[English]

Like the smell of freshly cut grass

Like the warmth of the sun's rays

Like bathing naked in salty water

Like the taste of lemon ice cream

Like the smell of coffee and toast

Like catching a train that is escaping

I was in love

Like a little girl with a crush

Like a Sunday in bed all morning

Like a walk along the flower promenade

Like whispering forbidden words

Like diving among colorful fish

Like the light of candles flickering

Like a string orchestra playing

I was in love

Like a little girl with a crush

I was truly in love

I didn't see the world around me

...

Like the light of candles flickering

Like a string orchestra playing

I was in love

Like a little girl with a crush

I was out of my mind, completely crazy

And I don't know how to say

You made me come alive

...

[Spanish]

Como el olor de la hierba recién cortada

Como el calor de los rayos del sol

Como bañarse desnuda en el agua salada

Como el sabor a helado de limón

Como el olor a café y tostadas

Como alcanzar un tren que se escapa

Estaba enamorada

Como una niña encaprichada

Como un domingo en la cama toda la mañana

Como un paseo en la rambla de las flores

Como decir a escondidas palabras prohibidas

Como bucear entre peces de colores

Como la luz de las velas temblando

Como una orquesta de cuerdas sonando

Estaba enamorada

Como una niña encaprichada

Estaba de verdad enamorada

No veía el mundo que me rodeaba

Como la luz de las velas temblando

Como una orquesta de cuerdas sonando

Estaba enamorada

Como una niña encaprichada

Estaba fuera de mí, completamente chalada

Y no sé como decir

Tú me has hecho revivir
