[English]

Ooh ooh ooh

Ooh ooh ooh

If it isn't you, who could it be?

Who will fill this love in me?

If you come back, it will revive

What I once could give

I want us to run like we used to do

As children, through that big garden, me and you

I want you to understand, my life

That the love I offer you, I offer only to you

If it isn't you, what's the point of living?

If it isn't with you, I won't be happy

If it isn't you, I'm going to suffer

Only with your love can I be happy

I want us to run like we used to do

As children, through that big garden, me and you

I want you to understand, my life

That the love I offer you, I offer only to you

If it isn't you, what's the point of living?

If it isn't with you, I won't be happy

If it isn't you, I'm going to suffer

Only with your love can I be happy

I can be happy

I can be happy

[Spanish]

Uuh uh uh

Uuh uh uh

Si no eres tú, ¿quién puede ser?

¿Quién va llenar este querer?

Si vuelves tú, renacerá

Lo que una vez te pude dar

Quiero que corramos como antes lo hacíamos

De chicos por aquel grande jardín

Quiero que comprendas, vida mía

Que el amor que yo te ofrezco, te lo ofrezco solo a ti

Si no eres tú, ¿para qué vivir?

Si no es contigo, no seré feliz

Si no eres tú, voy a sufrir

Solo con tu amor puedo ser feliz

Quiero que corramos como antes lo hacíamos

De chicos por aquel grande jardín

Quiero que comprendas, vida mía

Que el amor que yo te ofrezco, te lo ofrezco solo a ti

Si no eres tú, ¿para qué vivir?

Si no es contigo, no seré feliz

Si no eres tú, voy a sufrir

Solo con tu amor puedo ser feliz

Puedo ser feliz

Puedo ser feliz
