I'm counting on you

Someday you tremble with love

In my arms

I'm counting without counting

Neither your stumbles, nor all my failures

I'm counting that you and I

Let's count a ton of sunsets

I don't care if I'm indifferent to you

Or if you love me

You might think that I am

Crazy and completely lost

But I'm still counting

That one day your heart will tie with

this delusional heart

Where you live without rent

Because you are already my last love

Or rather

You are my boundless love

♪

I'm counting that you and I

Let's count a ton of sunsets

I don't care if I'm indifferent to you

Or if you love me

You may think, you may think that I am

Crazy and completely lost

But I'm still counting

That one day your heart will tie with

this delusional heart

Where you live without rent

Because you are already my last love

Or rather

You are my boundless love

Estoy contando con que tú

Un día tiembles de amor

Entre mis brazos

Estoy contando sin contar

Ni tus tropiezos, ni todos mis fracasos

Estoy contando que tú y yo

Contemos un montón de atardeceres

No tomo en cuenta si te soy indiferente

O si me quieres

Podrás pensar que estoy

Zafado y bien perdido de remate

Pero contando estoy

En que tu corazón un día se empate

Con este iluso corazón

Donde tú vives y sin renta

Porque eres ya mi último amor

O mejor dicho

Eres mi amor sin cuenta

Podrás pensar, podrás pensar que estoy

Zafado y bien perdido de remate

Pero contando estoy

En que tu corazón un día se empate

Con este iluso corazón

Donde Tú vives y sin renta

Porque eres ya mi último amor

O mejor dicho

Eres mi amor sin cuenta
