[English]

Immense,

the path I had to walk to reach your kiss.

Immense,

the path I had to walk to reach your kiss.

What you love is having me all to yourself.

And not talking to your friends, ’cause you worry if I’m with someone else.

What you love is having me all to yourself.

And not talking to your friends, ’cause you worry if I’m with someone else, that’s why, girl, look at me.

They say I’m fiery.

But I’ve got kisses, honey and cinnamon kisses just for you.

That’s why, girl, look at me.

They say I’m fiery.

But I’ve also got kisses, honey and cinnamon kisses just for you.

They say she’s stunning.

She struts and dances.

All the guys watch her wherever she goes.

You’re not saying anything.

You won’t look me in the eye, you leave without a word.

What am I supposed to do with my life if I love you and you’re mine?

Guilty of my soul.

What you love is having me all to yourself.

And not talking to your friends, ’cause you worry if I’m with someone else.

What you love is having me all to yourself.

And not talking to your friends, ’cause you worry if I’m with someone else, that’s why, girl, look at me.

They say I’m fiery.

But I’ve got kisses, honey and cinnamon kisses just for you.

That’s why, girl, look at me.

They say I’m fiery.

But I’ve also got kisses, honey and cinnamon kisses just for you.

Immense,

the path I had to walk to reach your kiss.

Dolores,

don’t scold me or cry for me.

Remember when I used to come and sing my song to you.

Dolores,

don’t scold me or cry for me.

Remember when I used to come and sing my song to you.

Slowly, hug me now.

You don’t know me, girl, look at me.

They say I’m fiery.

But I’ve got kisses, honey and cinnamon kisses just for you.

That’s why, girl, look at me.

They say I’m fiery.

But I’ve also got kisses, honey and cinnamon kisses just for you.
