[English]
Tomorrow is not guaranteed for anybody
And the present disappears in a second
Let's pretend it's the last kiss
I see time passing and I can't accept
That I didn't give myself to you in every second of mine
Today I give you the light that lives in my chest
We only have one life to learn
That in the end, only those who no longer have it desire
I don't know if tomorrow you'll be here for me
Or if I will be here for you
Today I give you everything, everything
As if I were about to lose you
I don't know if tomorrow you'll be here for me
Or if I will be here for you
Today I give you everything, everything
As if I were about to lose you
Today I know that perfect love doesn't exist
But with you I feel like I already have everything
I look at you, I see the first kiss
It's just that I can't lose you
Without telling you first
That you are everything I want
To be able to live
And I don't need anything else, nothing, nothing
That's why I'll give you everything, everything, everything
We only have one life to learn
That only those who care about you miss you
I don't know if tomorrow you'll be here for me
Or if I will be here for you
Today I give you everything, everything
As if I were about to lose you
I don't know if tomorrow you'll be here for me
Or if I will be here for you
Today I give you everything, everything
As if I were about to lose you
All, all, all
As if I were about to lose you
All, all, all
As if I were about to lose you
