I became drunk with love

Like every night, you’ll want to kiss me

Fill me with love, without any blame

My God, why?

In other faces, in the skin’s reality

That drive me crazy, I’d rather be a

barfly and not be able to, or a drunk on

love

They can live

You are my love, you are my everything, how

sad I feel for not deciding what

I want my way, because there’s another

face captured in the skin

The one that drives me crazy, I want another, but can’t

be a drunk on love either

If I were to live

You are the love, you are my everything, how

sad I feel for not deciding what

I want my way, mine, why

There’s another face walking in the skin

That drives me crazy, but I can’t

be a drunk on love either

llegué a borrar yo de amor

como todas las noches tú querrás besarme

llenarme de amor sin ningún reproche

dios mío por qué

en otros rostros en realidad a la piel

que me vuelven loco yo quiera ser un

antro y no poder tampoco ser un ebrio de

amor
