[English]

I'm your first time

I'm the one who made you a woman

I, I'm not a thief

I'm just love

I'm just love

Your first time

I don’t aim to be

Just a moment in you

I want to have you

Always by my side, my love

Always by my side, my love

Forever like this

I'm your first time

I'm the one who loves you well

I'm what, in the end,

Will always remain, my love

Will always remain, my love

Only for you

I am, through the strength of love,

That clarity

Where you can see

...

You, you'll always live

Like a pore in my skin

No, you won't forget me

You'll always love me, my love

You'll always love me, my love

I'll always love you

I'm your first time

I'm the one who loves you well

I'm what, in the end,

Will always remain, my love

Will always remain, my love

Only for you

I am, through the strength of love,

That clarity

Where you can see

I am, through the strength of love,

That clarity

Where you can see

...
