[English]

A little more

Maybe we’ll understand each other later

A little more

I’m carrying the scent of new affection

Let’s return to the path of love

It doesn’t matter what I have to forget

If we’re going to suffer for a mistake

A plea is better

A little more

It’ll be a relief for two failures

And if you leave

At least take my weary arms with you

After all, I’ve already given you

My love, my faith, my entire life

And if you don’t take them, what do I care?

Let them stay outside

Why do you leave me, my love, so quickly?

Don’t you enjoy my agony?

If the night is awaited all day long

Wait for me too

After all, I’ve already given you

My love, my faith, my entire life

And if you don’t take them, what do I care?

Let them stay outside

Why do you leave me, my love, so quickly?

Don’t you enjoy my agony?

If the night is awaited all day long

Wait for me too

A little more

Wait a little longer

More

...

[Spanish]

Un poco más

Ya lo mejor nos comprendemos luego

Un poco más

Que tengo aromas de cariño nuevo

Volvamos al camino del amor

No importa lo que tenga que olvidar

Si vamos a sufrir por un error

Es preferible un ruego

Un poco más

Será un alivio para dos fracasos

Y si te vas

Llévate al menos mis cansados brazos

Al fin que ya te di

Mi cariño, mi fe, mi vida entera

Y si no te los llevas qué me importa

Que se queden afuera

¿Por qué te vas mi bien tan deprisa?

¿No gozas mi agonía?

Si la noche se espera todo el día

Espera tú también

Al fin que ya te di

Mi cariño, mi fe, mi vida entera

Y si no te los llevas qué me importa

Que se queden afuera

¿Por qué te vas mi bien tan deprisa?

¿No gozas mi agonía?

Si la noche se espera todo el día

Espera tú también

Un poco más

Espera un poco

Más
