[English]

Today we will love each other

Today we will stay until dawn

...

Today we will live it

And what does it matter if it seems absurd?

We love each other, that is the truth

We care for each other, that is the reality

The rest, what does it matter?

Today we will love each other

Today we will sail with our souls open

Forget the people

They no longer exist when we close the door

This love is not easy to find

We are not going to sacrifice it

No, my love

Love me and let me love you my way

Take me, my body waits thirsty for you

Love me and let me love you my way

And let people say whatever they want

...

This love is not easy to find

We are not going to sacrifice it

No, my love

Today we will love each other

Today we will stay until dawn

Your body is so fragile

Mine is of fire and the morning is fresh

The time is right for love

We are not going to waste it

No, my love

Love me and let me love you my way

Take me, my body waits thirsty for you

Love me and let me love you my way

And let people say whatever they want

Love me and let me love you my way

Take me, my body waits thirsty for you

Love me and let me love you my way

And let people say whatever they want

...

[Spanish]

Hoy nos amaremos

Hoy nos quedaremos hasta que amanezca

Hoy lo viviremos

¿Y qué nos importa que absurdo parezca?

Nos amamos, esa es la verdad

Nos queremos, es la realidad

Lo demás, ¿qué importa?

Hoy nos amaremos

Hoy navegaremos con el alma abierta

Olvida la gente

Ellos ya no existen al cerrar la puerta

Este amor no es fácil de encontrar

No lo vamos a sacrificar

No, mi amor

Ámame y déjame amarte a mi manera

Tómame, sediento de ti mi cuerpo espera

Ámame y déjame amarte a mi manera

Y que diga la gente lo que quiera

Este amor no es fácil de encontrar

No lo vamos a sacrificar

No, mi amor

Hoy nos amaremos

Hoy nos quedaremos hasta que amanezca

Tu cuerpo es tan frágil

El mío es de fuego y la mañana es fresca

Es propicio el tiempo para amar

No lo vamos a desperdiciar

No, mi amor

Ámame y déjame amarte a mi manera

Tómame, sediento de ti mi cuerpo espera

Ámame y déjame amarte a mi manera

Y que diga la gente lo que quiera

Ámame y déjame amarte a mi manera

Tómame, sediento de ti mi cuerpo espera

Ámame y déjame amarte a mi manera

Y que diga la gente lo que quiera

Lala laralai lalarai lalailala

Lala larala lalara lalailala
