[English]

Uh, uh-uh, uh

...

Oh, oh-oh

There are times when

My soul dances tangos with loneliness

And I need your love to be my footing

To hold onto it during my storm

Thinking of you

I spend the day thinking of you

Teach me

To listen to your lips, to read the sun

Take me

To where dreams manufacture your voice

Thinking of you

I cradle my soul thinking of you, ah, ah-ah

...

Where are you?

I'm afraid, help me walk

For I can never find on my own

The way to be free, I want to wake up

Thinking of you

I put hatred to rest thinking of you (I spend the day thinking of you)

I spend the day thinking of you (I spend the day thinking of you)

I spend the day thinking of you

...

[Spanish]

Uh, uh-uh, uh

Oh, oh-oh

Hay veces que

Mi alma baila tangos con la soledad

Y necesito de tabla tu amor

Para asirme a ella en mi tempestad

Pensando en ti

Paso el día pensando en ti

Enséñame

A escuchar tus labios, a leer el sol

Llévame

A donde los sueños fabrican tu voz

Pensando en ti

Acuno mi alma pensando en ti, ah, ah-ah

¿Dónde estás?

Tengo miedo, ayúdame a caminar

Pues nunca solo yo podré encontrar

La forma de ser libre, quiero despertar

Pensando en ti

Duermo el odio pensando en ti (paso el día pensando en ti)

Me paso el día pensando en ti (paso el día pensando en ti)

Me paso el día pensando en ti
