I wish, I wish. And I wish, and I wish, and I wish.
I wish, I wish. Yeah, yeah-yeah.
My beautiful girl. Yeah.
There are no words to describe what you are.
I made a deal with God so you’ll stay with me for life.
If He’s going to give me life, it’s to spend it with you.
May your kisses be only for me.
And I wish, and I wish, and I wish.
May my children have your eyes, mommy, I wish.
And I wish, and I wish, and I wish.
Never again far from my sight, mommy, I wish. (Yaow)
May it last, I wish, may you like it, I wish.
May it come, I wish, may it be a baby, I wish.
May you stay with me for life, I wish.
May my mother-in-law love me and your mother love me.
I wish I have time, may God give me life, I wish.
To see you at night, during the day, and devour you at dawn.
Just you for me, just me for you, mommy, I don’t want anyone else.
You behave yourself, and I’ll be good, to see if it happens for us.
And I wish, and I wish, and I wish.
May my children have your eyes, mommy, I wish.
And I wish, and I wish, and I wish.
Never again far from my sight, mommy, I wish.
Who would have said this crazy guy with nothing would end up with everything?
You are the miracle I once prayed for.
You trust your crazy guy, I give you my life.
It’s no longer so much mine since the day I saw you.
This crazy guy with nothing ended up with everything.
You are the miracle I once prayed for.
You trust your crazy guy, I give you my life.
It’s no longer so much mine since the day I saw you.
And I wish, and I wish, and I wish.
May my children have your eyes, mommy, I wish.
And I wish, and I wish, and I wish.
Never again far from my sight, mommy, I wish.
Yeah, yeah, ah, yo, yo, oh, ah, ah, ah.
It’s the soul that sings.
It’s the soul that sings.
Tell me, Nanpa.
Yeah-yeah.
Oa, oa, Juan Duque.
We started making music yesterday.
And the dark-skinned guy, shout it out!
Tell me, Fede.
Dani Uribe.
