[English]

It's the wind

That speaks to you

That caresses your heart

It's the wind

That kisses you

It's the wind, that's who I am

If I’m not right next to you

But you feel

That your hands are being kissed

If I’m not right next to you

But you feel

That someone is kissing your lips

If you hear my voice

My words of love

And I’m not by your side

Don’t be afraid, my love

I’m going to explain

Don’t be afraid, my love

It's the wind

That speaks to you

That caresses your heart

It's the wind

That kisses you

It's the wind, that's who I am

If I’m not right next to you

But you feel

The warmth of someone's arms

If I’m not right next to you

But you feel

What you feel when loving

And if one day

You wake up and see

That someone is watching over you

Don’t be afraid, my love

I’m going to explain

Don’t be afraid, my love

It's the wind

That speaks to you

That caresses your heart

It's the wind

That kisses you

It's the wind, that's who I am

La, ra, la, la, la, ra, la, ra

Umm, ummm, ummmm, ummmm

It's the wind

That kisses you

It's the wind, that's who I am

...

[Spanish]

Es el viento

Que te habla

Que acaricia tu corazón

Es el viento

Que te besa

Es el viento que soy yo.

Si no estoy junto a ti

Pero crees sentir

Que acarician tus manos

Si no estoy junto a ti

Pero crees sentir

Que alguien besa tus labios

Si tú escuchas mi voz

Mis palabras de amor

Y no estoy a tu lado

No te asustes mi amor

Te lo voy a explicar

No te asustes mi amor.

Es el viento

Que te habla

Que acaricia tu corazón

Es el viento

Que te besa

Es el viento que soy yo.

Si no estoy junto a ti

Pero crees sentir

El calor de unos brazos

Si no estoy junto a ti

Pero crees sentir

Lo que sientes amando

Y si tu alguna vez

Te despiertas y ves

Que alguien vela a tu lado

No te asustes mi amor

Te lo voy a explicar

No te asustes mi amor.

Es el viento

Que te habla

Que acaricia tu corazón

Es el viento

Que te besa

Es el viento que soy yo.

La, ra, la, la, la, ra, la, ra

Umm, ummm, ummmm, ummmm

Es el viento

Que te besa

Es el viento que soy yo.
