[English]

I'll never be able to forget you

Because you showed me how to love

With a sip of champagne

To toast to new love

The gentle glow of that corner

Made my heart beat faster

It's so easy to remember

Whenever I raise a glass again

With a sip of champagne

To toast to new love

And then it was

When I kissed you

From your gaze

I fell in love

With a sip of champagne

To toast to new love

The gentle glow of that corner

Made my heart beat faster

...

And then it was

When I kissed you

From your gaze

I fell in love

With a sip of champagne

To toast to new love

The gentle glow of that corner

Made my heart beat faster

...

[Spanish]

Nunca te podré olvidar

Porque me enseñaste a amar

Con un sorbito de champán

Brindando por el nuevo amor

La suave luz de aquel rincón

Hizo latir mi corazón

Es tan fácil recordar

Siempre que vuelvo a brindar

Con un sorbito de champán

Brindando por el nuevo amor

Y entonces fue

Cuando te besé

De tu mirar

Yo me enamoré

Con un sorbito de champán

Brindando por el nuevo amor

La suave luz de aquel rincón

Hizo latir mi corazón

Y entonces fue

Cuando te besé

De tu mirar

Yo me enamoré

Con un sorbito de champán

Brindando por el nuevo amor

La suave luz de aquel rincón

Hizo latir mi corazón
