[English]

Thank you

I give you thanks

For anchoring me in your chest

For opening your bed to me

For your love and my love

Thank you

I give you thanks

For making me feel so young

For finding affection

In your love and my love

I never believed

That there could be so much joy for me

I always thought

That love would never return to me

Like a flower

That awakened with the caress of the dew

I awakened

When I felt your warm body next to mine

From the heart

Thank you, woman

For the courage of your love

And with my life from today

I give you thanks, for your love

Thank you

I give you thanks

For making me feel so young

For finding affection

In your love and my love

I never believed

That there could be so much joy for me

I always thought

That love would never return to me

Like a flower

That awakened with the caress of the dew

I awakened

When I felt your warm body next to mine

From the heart

Thank you, woman

For the courage of your love

And with my life from today

I give you thanks, for your love

Thank you

Thank you

Thank you

Gracias

Yo te doy las gracias

Por anclarme en tú pecho

Por abrirme tú lecho

Por tú amor y mi amor

Gracias

Yo te doy las gracias

Por sentirme tan niño

Por hallar el cariño

En tú amor y mí amor

Nunca creí

Que para mí pudiera haber tanta alegría

Siempre pensé

Que el amor a mí jamás regresaría

Como una flor

Que despertó con la caricia del rocío

Yo desperté

Cuando sentí tu tibio cuerpo junto al mío

De corazón

Gracias mujer

Por el valor de tú querer

Y con mi vida desde hoy

Te doy las gracias, por tú amor

Gracias

Yo te doy las gracias

Por sentirme tan niño

Por hallar el cariño

En tú amor y mí amor

Nunca creí

Que para mí pudiera haber tanta alegría

Siempre pensé

Que el amor a mí jamás regresaría

Como una flor

Que despertó con la caricia del rocío

Yo desperté

Cuando sentí tu tibio cuerpo junto al mío

De corazón

Gracias mujer

Por el valor de tú querer

Y con mi vida desde hoy

Te doy las gracias, por tú amor

Gracias
