan hermoso limpio y puro

Inundó mi corazón

Amándote, mi vida es diferente

Amándote es fácil sonreír

Nada más puedo decir

Que viviendo junto a ti

Soy tan feliz como un niño feliz

Amándote, mi vida es diferente

Amándote es fácil sonreír

Nada más puedo decir

Que viviendo junto a ti

Soy tan feliz como un niño feliz

Amándote, mi vida es diferente
