[English]

Let them find out

How much I love you

And how much you love me

Let them look at us

When you fall in love

Don't complain

Let my soul shine

Tell me what I should do

What do I do with you?

Don't make me sad

I'm begging you, for my life

Truly, I'm not afraid

But now is when I want

For you to let me look at you

And kiss you, if I can

You are a necessity

And with just a couple of kisses

You can melt my fire

You can set my sea on fire

If you don't give me a kiss now

Your kiss will vanish with the wind

And how do I say I'm sorry

To this body that wants to love

You are the most beautiful coincidence

That heaven brought me

Who said I am awake

If I can't stop dreaming

If you don't give me a kiss now

Your kiss will vanish with the wind

And how do I say I'm sorry

To this body that wants to love

La-la lara La-la-la-ra

...

Let me kiss you

Let me kiss you

Let me try

Let me invite you

To fall in love with this night

A night here among thousands

I have fallen in love

Never forget it

It hasn't been easy

Because I'm captivated by your features

You have trapped me

Don't get too confident

Let me kiss you

Promise you

And let me forget you

You are a necessity

And with just a couple of kisses

You can melt my fire

You can set my sea on fire

If you don't give me a kiss now

Your kiss will vanish with the wind

And how do I say I'm sorry

To this body that wants to love

You are the most beautiful coincidence

That heaven brought me

Who said I am awake

If I can't stop dreaming

If you don't give me a kiss now

Your kiss will vanish with the wind

And how do I say I'm sorry

To this body that wants to love

La-la lara La-la-la-ra

...

That wants to love

La-la lara La-la-la-ra (That wants to love, that wants to love)

...

[Spanish]

Deja que se enteren

Cómo yo te quiero

Y cómo tú me quieres

Deja que nos miren

Cuando te enamores

No te quejes

Deja que mi alma brille

Dime qué hago

Qué hago contigo

No me des pena

Por mi vida te lo pido

De verdad no tengo miedo

Pero ahora es cuando quiero

Que me dejes que te mire

Y que te bese, si es que puedo

Tú eres una necesidad

Y sólo con un par de besos

Tú puedes derretir mi fuego

Puedes incendiar mi mar

Si no me das un beso ya

Tu boca se la lleva el viento

Y cómo le digo lo siento

A este cuerpo que quiere amar

Tú eres la casualidad

Más hermosa que me trajo el cielo

Quién dijo que yo estoy despierto

Si no paro de soñar

Si no me das un beso ya

Tu boca se la lleva el viento

Y cómo le digo lo siento

A este cuerpo que quiere amar

La-la lara La-la-la-ra

Deja que te bese

Deja que te bese

Deja que lo intente

Deja que te invite

A que te enamores de esta noche

Una noche aquí entre miles

Me he enamorado

Nunca lo olvides

No ha sido fácil

Porque muero en tus perfiles

Me has atrapado

No te confíes

Deja que te bese

Te prometa

Y deja que te olvide

Tú eres una necesidad

Y sólo con un par de besos

Tu puedes derretir mi fuego

Puedes incendiar mi mar

Si no me das un beso ya

Tu boca se la lleva el viento

Y cómo le digo lo siento

A este cuerpo que quiere amar

Tú eres la casualidad

Más hermosa que me trajo el cielo

Quién dijo que yo estoy despierto

Si no paro de soñar

Si no me das un beso ya

Tu boca se la lleva el viento

Y cómo le digo lo siento

A este cuerpo que quiere amar

La-la lara La-la-la-ra

Que quiere amar

La-la lara La-la-la-ra (Que quiere amar, que quiere amar)
