Lyrics & Translation

[English]

You’ll remember my home, my love

And you’ll come running to call

You’ll come to escape the noise, my love

And I’ll give you silence

You’ll let me take care of you

Like a humble servant

And give you shelter and love

And a place by my fire

And a sweet look

A caress

A kiss

Because love, as they say, is love

Love, as they say, is love

Love, as they say, is love

It’s pretty much that, and nothing more

And when you have bread from my bread

And salt from my salt shaker

You’ll feel comfortable, my love

And you’ll tell me you love me

And when you want to leave, my love

I’ll warm you up first

And I’ll give you my key, my love

And light on your path

And a gentle look

A caress

A kiss

Because love, as they say, is love

Love, as they say, is love

Love, as they say, is love

It’s pretty much that, and nothing more

[Spanish]

Recordarás mi casa amor

Y llamarás corriendo

Vendrás a huir del ruido amor

Y te daré silencio

Me dejarás que cuide de ti

Como a un pequeño siervo

Y que te de cobijo y amor

Y un sitio en mi brasero

Y una mirada dulce

Una caricia

Un beso

Porque amor lo que se dice amor

Amor lo que se dice amor

Amor lo que se dice amor

Es poco más o menos eso

Y cuando tengas pan de mi pan

Y sal de mi salero

Te sentirás agusto amor

Y me dirás te quiero

Y cuando quieras irte amor

Te abrigaré primero

Y te daré mi llave amor

Y luz en el sendero

Y una mirada suave

Una caricia

Un beso

Porque amor lo que se dice amor

Amor lo que se dice amor

Amor lo que se dice amor

Es poco más o menos eso
