[English]

This love is like a religion

...

Dangerous matters from the past still haunt me

Stories people haven't forgotten that remind me every day

If I made it here alive, an old wound won't kill me

Let them talk badly, let them die of envy

I was an atheist, but now I believe

Because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe

Because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe

Because a miracle came down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe (now I believe)

They talk about my life as if they've all lived through it, eh-eh-eh

And while they spin tales, you and I alone, bachatas and a bottle

I want to make a religion of your hair, your mouth, and your face

And may the Virgin of Almudena forgive me

The things I do in your bed

If I arrived alive here, an old wound won't kill me

Let them speak ill, let them die of envy (let them talk)

I was an atheist, but now I believe

Because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe

Because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe

Because a miracle came down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe

...

May they die of envy

...

Ah-ah-ah

May they die of envy

You pulled me out of the darkness, we're a gravity affair

You awaken that devil in me that steals all my spirituality

I no longer know what's happening to me, now nothing replaces you

Your mouth is like my home

What they say feels like poison

If they ask me, I'll tell them I don't know

I want to scream that I miss you

Give me holy water that quenches my thirst

The ultimate romantic (the one from Madrid!)

I was an atheist (that's right), but now I believe

Because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe

Because a miracle like you had to come down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe

Because a miracle came down from heaven

I was an atheist, but now I believe

...

[Spanish]

Este amor es como una religión

Asuntos peligrosos del pasado me persiguen todavía

Historias que la gente no olvidó y que me recuerdan cada día

Si llegué vivo aquí, no me va a matar una vieja herida

Déjales que hablen mal, se mueran de envidia

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro como tú ha tenido que bajar del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro como tú ha tenido que bajar del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro bajó del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo (ahora creo)

Hablan de mi vida como si hubieran pasao todos por ella, eh-eh-eh

Y mientras cuentan cuentos, tú y yo solos, bachatas y una botella

Quiero hacerle religión a tu melena, a tu boca, y a tu cara

Y que me perdone la Virgen de la Almudena

Las cosa' que hago en tu cama

Si llegué viva aquí no me va a matar una vieja herida

Déjales que hablen mal, se mueran de envidia (que hablen)

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro como tú ha tenido que bajar del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro como tú ha tenido que bajar del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro bajó del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Que se mueran de envidia

Ah-ah-ah

Que se mueran de envidia

Me sacaste de la oscuridad, somos un asunto 'e gravedad

Tú despiertas ese diablo mío que me roba toda espiritualidad

Ya no sé lo que me pasa, ahora nada te reemplaza

Tu boca es como mi casa

Lo que ellos dicen parece veneno

Si me preguntan, yo le' diré que no lo sé

Quiero gritar que te echo de menos

Dame del agua bendita que calma mi sed

El último romántico (¡El Madrileño!)

Yo era ateo (eso es), pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro como tú ha tenido que bajar del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro como tú ha tenido que bajar del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo

Porque un milagro bajó del cielo

Yo era ateo, pero ahora creo
