[English]

I have it carved into my chest

Every day that time

Did not let me stay here

I have a faith that matures

That walks with me and heals me

Since I met you

I have a lost footprint

Between your shadow and mine

That won’t let me lie

I’m a coin in the fountain

You, my pending desire

My longing to come alive

I have a constant morning

And a watercolor waiting

To see you painted blue

I have your love and your luck

And a steep little path

I have the sea on the other side

You are my north and my south

Today I will see you again

I will wrap myself in your clothes

Whisper to me in your silence

When you see me arrive

Today I will see you again

I will cheer up your sadness

Let’s throw a party

So this love can grow more

...

I have a phrase hanging

Between my mouth and my pillow

That strips me bare before you

I have a beach and a town

That keep me company at night

When you're not here with me

I have a constant morning

And a watercolor waiting

To see you painted blue

I have your love and your luck

And a steep little path

I have the sea on the other side

You are my north and my south

Today I will see you again

I will wrap myself in your clothes

Whisper to me in your silence

When you see me arrive

Today I will see you again

I will cheer up your sadness

Let’s throw a party

So this love can grow more

Today I will see you again

I will wrap myself in your clothes

Oh, when you see me arrive

Today I will see you again

I will cheer up your sadness

So this love (So this love can grow)

(Let’s throw a party)

(So this love can grow more)

Today I will see you again (Yes)

(I will cheer up your sadness)

(Let’s throw a party)

(So this love can grow more)

(Let’s throw a party)

(So this love can grow more) Ah-ah-ah-ah

So this love can grow more

So that, so that this love can grow more

...

[Spanish]

Tengo marcado en el pecho

Todos los días que el tiempo

No me dejó estar aquí

Tengo una fe que madura

Que va conmigo y me cura

Desde que te conocí

Tengo una huella perdida

Entre tu sombra y la mía

Que no me deja mentir

Soy una moneda en la fuente

Tú, mi deseo pendiente

Mis ganas de revivir

Tengo una mañana constante

Y una acuarela esperando

Verte pintado de azul

Tengo tu amor y tu suerte

Y un caminito empinado

Tengo el mar del otro lado

Tú eres mi norte y mi sur

Hoy voy a verte de nuevo

Voy a envolverme en tu ropa

Susúrrame en tu silencio

Cuando me veas llegar

Hoy voy a verte de nuevo

Voy a alegrar tu tristeza

Vamos a hacer una fiesta

Pa' que este amor crezca más

Tengo una frase colgada

Entre mi boca y mi almohada

Que me desnuda ante ti

Tengo una playa y un pueblo

Que me acompaña de noche

Cuando no está junto a ti

Tengo una mañana constante

Y una acuarela esperando

Verte pintado de azul

Yo tengo tu amor y tu suerte

Y un caminito empinado

Tengo el mar del otro lado

Tú eres mi norte y mi sur

Hoy voy a verte de nuevo

Voy a envolverme en tu ropa

Susúrrame en tu silencio

Cuando me veas llegar

Hoy voy a verte de nuevo

Voy a alegrar tu tristeza

Vamos a hacer una fiesta

Pa' que este amor crezca más

Hoy voy a verte de nuevo

Voy a envolverme en tu ropa

Ay, cuando me veas llegar

Hoy voy a verte de nuevo

Voy a alegrar tu tristeza

Pa' que este amor (Pa' que este amor crezca)

(Vamos a hacer una fiesta)

(Pa' que este amor crezca más)

Hoy voy a verte de nuevo (Sí)

(Voy a alegrar tu tristeza)

(Vamos a hacer una fiesta)

(Pa' que este amor crezca más)

(Vamos a hacer una fiesta)

(Pa' que este amor crezca más) Ah-ah-ah-ah

Pa' que este amor crezca más

Pa' que, pa' que este amor crezca más
