[English]

I arrived drunk on love

Like every night

You’ll want to kiss me and fill me with love

Without any reproach

My God, why does another face have the look,

the skin that drives me crazy

I wish I could be someone else, but I can’t

To be a love‑drunk

...

You are my life, you are my love

You are my everything

How sad I feel for not deciding

I love you in my own way

My God, why does another face have the look,

the skin that drives me crazy

I wish I could be someone else, but I can’t

To be a love‑drunk

...

You are my life, you are my love

You are my everything

How sad I feel for not deciding

I love you in my own way

My God, why does another face have the look,

the skin that drives me crazy

I wish I could be someone else, but I can’t

To be a love‑drunk

...

[Spanish]

Llegué borracho de amor

Como todas las noches

Tú querrás besarme y llenarme de amor

Sin ningún reproche

Dios mío por qué hay en otro rostro

La mirada, la piel que me vuelve loco

Quisiera ser otro y no poder tampoco

Ser un ebrio de amor

Tú eres mi vida, tú eres mi amor

Tú eres mi todo

Qué triste me siento por no decidir

Te quiero a mi modo

Dios mío por qué hay en otro rostro

La mirada, la piel que me vuelve loco

Quisiera ser otro y no poder tampoco

Ser un ebrio de amor

Tú eres mi vida tu eres mi amor

Tú eres mi todo

Qué triste me siento por no decidir

Te quiero a mi modo

Dios mío por qué hay en otro rostro

La mirada, la piel que me vuelve loco

Quisiera ser otro y no poder tampoco

Ser un ebrio de amor
