[English]

You lift me

To the clouds

You lift me

Ra-Rauw

You lift me

To the clouds

Don't let me fall from this sky

I gambled with your love

And I don't want to

Play a demo

You lift me

To the clouds

Don't let me fall from this sky

I like you so much

That I'm afraid

Of falling in love again

Baby

I haven't had

Any luck in love yet

(uh-uh)

Oh, girl

When it comes to relationships, I'm always

The one who has it the worst

(wih-ih)

When you laugh

I feel like you're healing me

Tell me, did you come to save me?

yeah (ey)

I'm dying to see you again

You're leaving me

No one else has eyes like yours

woh-oh, eh (¡yah!)

You lift me (you lift me)

To the clouds (ah-ah)

Don't let me fall from this sky

I gambled with your love

And I don't want to play a demo

You lift me (lift me)

To the clouds (ey)

Don't let me fall from this sky

I like you so much

That I'm afraid

Of falling in love again

I write you poems

Mario Benedetti style (¡wuh!)

About your body

And your athletic legs (ey)

About that kiss

Eating spaghetti (muah)

In love

And I hadn't even put it in (¡ah!)

All of that is mine

Not in those things

But I trust you (no!)

She knows how to take care of herself

She never hangs with the crowd (eh)

There is a war

Over your treasure map (oh)

When you laugh

I feel like you're healing me

Tell me, did you come

To save me?

(yeah), yeah (yeah-yeah)

I'm dying to see you again

You're leaving me

No one else has

Eyes like yours

woh-oh, eh

You lift me (you lift me)

To the clouds

Don't let me fall from this sky

I gambled with your love

And I don't want to

Play a demo

You lift me

To the clouds

Don't let me fall from this sky

I like you so much

That I'm afraid

Of falling in love again

Ra-Rauw

Rauw Alejandro

Calloway

Yeah

(You lift me

To the clouds

Don't let me fall from this sky

I gambled with your love

And I don't want to

Play a demo

You lift me

To the clouds

Don't let me fall from this sky

I like you so much

That I'm afraid

Of falling in love again)
