What you and I have is an open secret

This love is pure, we can't hide it

I want you to dance with me under the light of this sky

I want you to whisper an "I love you" in my ear

Come and tell me that you love me

And never walk away from me again

Because my soul falls into disarray

Because without your kisses, I cannot live

Come and tell me that you love me

And never walk away from me again

My soul falls into disarray

Because without your kisses, I cannot live

You have me tied up

I've moved past everything from my past

I only want to look at you, I don't want to look anywhere else

You are everything I have ever dreamed of

Don't fear the fire, I've already put it out, girl

Look, you have something special

Inside, I can't get out

No, I can't get out

That cinnamon color of your skin

Girl, I'm already in love with it

It is you whom I have chosen

For this life and the next

It's you who binds me, you who kills me

You have me going crazy, thinking about us two

The love I have for you can't be bought, no

It can't be bought, no (it can't be bought, no)

Come and tell me that you love me

And never walk away from me again

Because my soul falls into disarray

Because without your kisses, I cannot live

Come and tell me that you love me

And never walk away from me again

Because my soul falls into disarray

Because without your kisses, I cannot live

I have more than enough reasons to love you

One look is enough for me to understand you

I swear that I will always take care of you

I will be with you forever

I cannot live without your kisses

If I don't have you, I lose my breath

Protect my feelings

Even though I'm a bit of a mess

Life is too short to live it apart

But by your side

Come and tell me that you love me

And never walk away from me again

Because my soul falls into disarray

Because without your kisses, I cannot live

Come and tell me that you love me

And never walk away from me again

Because my soul falls into disarray

Because without your kisses, I cannot live

...

Iconex

Es un secreto a voces lo que tú y yo tenemos

Amor es puro, no podemos esconderlo

Quiero que me bailes bajo la luz de este cielo

Quiero que me susurres al oído un "Te quiero"

Ven y dime que me amas

Y no te alejes nunca más de mí

Que se desordena mi alma

Que sin tus besos yo no puedo vivir

Ven y dime que me amas

Y no te alejes nunca más de mí

Se desordena mi alma

Que sin tus besos yo no puedo vivir

Me tienes amarrado

Lo que tenía de atrás ya lo tengo todo superado

Quiero mirarte a ti, no quiero mirar pa otro lado

Eres tú todo lo que he soñado

No le temas al fuego, que ya lo tengo apagado, ma

Mira, tú tienes algo que es especial

Dentro, ya no puedo salir

No, no, no puedo salir

Ese color canela en la piel

Niña, que me encanta ya

Es a ti a quien elegí

Pa esta vida y la de después

Eres tú lo que me ata, lo que me mata

Me tienes como loco pensando en los dos

El amor que te tengo no se compra, no

No se compra, no (no se compra, no)

Ven y dime que me amas

Y no te alejes nunca más de mí

Que se desordena mi alma

Que sin tus besos yo no puedo vivir

Ven y dime que me amas

Y no te alejes nunca más de mí

Que se desordena mi alma

Que sin tus besos yo no puedo vivir

Me sobran los motivos para amarte

Me basta una mirada pa entenderte

Te juro que siempre yo voy a cuidarte

Estaré contigo para siempre

No puedo vivir sin tus besos

Si yo no te tengo, se me escapa el aire

Protege mis sentimientos

Y eso que soy medio desastre

La vida es corta pa vivirla separados

Pero a tu lado

Ven y dime que me amas

Y no te alejes nunca más de mí

Que se desordena mi alma

Que sin tus besos yo no puedo vivir

Ven y dime que me amas

Y no te alejes nunca más de mí

Que se desordena mi alma

Que sin tus besos yo no puedo vivir
