Sabes amor yo nunca te he olvidado

You know, my love, I have never forgotten you

Te recuerdo en cada estrella siempre que aparece

Sabes amor siempre te he recordado

Y te miro en cada flor que al colibrí se ofrece

Sabes amor yo siempre te he encontrado

En cada malva que florece

Cuando las hojas bailan

Cuando la luna sale

Y cuando el sol se mete

And when the sun sets

Yo te recuerdo
