[English]

I know well that even though so much time has passed,

Maybe when I see you again, I get chills,

I know well that even though the years have gone by,

You are still my most beautiful memory.

I've been told you've returned to my town,

That you walk alone and silent,

And that you only live on memories

Of this love that left you so hopeful.

You were also my first love,

You were also my first dream

That entered my life,

Come back, my love, I want to kiss you,

Come back to me,

And I promise to adore you, my darling,

That I will love you and worship you,

I swear to God,

Because you are my sun, my passion,

I love you, my love,

I will love you and worship you,

I swear to God,

Because you are my sun, my passion,

I love you, my love,

Love me, kiss me,

Love me again,

Cherish me, love me,

Kiss me again (refrain)...

This love came to take away my innocence,

Filling my heart with caresses,

My first love, what a beautiful thing,

Your first love, what a lovely story,

That first kiss lives on in my mind,

Born from the heart without words,

How can I forget that beautiful moment,

When love's hour arrived for us,

Back then, you made me happy,

That's why I want you to love me again,

My divine love,

Just knowing you're so close to me,

I want to scream to you, my love, come back and love me,

And I promise you,

That I will love you, worship you,

I swear to God,

Because you are my sun, my passion,

I love you, my love,

I will love you and worship you,

I swear to God,

Because you are my sun, my passion,

I love you, my love,

Love me, kiss me,

Love me again,

Cherish me, love me,

Kiss me again,

Love me, kiss me,

Love me again,

Cherish me, love me,

Kiss me again.

[Spanish]

Yo se bien que aunque paso tanto tiempo,

Si quizas te vuelvo a ver me estremezco,

Yo se bien que aunque pasaron los años

Eres tu mi mas bonito recuerdo.

Me han contado que volviste a mi pueblo

Que caminas solitario y callado

Y que solo vives de los recuerdos

De este amor que te dejo ilusionado.

Tu tambien fuiste mi primer amor,

Tu tambien fuiste la primera ilusion

Que entro a mi vida,

Vuelve mi amor que yo te quiero besar

Vuelve a mi vida,

Y yo prometo adorarte mi dulzura,

Que yo te voy a querer te voy a adorar

Lo juro por dios

Porque tu eres mi sol eres mi pasion

Te quiero mi amor,

Que yo te voy a querer te voy a adorar

Lo juro por dios

Porque tu eres mi sol eres mi pasion

Te quiero mi amor

Quiereme, besame,

Amame otra vez,

Mimame quiereme

Besame otra vez (bis)...

Este amor llego a tomar mi anosencia

Al llenar el corazon de caricias

Mi primer amor que cosa mas bella

Tu primer amor que historia tan linda,

En mi mente vive aquel primer beso

Que nacio del corazon sin palabras

Como olvidar ese instante tan bello

Cuando la hora del amor nos llegaba,

En aquel tiempo tu me hiciste feliz

Por eso quiero que me vuelvas amar

Mi amor divino

Solo al saber que estas tan cerca de mi

Quiero gritarte mi amor vuelveme a amar

Y te prometo

Que yo te voy a querer, te voy a adorar

Lo juro por dios

Porque tu eres mi sol, eres mi pasion

Te quiero mi amor

Que yo te voy a querer te voy a adorar

Lo juro por dios

Porque tu eres mi sol, eres mi pasion

Te quiero mi amor,

Quiereme, besame

Amame otra vez,

Mimame, quiereme

Besame otra vez,

Quiereme, besame

Amame otra vez,

Mimame, quiereme

Besame otra vez.
