Para amarte 
necesito una razón
Y es difícil creer que no exista
una más que este amor
Sobra tanto 
Dentro de este corazón
Y a pesar de que dicen
que los años son sabios
todavía se siente el dolor
Porque todo el tiempo
que pasé junto a ti
Dejó tejido su hilo dentro de mi
Y aprendí a quitarle al tiempo los segundos 
Tú mi hiciste
ver el cielo aún más profundo 
Junto a ti creo
Que aumenté más de 3 kilos 
Con tus tantos dulces besos repartidos
Desarollaste mi sentido
del olfato 
Y fue por ti que
aprendí a querer los gatos
Despegaste del cemento
mis zapatos 
Para escapar
los dos volando un rato
Pero olvidaste 
Una final instrucción 
Porque aún no se 
Cómo vivir sin tu amor
Y descubrí lo que
significa una rosa
Me enseñaste a decir
mentiras piadosas
Para poder a verte
a horas no adecuadas
Y a reemplazar palabras
por miradas
Y fue por ti que escribí más
de 100 canciones
Y hasta perdoné tus
Equivocaciones
Y conocí más de mil formas de besar
y fue por ti que descubrí
lo que es amar…
lo que es amar…
To love you 
I need a reason
And it’s hard to believe that it doesn’t exist other than this love
There is a lot left 
Inside this heart
Beside of what they say
That the years are wisdom
I still feel pain
Because all the time 
I spent near you
left its thread, woven in me
And I learned to take out seconds from time…
You made me 
see the sky deeper
By your side I think 
I gained 3 pounds
With your sweet kisses you gave me
You developed my sense 
of smell 
And because of you 
I learned to like cats
You freed my shoes 
from the pavement, 
So both could escape 
flying for a while
But you forgot 
One last instruction
Because I don’t know 
How to live without your love yet
I learned 
the significance of a rose
You taught me 
how to tell white lies
So I could see you 
at improper hours
And to replace words 
with a gaze
And it was because of you
that I wrote more than 100 songs
I even forgave 
your mistakes 
And I discovered a thousand ways to kiss
And because of you, I know 
what it is to love…
what it is to love…
