Como tú, vida mía
Like you, my life
Yo no encuentro en la tierra otra mujer
I can't find another woman on this earth
La he buscado en Namibia
I've searched for her in Namibia
En los Alpes y en los Champs-Élysées
In the Alps and on the Champs-Élysées
He cruzado los mares
I've crossed the seas
Y de paso subí en la torre Eiffel
And on the way, I went up the Eiffel Tower
Caminé por Manhattan
I walked through Manhattan
Y llegué al Empire State
And I reached the Empire State
Como tú no hay en sta vida
There's no one like you in this life
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
(There's no one like you)
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
Like you, there's no one who understands me
(Como tú me comprendes)
(Like you understand me)
Como tú no hay quien me acaricie
Like you, there's no one who caresses me
(Como tú me acaricias)
(Like you caress me)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
Not in China nor in Siberia
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
(Like you, there's no other)
Vana mi travesa (oh, no)
My journey is in vain (oh, no)
Al buscar otro amor igual que tú (yeh, yeh)
When searching for another love like you (yeh, yeh)
No lo hallé en Barcelona, (oh, no)
I didn't find it in Barcelona, (oh, no)
En Los Angeles ni en Kuala Lumpur (yeh, yeh)
In Los Angeles nor in Kuala Lumpur (yeh, yeh)
Recorrí Bariloche (oh, no)
I traveled around Bariloche (oh, no)
Y no pude encontrarlo en el Big Ben (yeh, yeh)
And I couldn't find it at Big Ben (yeh, yeh)
Y de paso por Tokyo
And on my way through Tokyo
Yo viajé en el Shinkansen
I traveled on the Shinkansen
Como tú no hay en esta vida
There's no one like you in this life
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
(There's no one like you)
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
There's no one who understands me like you do
(Como tú me comprendes)
(The way you understand me)
Y como tú no hay quien me acaricie
And there's no one who caresses me like you do
(Como tú me acaricias)
(The way you caress me)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
(Like you, there is none)
Es que un amor como el tuyo
It's that a love like yours
Es para siempre
Is forever
Vuela sobre manantiales
It flies over springs
Y continentes (te digo yo que sí)
And continents (I tell you it does)
Riza las nubes del cielo
It curls the clouds of the sky
Besa las olas del alba
Kisses the waves of dawn
Gime con la madrugada
Moans with the morning
Ama sin pedirme nada
Loves without asking me for anything
Que tú me gustas
That I like you
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
(Like you, there's no one else)
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
Like you, there's no one who understands me
(Como tú me comprendes)
(Like you understand me)
Como tú no hay quien me acaricie
Like you, there's no one who caresses me
(Como tú me acaricias)
(Like you caress me)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Como tú, nadie como tú, como tú)
(Like you, no one like you, like you)
(Como tú, como tú, como tú)
(Like you, like you, like you)
Cómo va ese coro fuerte
How's that chorus going strong
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
(Like you, there's no one)
Pero que como tú no hay quien me comprenda
But there's no one like you who understands me
(Como tú me comprendes)
(Like you understand me)
Y como tú no hay quien me acaricie
And there's no one like you who caresses me
(Como tú me acaricias)
(Like you caress me)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Como tú)
(Like you)
Como tú no hay en esta vida
There's no one like you in this life
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda, ay no
There's no one who understands me like you do, oh no
(Como tú me comprendes)
(Like you understand me)
Y como tú no hay quien me acaricie (ye, y, ye, y)
And like you, there's no one to caress me (ye, and, ye, and)
(Como tú me acaricias)
(Like how you caress me)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Como tú, nadie como tú, como tú)
(Like you, no one like you, like you)
(Como tú, como tú, nadie como tú, como tú)
(Like you, like you, no one like you, like you)
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
Like you, there's no one who understands me
(Como tú me comprendes)
(Like you understand me)
Y como tú no hay quien me acaricie
And like you, there's no one to caress me
(Como tú me acaricias)
(Like how you caress me)
Como tú no hay en esta vida
Like you, there's no one in this life
(Como tú, nadie como tú, como tú)
(Like you, no one like you, like you)
