[English]

I’m selling my treasure to you

A small thing

But perhaps in it

There’s a rose

And even a bit of pride

And of illusion

And to sell it all

I’ll auction off my heart too

No, don’t ask how much

Give me something beautiful

A night of love

Or maybe a star

Give me whatever you want

Whatever you can give

Because in the end

I want to sell myself completely

Don’t ask me how much

Offer what you can

Give me a moonbeam

Or a starfish

And if you have nothing

And can’t pay me

I’ll give myself to you

Just let yourself be loved

Don’t ask me how much

Offer what you can

Give me a moonbeam

Or a starfish

And if you have nothing

And can’t pay me

I’ll give myself to you

Just let yourself be loved

...

[Spanish]

Te vendo mi tesoro

Poca cosa

Pero quizás en él

Haya una rosa

Y hasta un poco de orgullo

Y de ilusión

Y por venderlo todo

Remataré también el corazón

No, no preguntes cuánto

Dame una cosa bella

Una noche de amor

O quizás una estrella

Dame lo que tú quieras

Lo que me puedas dar

Porque al final de cuentas

Me quiero rematar

No me preguntes cuánto

Ofrece lo que puedas

Dame un rayo de luna

O una estrella de mar

Y si es que nada tienes

Y no me puedes pagar

Me regalo contigo

No más déjate amar

No me preguntes cuánto

Ofrece lo que puedas

Dame un rayo de luna

O una estrella de mar

Y si es que nada tienes

Y no me puedes pagar

Me regalo contigo

No más déjate amar
