Lyrics
Español
Como no hay tierras sin cielos; como no hay mar sin orillas; como no hay vida sin sol; no hay amor, para mí, sin tu amor... Tu eres el verso que canta un himno... Yo, de ese verso, la inspiración... Tú eres el muro de recia piedra; yo soy la hiedra que lo escaló... Tú eres el agua... yo soy la fuente. Tú eres el tallo... yo soy la flor. Uno del otro... los dos unidos... Todo en el mundo de los dos y por los dos. Como no hay días sin noches; como no hay montes sin valles; como no hay sol sin calor; todo en mí son dos almas: ¡tú y yo!... Tú eres el cauce que tiene el río... Yo la corriente que por él va... Tú eres la nube, que blanca pasa... Yo soy la brisa que la hace andar... Tú eres el beso... yo la caricia... Yo soy la barca... tu el capitán... Un del otro, los dos unidos... Todo en el mundo por amor y para amar.

As there are no lands without skies; as there is no sea without shores; as there is no life without sun; there is no love, for me, without your love... You are the verse that sings a hymn... I am the inspiration of that verse... You are the wall of solid stone; I am the ivy that climbed it... You are the water... I am the spring. You are the stem... I am the flower. Each of the other... the two of us joined... Everything in the world of the two and by the two. As there are no days without nights; as there are no mountains without valleys; as there is no sun without warmth; everything in me is two souls: you and I!... You are the bed the river runs in... I am the current that runs through it... You are the cloud that passes, white... I am the breeze that makes it move... You are the kiss... I am the caress... I am the boat... you the captain... Each of the other, the two of us joined... Everything in the world for love and in order to love.
