[English]

I don’t want to be far from you anymore

I don’t want to be the executioner of your love any longer

In your eyes I saw eternity

On your lips I felt myself die of love

You are already like my guardian angel

The stars, the whole sky and much more, I know

Each day I love you a little more

Each night I melt in your warmth

Your caresses make me vibrate

You are the cure to my illness

And the nights are so long when you’re not here

I no longer dream for fear of waking up, not anymore

She is very different from the others

Innocent, beautiful, angelic

She is very different from the others

Innocent, beautiful, angelic

Who could possibly oppose?

She is my delirium and my agony

Who could possibly oppose?

She is my delirium, she is my life

Who could possibly oppose?

She is my delirium and my agony

Who could possibly oppose?

She is my delirium, she is my life

She is very different from the others

Innocent, beautiful, angelic

She is very different from the others

Innocent, beautiful, angelic

Who could possibly oppose?

She is my delirium and my agony

Who could possibly oppose?

She is my delirium, she is my life

Who could possibly oppose?

She is my delirium and my agony

Who could possibly oppose?

She is my delirium, she is my life

...

[Spanish]

Ya no quiero estar lejos de ti

Ya no quiero ser verdugo de tu amor

En tus ojos vi la eternidad

En tus labios me sentí morir de amor

Ya eres como mi ángel guardián

Las estrellas, todo el cielo y mucho más, lo sé

Cada día te amo un poco más

Cada noche me derrito en tu calor

Tus caricias me hacen vibrar

Eres el remedio a mi enfermedad

Y las noches son tan largas si no estás

Ya no sueño por temor a despertar, ya no

Ella es muy distinta a las demás

Inocente, bella, angelical

Ella es muy distinta a las demás

Inocente, bella, angelical

¿Quién se podrá oponer?

Ella es mi delirio y mi agonía

¿Quién se podrá oponer?

Ella es mi delirio, ella es mi vida

¿Quién se podrá oponer?

Ella es mi delirio y mi agonía

¿Quién se podrá oponer?

Ella es mi delirio, ella es mi vida

Ella es muy distinta a las demás

Inocente, bella, angelical

Ella es muy distinta a las demás

Inocente, bella, angelical

¿Quién se podrá oponer?

Ella es mi delirio y mi agonía

¿Quién se podrá oponer?

Ella es mi delirio, ella es mi vida

¿Quién se podrá oponer?

Ella es mi delirio y mi agonía

¿Quién se podrá oponer?

Ella es mi delirio, ella es mi vida
