[English]

When my nights can speak to you and manage to tell you what you mean to me

What stories will they share with you?

How many other things will you learn about me?

You’ll know I love you, you’ll know I love you

A love like this has never existed before

My eyes have never shed tears

Like that night I said goodbye to you

I long to return to your side

To have you with me, to live our love

You’ll know I love you, you’ll know I love you

Because you are my life, my heaven, and my everything

I long to return to your side

...

To have you with me, to live our love

You’ll know I love you, you’ll know I love you

Because you are my life, my heaven, and my everything

Because you are my life, my heaven, and my everything

...

[Spanish]

Cuando puedan mis noches hablarte y logren decirte lo que eres en mí

¿Qué de cosas irán a contarte?

¿Cuántas otras sabrás tú de mí?

Que te quiero, sabrás que te quiero

Cariño como este jamás existió

Que mis ojos jamás han llorado

Como aquella noche que te dije adiós

Que deseo volver a tu lado

Tenerte conmigo, vivir nuestro amor

Que te quiero, sabrás que te quiero

Porque eres mi vida, mi cielo y mi Dios

Que deseo volver a tu lado

Tenerte conmigo, vivir nuestro amor

Que te quiero, sabrás que te quiero

Porque eres mi vida, mi cielo y mi Dios

Porque eres mi vida, mi cielo y mi Dios
