[English]

I arrived drunk on love

Just like every night

You will want to kiss me and fill me with love

Without any reproach

My God, why is it that in someone else's face

I find the gaze, the skin that drives me crazy

I wish I could be someone else, but I can't do that either

Be drunk on love

...

You are my life, you are my love

You are my everything

How sad I feel for not being able to decide

I love you in my own way

My God, why is it that in someone else's face

I find the gaze, the skin that drives me crazy

I wish I could be someone else, but I can't do that either

Be drunk on love

...

You are my life, you are my love

You are my everything

How sad I feel for not being able to decide

I love you in my own way

My God, why is it that in someone else's face

I find the gaze, the skin that drives me crazy

I wish I could be someone else, but I can't do that either

Be drunk on love

...

[Spanish]

Llegué borracho de amor

Como todas las noches

Tú querrás besarme y llenarme de amor

Sin ningún reproche

Dios mío por qué hay en otro rostro

La mirada, la piel que me vuelve loco

Quisiera ser otro y no poder tampoco

Ser un ebrio de amor

Tú eres mi vida, tú eres mi amor

Tú eres mi todo

Qué triste me siento por no decidir

Te quiero a mi modo

Dios mío por qué hay en otro rostro

La mirada, la piel que me vuelve loco

Quisiera ser otro y no poder tampoco

Ser un ebrio de amor

Tú eres mi vida tu eres mi amor

Tú eres mi todo

Qué triste me siento por no decidir

Te quiero a mi modo

Dios mío por qué hay en otro rostro

La mirada, la piel que me vuelve loco

Quisiera ser otro y no poder tampoco

Ser un ebrio de amor
