Cada día que pasa crece esta locura
Every day that goes by, this madness grows
El ungüento de tus labios es mi cura
The balm of your lips is my cure
Tú me domas con el circo de tus besos
You tame me with the circus of your kisses
Y milito en la frontera de tus huesos
And I enlist on the border of your bones
Es mejor vivir un día contigo
It's better to live one day with you
Que vivir mil años sin tu abrigo
Than to live a thousand years without your shelter
Es por eso que hoy te pido
That's why today I'm asking you
Que me des tu cariño
To give me your love
Para yo quedarme
So I can stay
Un minuto me basta vida
One minute is enough for me, life
Para enamorarte
To make you fall in love
Que me des tu cariño
That you give me your affection
Como el mar, las olas
Like the sea, the waves
Como luna en la noche, vida
Like the moon in the night, my life
Que se entrega toda
That surrenders completely
Escalar el cielo abierto de tu boca
To climb the open sky of your mouth
Y orbitar en tus galaxias se me antoja
And to orbit in your galaxies is tempting to me
Es mejor vivir un día contigo
It's better to live one day with you
Que vivir mil años sin tu abrigo
Than to live a thousand years without your embrace
Es por eso que hoy te pido
That's why today I ask you
Que me des tu cariño
That you give me your love
Para yo quedarme
So I can stay
Un minuto me basta vida
One minute is enough for me, life
Para enamorarte
To fall in love with you
Que me des tu cariño
That you give me your love
Como el mar, las olas
Like the sea, the waves
Como luna en la noche, vida
Like the moon in the night, life
Que se entrega toda
That gives itself completely
Estrellita de la noche
Little star of the night
Dime cómo, cuándo y dónde (cuándo y dónde)
Tell me how, when, and where (when and where)
Muéstrale aquel horizonte
Show me that horizon
Se vistió de azul y se hizo cielo
Dressed in blue, became the sky
Que me des tu cariño
That you give me your love
Para yo quedarme
So I can stay
Un minuto me basta vida
One minute is enough for me, life
Para enamorarte
To make you fall in love
Que me des tu cariño
That you give me your love
Como el mar a las olas
Like the sea to the waves
Como luna en la noche, vida
Like the moon in the night, life
Que se entrega toda
That gives itself completely
