[English]

Behind the shimmer of a glass

I couldn't stop admiring your silhouette

I only longed for a single sign

I gazed into your eyes

Your beauty was such a realistic dream

One that I never wanted to wake from

And I lost track of time dreaming all alone

Crazy for your love

You are what I have always loved

You are what I have been waiting for

A love poem

A new tomorrow

You are what has changed me

You are the meaning

That brought me wonder

Passion and hope

Sharing intimacy

Was feeling the rhythm of your heart

While we made love

To appreciate life is to see you sleeping

Here by my side and sheltering in your warmth

It's losing track of time being alone

Just you and I

You are what I have always loved

You are what I have been waiting for

A love poem

A new tomorrow

You are what has changed me

You are the meaning

That brought me wonder

Passion and hope

...

You are what I have always loved

You are what I have been waiting for

A love poem

A new tomorrow

You are what has changed me

You are the meaning

That brought me wonder

Passion and hope

You are what I have always loved

You are what I have been waiting for

A new tomorrow

You are what has changed me

You are the meaning

Passion and hope

You are what I have always loved

You are what I have been waiting for

A love poem

A new tomorrow

You are

[Spanish]

Tras el brillo de un cristal

Tu silueta no dejaba de admirar

Deseaba solo una señal

Contemplaba tu mirar

Tu hermosura era un sueño tan real

Del que no quise despertar

Y confundí las horas soñando a solas

Loco por tu amor

Eres lo que siempre he amado

Eres lo que yo he esperado

Un poema de amor

Un nuevo mañana

Eres lo que me ha cambiado

Eres el significado

Que me trajo ilusión

Pasión y esperanza

Compartir la intimidad

Fue sentir el ritmo de tu corazón

Mientras hicimos el amor

Apreciar la vida, es verte dormida

Aquí a mi lado y cobijarme en tu calor

Es confundir las horas estando a solas

Juntos tú y yo

Eres lo que siempre he amado

Eres lo que yo he esperado

Un poema de amor

Un nuevo mañana

Eres lo que me ha cambiado

Eres el significado

Que me trajo ilusión

Pasión y esperanza

Eres lo que siempre he amado

Eres lo que yo he esperado

Un poema de amor

Un nuevo mañana

Eres lo que me ha cambiado

Eres el significado

Que me trajo ilusión

Pasión y esperanza

Eres lo que siempre he amado

Eres lo que yo he esperado

Un nuevo mañana

Eres lo que me ha cambiado

Eres el significado

Pasión y esperanza

Eres lo que siempre he amado

Eres lo que yo he esperado

Un poema de amor

Un nuevo mañana

Eres
