I am your first time

...

I am the one who made you a woman

I, I am not a thief

I am just love

I am just love

Your first time

I don’t pretend to be

Just a moment with you

I want to have you

Always by my side, my love

Always by my side, my love

Forever like this

I am your first time

I am the one who loves you well

I am that something that in the end

Will always remain, my love

Will always remain, my love

Only for you

I am, through the force of love

That clarity

Where you will be able to see

You, will always live

Like a pore on my skin

No, you won’t forget me

You will always love me, my love

You will always love me, my love

Will always remain, my love

Only for you

I am, through the force of love

That clarity

Where you will be able to see

I am, through the force of love

That clarity

Where you will be able to see
