[English]

I feel things in my heart, but I can't share them all,

my friends ask me if there's a boy I like,

and I tell them no...

nooooo...

I have a dream, a hope, and a new thought,

that cheers me up and scares me, things I've never felt before.

They say it's love,

oh, oh love, oh, oh love,

you feel it, I feel it,

and if you don't feel what I feel, this will just be a dream,

it will be my dream of love.

Your dream of love, your dream, yes,

huuuuuuuuujuuuuuuu,

The whole song repeats once and then it's over,

uuuujuuuuuuuuu.

...

[Spanish]

Siento cosas en el corazon pero con todas yo no puedo,

mis amigas me preguntan si hay un chico que me gusta

y yo les digo que

noooooo...

Tengo un sueño una ilusion y un pensamiento nuevo

que me alegra, que me asusta que no senti nunca

me dicen que es el amor

hay hay amor hay hay amor

lo sientes tu lo siento yo

y si no sientes lo que yo siento esto sera como un sueño

sera mi sueño de amor

tu sueño de amor tu suño si

huuuuuuuuuujuuuuuuu

SE REPITE TODA LA CANCION UNA VEZ Y ACABA

uuuujuuuuuuuuu
