[English]

Two candles, two candles

Tell me, Christmas

How do you do it?

For another year

To make everything change

You invented the way

For time to wrap

Our dreams in paper

Three kisses, two candles, and a night with you (with you)

Let it snow, let it rain, may my wish come true

Chocolate and fire so we don't need a coat

And a little bit of magic so the bad goes away and you stay with me (with me)

We already have the table set and everyone here (oh, here)

We'll make this Christmas Eve last until April

The house full of gifts (gifts) and the kids can't sleep

They don't know that being here together is all I asked for

...

Three kisses, two candles, and a night with you (with you)

Let it snow, let it rain, may my wish come true

Chocolate and fire so we don't need a coat

And a little bit of magic so the bad goes away and you stay with me (with me)

Tell me, Christmas

That this year it's not too late (mmh)

To wish

That your magic doesn't end

Three kisses, two candles, and a night with you

Let it snow, let it rain, may my wish come true

Chocolate and fire so we don't need a coat

And a little bit of magic so the bad goes away and you stay with me

With me

...

[Spanish]

(Dos velas, dos velas)

Dime, Navidad

¿Cómo es que tú lo haces?

Para un año más

Hacer que todo cambie

Te inventaste la manera

De que el tiempo se ponga a envolver

Nuestros sueños en papel

Tres besos, dos velas y una noche de estar contigo (contigo)

Que nieve, que llueva, que mi deseo sea cumplido

Chocolate y fuego para que no haga falta abrigo

Y un poquito de magia para que lo malo se vaya y te quedes conmigo (conmigo)

Ya tenemos la mesa puesta y todos aquí (oh, aquí)

Haremos que esta Nochebuena nos dure hasta abril

La casa llena de regalos (regalos) y los niños sin dormir

No saben que estar aquí juntos es todo lo que pedí

Tres besos, dos velas y una noche de estar contigo (contigo)

Que nieve, que llueva, que mi deseo sea cumplido

Chocolate y fuego para que no haga falta abrigo

Y un poquito de magia para que lo malo se vaya y te quedes conmigo (conmigo)

Dime, Navidad

Que este año no es tarde (mmh)

Para desear

Que tu magia no acabe

Tres besos, dos velas y una noche de estar contigo

Que nieve, que llueva, que mi deseo sea cumplido

Chocolate y fuego para que no haga falta abrigo

Y un poquito de magia para que lo malo se vaya y te quedes conmigo

Conmigo
