[English]

I have to confess that sometimes

I don't like the way you are

Then you disappear on me

And I don't understand very well why

You don't say anything romantic

When the sunset arrives

You get into a strange mood

With every full moon of the month

But against all the rest

The good things you give me win out

Just having you close

I feel like I'm starting over

I love you with lemon and salt

I love you just the way you are

There's no need to change a thing about you

I love you whether you come or go

If you go up and down, if you aren't

Sure of what you feel

I have to confess to you now

I never believed in happiness

Sometimes something looks a bit like it

But it's pure coincidence

Then I happen to run

Into your eyes, and they give me something more

Just having you close

I feel like I'm starting over

I love you with lemon and salt

I love you just the way you are

There's no need to change a thing about you

I love you whether you come or go

If you go up and down, if you aren't

Sure of what you feel

I love you with lemon and salt

I love you just the way you are

There's no need to change a thing about you

I love you whether you come or go

If you go up and down, if you aren't

Sure of what you feel

Just having you close

I feel like I'm starting over

[Spanish]

Tengo que confesar que a veces

No me gusta tu forma de ser

Luego te me desapareces

Y no entiendo muy bien por qué

No dices nada romántico

Cuando llega el atardecer

Te pones de un humor extraño

Con cada luna llena al mes

Pero a todo lo demás

Le gana lo bueno que me das

Solo tenerte cerca

Siento que vuelvo a empezar

Yo te quiero con limón y sal

Yo te quiero tal y como estás

No hace falta cambiarte nada

Yo te quiero si vienes o si vas

Si subes y bajas, si no estás

Seguro de lo que sientes

Tengo que confesarte ahora

Nunca creí en la felicidad

A veces algo se le parece

Pero es pura casualidad

Luego me vengo a encontrar

Con tus ojos me dan algo más

Solo tenerte cerca

Siento que vuelvo a empezar

Yo te quiero con limón y sal

Yo te quiero tal y como estás

No hace falta cambiarte nada

Yo te quiero si vienes o si vas

Si subes y bajas, si no estás

Seguro de lo que sientes

Yo te quiero con limón y sal

Yo te quiero tal y como estás

No hace falta cambiarte nada

Yo te quiero si vienes o si vas

Si subes y bajas, si no estás

Seguro de lo que sientes

Solo tenerte cerca

Siento que vuelvo a empezar
