[English]

Today I ask my dreams to take off your clothes

To turn into kisses

All my attempts to bite your mouth

And although I understand that you

You always have the last word in this thing called love

And today I ask your guardian angel to share

To give me courage and daring in the battle to win it

And it's just that I don't want to pass through your life like fads

Don't be scared, Miss, nobody has talked to you about marriage

I just want to be the four legs of your bed

Your war every night, your truce every morning

I want to be your medicine, your silences and your screams

Your thief, your policeman, your garden with gnomes

I want to be the broom that sweeps sadness from your life

I want to be your uncertainty and above all your certainty

Today I ask the moon to lengthen this night for me

And to strongly illuminate this feeling

And may the hearts dance

And although I understand that you

You will always be that dream that perhaps I will never be able to reach

And today I ask your guardian angel to share

To give me courage and daring in the battle to win it

And it's just that I don't want to pass through your life like fads

Don't be scared, Miss, nobody has talked to you about marriage

I just want to be the four legs of your bed

Your war every night, your truce every morning

I want to be your medicine, your silences and your screams

Your thief, your policeman, your garden with gnomes

I want to be the broom that sweeps sadness from your life

I want to be your uncertainty and above all your certainty

...

And it's that I want to be the one who never forgets your birthday

I want you to be my rose and my thorn even if you hurt me

I want to be your carnival, your beginnings and your endings

I want to be the sea where you can drown all your sorrows

I want you to be my Gardel tango, my ditties

My honeymoon crescent, my blues, my eighth wonder

The dance of my living room, the zipper and the buttons

I want you to wear your skirt and also my pants

Your astronaut, the first man to set foot on your moon

Planting a flag of madness

To paint your life with color, with passion

With flavor, with emotion and tenderness

Know that you, I no longer have a cure

Without your love

...

[Spanish]

Hoy le pido a mis sueños, que te quiten la ropa

Que conviertan en besos

Todos mis intentos de morderte la boca

Y aunque entiendo que tú

Tú siempre tienes la última palabra en esto del amor

Y hoy le pido a tu ángel de la guarda, que comparta

Que me de valor y arrojo en la batalla pa' ganarla

Y es que yo no quiero pasar por tu vida como las modas

No se asuste señorita, nadie le a hablado de boda

Yo tan solo quiero ser las cuatro patas de tu cama

Tu guerra todas las noches, tu tregua cada mañana

Quiero ser tu medicina, tus silencios y tus gritos

Tu ladrón, tu policía, tu jardín con enanitos

Quiero ser la escoba que en tu vida barra la tristeza

Quiero ser tu incertidumbre y sobretodo tu certeza

Hoy le pide a la luna, que me alargue esta noche

Y que alumbre con fuerza este sentimiento

Y bailen los corazones

Y aunque entiendo que tú

Serás siempre ese sueño que quizás nunca podré alcanzar

Y hoy le pido a tu ángel de la guarda, que comparta

Que me de valor y arrojo en la batalla pa' ganarla

Y es que yo no quiero pasar por tu vida como las modas

No se asuste señorita nadie le ha hablado de boda

Yo tan solo quiero ser las 4 patas de tu cama

Tu guerra todas las noches, tu tregua cada mañana

Quiero ser tu medicina, tus silencios y tus gritos

Tu ladrón, tu policía, tu jardín con enanitos

Quiero ser la escoba que en tu vida barra la tristeza

Quiero ser tu incertidumbre y sobretodo tu certeza

Y es que yo quiero ser el que nunca olvida tu cumpleaños

Quiero que seas mi rosa y mi espina aunque me hagas daño

Quiero ser tu carnaval, tus principios y tus finales

Quiero ser el mar donde puedas ahogar todos tus males

Quiero que seas mi tango de gardel, mis octavillas

Mi media luna de miel, mi blus, mi octava maravilla

El baile de mi salón, la cremallera y los botones

Quiero que lleves tu falda y también mis pantalones

Tu astronauta, el primer hombre que pise tu luna

Clavando una bandera de locura

Para pintar tu vida de color, de pasión

De sabor, de emoción y ternura

Sepa que usted que yo ya no tengo cura

Sin tu amor
