[English]

With you in the morning upon waking

I feel that I love you a little more

And I see that you bring me happiness

The little things that you give me

With you I feel like dreaming

And making an entire world our home

With you only and nothing more

And always every day without end

With you when the sun is about to set

To kiss your lips almost without wanting to

So close to your skin is my skin

And we are part of the sunset

With you every night, you and I

With your hair, with your skin, your voice

With all your presence around

I give you only love with my senses

With you in the morning upon waking

I feel that I love you a little more

And I see that you bring me happiness

The little things that you give me

With you I feel like dreaming

And making an entire world our home

With you only and nothing more

And always every day without end

...

So close to your skin is my skin

And we are part of the sunset

With you every night, you and I

With your hair, with your skin, your voice

With all your presence around

I give you only love with my senses

...

[Spanish]

Contigo en la mañana al despertar

Yo siento que te quiero un poco más

Y veo que me dan felicidad

Las cosas tan pequeñas que me das

Contigo tengo ganas de soñar

Y hacer un mundo entero nuestro hogar

Contigo solamente y nada más

Y siempre cada día sin final

Contigo cuando el sol se va a poner

Besar tus labios casi sin querer

Tan cerca de tu piel está mi piel

Y somos parte del atardecer

Contigo cada noche tú y yo

Con tu cabello, con tu piel, tu voz

Con toda tu presencia alrededor

Te doy con mis sentidos solo amor

Contigo en la mañana al despertar

Yo siento que te quiero un poco más

Y veo que me dan felicidad

Las cosas tan pequeñas que me das

Contigo tengo ganas de soñar

Y hacer de un mundo entero nuestro hogar

Contigo solamente y nada más

Y siempre cada día sin final

Tan cerca de tu piel está mi piel

Y somos parte del atardecer

Contigo cada noche tú y yo

Con tu cabello, con tu piel, tu voz

Con toda tu presencia alrededor

Te doy con mis sentidos solo amor
