[English]

You are my sunshine

You are my moonlight

You are my angel

You make me feel alright

When I am lonely

You come and hold me

You're like the rainbow

Colourful reasons why

I love you uh-uh-uh-uh

I-I-I-I-I-I I do

I love you uh-uh-uh-uh

I-I-I-I-I-I I do

No sé qué decir

A veces no hay explicaciones

Yo te extraño en Barranquilla

Y tú me piensas en Londres

Lo que sentimos, nos hace fuertes

Más que el orgullo, más que la muerte

Por ti, mi invierno fue primavera

Llegaste para cambiar mi suerte

I love you uh-uh-uh-uh

Porque soy mejor cuando estás tú

Uh, I love you uh-uh-uh-uh

I-I-I-I-I-I I do

Yeah

Just in case I don't tell you enough

Just in case I don't show you enough

This song is to let you how much I love you

The things in this world will fade

But my love for you

Will forever remain

I love, love you uh-uh-uh-uh

Porque soy mejor cuando estás tú

I love you uh-uh-uh-uh

I-I-I-I-I-I I do

Like, I really, really love you

You know I do
