[English]

How I wish today

it were tomorrow

To be in your arms once again

How you love me today

may it be tomorrow

And live again

just like yesterday

I want to make you feel the week

Those sweet mornings with love

And when starting the new day again

To find happiness by your side

How I wish today

it were tomorrow

To be able to live with your love

And find in the roses your beauty

Without pride, just as it is

How I wish today

it were tomorrow

To be in your arms once again

How you smile today

smile tomorrow

When the dawn is beginning to break

We leave far behind in oblivion

The bitter experiences of yesterday

We confuse time in an instant

Beginning to live our love

How I wish today

it were tomorrow

To be able to live with your love

And find in the roses your beauty

Without pride, just as it is

Without pride, just as it is

just as it is

[Spanish]

Como deseo hoy

que sea mañana

Para estar en tus brazos otra vez

Como me quieres hoy

que sea mañana

Y volver a vivir

igual que ayer

Quiero hacerte sentir de la semana

Esas dulces mañanas con amor

Y al volver a empezar el nuevo día

Encontrar junto a ti felicidad

Como deseo hoy

que sea mañana

Para poder vivir con tu querer

Y encontrar en las rosas tu belleza

Sin altivez, tal como es

Como deseo hoy

que sea mañana

Para estar en tus brazos otra vez

Como sonríes hoy

sonríe mañana

Cuando este comenzando a amanecer

Dejamos muy atrás en el olvido

Amargas experiencias del ayer

Confundimos el tiempo en un instante

Comenzando a vivir nuestro querer

Como deseo hoy

que sea mañana

Para poder vivir con tu querer

Y encontrar en las rosas tu belleza

Sin altivez, tal como es

Sin altivez, tal como es

tal como es
