[English]

Love in the air

That was born from the air

That lives in the air

I can't forget it, no, no, no!

Empty hours

Hours that have gone by

Make no sense

Without you by my side

And that's why I love you

More and more each day

When I’m next to you

What could matter to me?

I think of your words

I think of your silences

And of what love

Left between you and me

...

And that's why I love you

More and more each day

When I’m next to you

What could matter to me?

Love in the air

That was born from the air

That lives in the air

I can't forget it

Love in the air

Love in the air

Love, love!

...

[Spanish]

Amor en el aire

Que nació del aire

Que vive del aire

No puedo olvidarlo, ¡no, no, no!

Las horas vacías

Horas que se han ido

No tienen sentido

Sin verte a mi lado

Y por eso yo te quiero

Cada día más y más

Cuando esté yo junto a ti

¿Qué podrá importarme a mí?

Pienso en tus palabras

Pienso en tus silencios

Y en lo que el amor

Dejó entre tú y yo

Y por eso yo te quiero

Cada día más y más

Cuando esté yo junto a ti

¿Qué podrá importarme a mí?

Amor en el aire

Que nació del aire

Que vive del aire

No puedo olvidarlo

Amor en el aire

Amor en el aire

¡Amor, amor!
