[English]

The warmth of your love

Gives me thirst, and where do I drink?

It's where I want to drink

And quench my thirst there

The color of your eyes

Is guessed among your hair and me

I desire you more than yesterday

And more than the first time

I don’t need to travel far

To find what I desire

If I stumble into your lap

That’s enough for me to touch the sky

...

The taste of your lips

That exclusive whim that

Only I can taste

While others get jealous

The softness of your embrace

Pure, faithful, eternal comfort

It’s my faith and religion

A guarantee of love

I don’t need to travel far

To find what I desire

If I stumble into your lap

That’s enough for me to touch the sky

Ooh-ooh-ooh

Na-ra-na-na-ra-na-ra-na

Na-ra-na-na-na-ra-ra

Da-ri-ru-ru-ra

De-de-de-de, and

I don’t need to travel far

To find what I desire

If I stumble into your lap

That’s enough for me to touch the sky

...

[Spanish]

El calor de tu amor

Me da sed y, ¿dónde bebo yo?

Es donde quiero beber

Y saciar allí mi sed

El color de tus ojos

Se adivina entre tu pelo y yo

Los deseo más que ayer

Y que la primera vez

No preciso viajar lejos

Para hallar lo que deseo

Si tropiezo en tu regazo

Ya me basta para tocar el cielo

El sabor de tus labios

Ese selecto capricho que

Sólo yo puedo probar

Y a chincharse los demás

El candor de tu abrazo

Puro, fiel, eterno alagador

Es mi fe y mi religión

Garantía del amor

No preciso viajar lejos

Para hallar lo que deseo

Si tropiezo en tu regazo

Ya me basta para tocar el cielo

Uoh-uoh-uoh

Na-ra-na-na-ra-na-ra-na

Na-ra-na-na-na-ra-ra

Da-ri-ru-ru-ra

De-de-de-de, y

No preciso viajar lejos

Para hallar lo que deseo

Si tropiezo en tu regazo

Ya me basta para tocar el cielo
