[English]

I don't see colors or races

I love the warm glow of your face

I've looked for you every evening, my darling

You take my breath away, I feel it, baby

Your little steps are appearing on my path

Just because you look at me, I melt

The sunsets in your eyes, oh look

Even your anger, dear, holds a truth

I know you love me a little bit

With your sweet face resting on my shoulder

Listen to who's singing, it's the voice of my soul

My favorite person

Has such a pretty face

There's an angel in her smile

She has a heart, and I...

For my favorite person

I sing this little song

Like a toy, you're in my life

You play with my heart

You are like the sun, you shine without a reason (You shine without a reason)

Bringing light and calm

A single flower that I keep just for me

And your voice that disarms me

I know you love me a little bit

With your sweet face resting on my shoulder

Listen to who's singing, it's the voice of my soul (Lere le leire)

My favorite person

Has such a pretty face

There's an angel in her smile

She has a heart, and I...

For my favorite person

I sing this little song

Like a toy, you're in my life

You play with my heart

I know you love me a little bit

With your sweet face pressed against my shoulder

My favorite person

Has such a pretty face

There's an angel in her smile

She has a heart, and I...

For my favorite person

I sing this little song

Like a toy, you're in my life

You play with my heart

My favorite person

Has such a pretty face

There's an angel in her smile

She has a heart, and I...

For my favorite person

I sing this little song

Like a toy, you're in my life

You play with my heart

My favorite person (My favorite person)

Has such a pretty face (Has such a pretty face)

There's an angel in her smile (Aaaah)

She has a heart, and I...

For my favorite person

I sing this little song

Like a toy, you're in my life

You play with my heart

...

[Spanish]

Yo no entiendo de colores ni de razas

A mí me gusta el morenito de tu cara

Te he buscado en cada tarde, vida mía

Se me corta la respiración por ti, lo siento, baby

Tu pasito en mi camino va naciendo

Solo porque tú me miras yo me muero

Los atardeceres de tus ojos, mira

La verdad que tiene, niña, tus enojos

Yo sé que tú a mí me quieres un poco

Con tu carita posada en mi hombro

Mira quien canta, es la voz de mi alma

Mi persona favorita

Tiene la cara bonita

Tiene un ángel su sonrisa

Tiene un corazón y yo...

A mi persona favorita

Yo le canto esta cosita

De juguete, tú en mi vida

Juega con mi corazón

Eres como el sol, sales sin razón (Sales sin razón)

Dando luz y calma

Una sola flor que me guardo yo

Y tu voz que me desarma

Yo sé que tú a mí me quieres un poco

Con tu carita posada en mi hombro

Mira quien canta, es la voz de mi alma (Lere le leire)

Mi persona favorita

Tiene la cara bonita

Tiene un ángel su sonrisa

Tiene un corazón y yo...

A mi persona favorita

Yo le canto esta cosita

De juguete, tú en mi vida

Juega con mi corazón

Yo sé que tú a mí me quieres un poco

Con tu carita pegada en mi hombro

Mi persona favorita

Tiene la cara bonita

Tiene un ángel su sonrisa

Tiene un corazón y yo...

A mi persona favorita

Yo le canto esta cosita

De juguete, tú en mi vida

Juega con mi corazón

Mi persona favorita

Tiene la cara bonita

Tiene un ángel su sonrisa

Tiene un corazón y yo...

A mi persona favorita

Yo le canto esta cosita

De juguete, tú en mi vida

Juega con mi corazón

Mi persona favorita (Mi persona favorita)

Tiene la cara bonita (Tiene la cara bonita)

Tiene un ángel su sonrisa (Aaaah)
