[English]
Uh, oh...
Eh, yeah!
Ih...
I don't know if one day I will change
But I know that for you I can try
I even surrendered and it was all at once
In a somewhat crazy gesture
Without thinking of reasons or whys
Love is like this
At least for me
It turns me inside out
I stumble, get up, and return to you
Love is like this
At least for me
It turns me inside out
I stumble, get up, and return to you
I don't lose hope
I wait for the calm
And in it, the same love advances
And time is a companion, a good partner
And it already knows our color
And the turns that although it draws and untangles
Takes us wherever it goes
It insists, persists, you don't know the end
But that's how it is, eh...
Love is like this
At least for me
It turns me inside out
I get up, stumble, and return to you (oh)
Love is like this
At least for me
It turns me inside out
I stumble, get up, and return to you (uh, uh...)
But is it really like this?
They say that love is like this (eh, oh, uh...)
There's time to discover (oh...)
But I only want your good (I want your good)
And that I be your good (that I be your good)
And that everything goes well for us (go well, go well)
I don't want to be without you...
Love is like this
At least for me
It turns me inside out
I stumble, get up, and return to you
Love is like this
At least for me
It turns me inside out
I stumble, get up, and return to you
Love is like this (oh, love is like this)
At least for me (at least for me)
It turns me inside out
I get up, stumble, and return to you (oh)
Love is like this (love is like this)
At least for me (at least for me)
I fall and get up, what's the surprise?
Love is like this
At least for me
I fall and get up, what's the surprise?
Love is like this
This is love
