[English]

Take the moon

Keep it

It fits in a pocket

It'll be soon

Before it goes away

And no longer shines

You asked me for the moon and OK

I'll bring it to you from Silver Bethlehem

I deliver

What I promise

Take my things

And keep them

Without you, they're worthless

Come to my house

Just as you are

With this moon tattooed

You asked me for the moon on loan

I'll bring it here kidnapped

I deliver

What I promise

...

You plus me

Music

Me plus you

Intense love

You're my fantastic one

Don't leave me

You'll dream with me

An erotic dream

An erotic dream

Take the moon

Put it on

In your hair it won't die

The moon

Is your best gel

Talk to her

Calmly

Tell her everything you feel for me

Little one

And you'll understand what you dream of

An erotic dream

An erotic dream

Take the moon

Keep the moon

And you'll be with me

Dance dressed

And dance naked

And I'll be with you

You asked me for the moon and OK

I'll bring it to you from Silver Bethlehem

I deliver

What I promise

I deliver

What I promise

Because I love you!

Yeah, yeah

I desire you!

Toma la luna

Quédatela

Se guarda en un bolsillo

Estará pronto

Que luego se irá

Y ya no tiene brillo

Tú me has pedido la luna y OK

Yo te la traigo de plata a Belén

Yo cumplo

Lo que prometo

Toma mis cosas

Y quédatelas

Sin ti no valen nada

Ven a mi casa

Tal como estás

Con esta luna tatuada

Tú me has pedido la luna prestada

Yo te la traigo aquí secuestrada

Yo cumplo

Lo que prometo

Tú más yo

Música

Yo más tú

Amor intenso

Eres mi fantástica

No te separes de mí

Tú soñarás junto a mí

Un sueño erótico

Un sueño erótico

Toma la luna

Póntela

En tu melena no morirá

La luna

Es tu mejor gelatina

Habla con ella

Tranquilamente

Cuéntale todo lo que sientes por mí

Pequeña

Y entenderás lo que sueñas

Un sueño erótico

Un sueño erótico

Toma la luna

Guarda la luna

Y tú estarás conmigo

Baila vestida

Y baila desnuda

Y yo estaré contigo

Tú me has pedido la luna y OK

Yo te la traigo de Plata Belén

Yo cumplo

Lo que prometo

Yo cumplo

Lo que prometo

¡Porque te quiero!

Yeah, yeah

¡Yo te deseo!
