[English]

Every morning when I wake up

I feel an anxiety deep in my soul

To hear your voice, to feel your kisses

Even if I try to forget you

I desire you so much I can’t take it anymore

To resist like this, without your love (if you leave)

There’ll be no adventure in my gaze (only if you leave)

I fall into an endless abyss, (uh-uh) yeah

Even if I try to hide it

No one could ever match

What you and I are

When it’s body to body

With every night you give me

And the way you surrender completely

You make me beg for your love (if you leave)

There’ll be no adventure in my gaze (only if you leave)

I fall into an endless abyss, (uh-uh) yeah

If you leave, nothing will remain for me, nothing will ever be the same

If you leave, you’ll take your gaze with you, life will end

If you leave, nothing will remain for me, nothing will ever be the same

...

If you leave, you’ll take your gaze with you, life will end

If you leave, nothing will remain for me, without your kisses, (if you leave) je-je

No, no-no, no, no

I’m dying without your kisses

...

If you leave, nothing will remain for me, nothing will ever be the same

If you leave, you’ll take your gaze with you, life will end

(If you leave, nothing will remain for me) and I’ll die if you leave

...

[Spanish]

Cada mañana al despertar

Siento en el alma una ansiedad

De escuchar tu voz, de sentir tus besos

Aunque te quiera olvidar

Te deseo tanto que ya no puedo más

Resistir así, sin tu amor (si te vas)

No habrá aventura en mi mirar (solo si te vas)

Caigo al abismo sin final, (uh-uh) yei

Aunque lo quiera ocultar

Nadie podría igualar

Lo que somos tú y yo

Cuando es cuerpo a cuerpo

Con cada noche que me das

Y tu forma de entregarte hasta el final

Me haces suplicar por tu amor (si te vas)

No habrá aventura en mi mirar (solo si te vas)

Caigo al abismo sin final, (uh-uh) yei

Si te vas ya nada me quedará, ya nada será igual

Si te vas me dejas sin tu mirar, la vida se acabará

Si te vas ya nada me quedará, ya nada será igual

Si te vas me dejas sin tu mirar, la vida se acabará

Si te vas nada me quedará, sin tus besos, (si te vas) je-je

No, no-no, no, no

Me muero sin tus besos

Si te vas ya nada me quedará ya nada será igual

Si te vas me dejas sin tu mirar, la vida se acabará

(Si te vas nada me quedará) y me muero si te vas
