(Música)

It was a warm night

When I met you

And from that very moment

I fell in love with you

You made a great love

Bloom in the middle of my heart

A great love

For the both of us

You looked so beautiful

That I didn’t dare

To gaze at your lovely face

And your ruby lips

Your eyes were shining

Like the moon on the sea

Saying you loved me just the same

With all those beautiful things

That you know so well what you mean to me

You can be sure that all my affection

Is for you

It was a warm night

When I met you

And from that very moment

I fell in love with you

Your eyes were shining like the moon on the sea

Saying you loved me just the same
