[English]

I feel a thousand kisses from your lips on mine

And a crazy longing to see your face, to feel the touch of your hair

And let the rain invite us to love

What a feeling, what madness, my love

And this old heart that waits for you night and day

Because you always bring it your joys

And this old heart that waits for you night and day

Because you always bring it

Because you always bring it... your joys

Love, love, love me

...

I feel your gaze on me, driving me crazy

A passion that torments me

That sickens me, that kills me

And I can’t cry anymore for your love

What a feeling, what madness, my love

And this old heart that waits for you night and day

Because you always bring it your joys

And this old heart that waits for you night and day

Because you always bring it

Because you always bring it... your joys

Love, love, love me

Love, love, love me

...

[Spanish]

Siento mil besos de tu boca en mi boca

Y un loco afán de ver tu cara, sentir el roce de tu pelo

Y que la lluvia nos invite al amor

Que sensación, que locura, amor mío

Y este viejo corazón que te espera noche y día

Porque siempre tú le llevas tus alegrías

Y este viejo corazón que te espera noche y día

Porque siempre tú le llevas

Porque siempre tú le llevas... tus alegrías

Amor, amor, ámame

Siento sobre mi tu mirada que me enloquece

Una pasión que me atormenta

Que me enferma, que me mata

Y ya no puedo más llorar por tu amor

Que sensación, que locura, amor mío

Y este viejo corazón que te espera noche y día

Porque siempre tú le llevas tus alegrías

Y este viejo corazón que te espera noche y día

Porque siempre tú le llevas

Porque siempre tú le llevas... tus alegrías

Amor, amor, ámame

Amor, amor, ámame
