[English]

Only you

Managed to become in my life

The love

I had dreamed of so many times

Only you

Managed to heal the wound

That was left

By another love’s story

For I suffered

Like no one has ever suffered

I walked

Without finding any affection

But I found you

And I could be happy with you

For with your caresses

You made me feel alive

And now I’m happy

Feeling you with me

There’s not even a memory

Of my cruel suffering

For I suffered

Like no one has ever suffered

I walked

Without finding any affection

But I found you

And I could be happy with you

For with your caresses

You made me feel alive

...

And now I’m happy

Feeling you with me

There’s not even a memory

Of my cruel suffering

There’s not even a memory

Of my cruel suffering

[Spanish]

Solo tú

Lograste ser en mi vida

El amor

Que tantas veces soñé

Solo tú

Lograste cerrar la herida

Que dejó

La historia de otro querer

Pues sufrí

Como nadie ha sufrido

Caminé

Sin hallar un cariño

Mas te encontré

Y pude ser feliz contigo

Pues con tus caricias

Me hiciste vibrar

Y ahora soy feliz

Sintiéndote conmigo

No queda ni el recuerdo

De mi cruel sufrir

Pues sufrí

Como nadie ha sufrido

Caminé

Sin hallar un cariño

Mas te encontré

Y pude ser feliz contigo

Pues con tus caricias

Me hiciste vibrar

Y ahora soy feliz

Sintiéndote conmigo

No queda ni el recuerdo

De mi cruel sufrir

No queda ni el recuerdo

De mi cruel sufrir
