[English]

I need you to tell me that you love me

I need you to come and get me

Because I want to know if your love is real

If you look into my eyes, you will say it

I need the answer that you owe me

Before asking God for your freedom

Because if you lose your faith, what can I expect?

If this love is forever or will it die someday

To know if it's love, you would have to give up - your faith in God

To gain your freedom

To know if it's love, it would be better to start

To open my heart to you and let you in

I need the answer that you owe me

Before asking God for your freedom

Because if you lose your faith, what can I expect?

If this love is forever or will it die someday

To know if it's love, you would have to give up - your faith in God

To gain your freedom

To know if it's love, it would be better to start

To open my heart to you

And let you in.

[Spanish]

Necesito que me digas que me quieres

Necesito que me vengas a buscar

Porque yo quiero saber si tu amor es verdad

Si me miras a los ojos, lo dirás

Necesito la respuesta que me debes

Antes de pedirle a Dios tu libertad

Porque si pierdes tu fe que podré yo esperar

Si este amor es para siempre o algún día morirá

Para saber si es amor tendrías que renunciar, a tu fe a Dios

Por ganar tu libertad

Para saber si es amor será mejor empezar

A abrirte mi corazón y dejarte entrar

Necesito la respuesta que me debes

Antes de pedirle a Dios tu libertad

Porque si pierdes tu fe que podré yo esperar

Si este amor es para siempre o algún día morirá

Para saber si es amor tendrías que renunciar, a tu fe a Dios

Por ganar tu libertad

Para saber si es amor será mejor empezar

A abrirte mi corazón

Y dejarte entrar.
