Antología [English translation]

To love you I need a reason

and it's hard to believe

that it doesn't exist another than this love

there is a lot left over inside this heart

To think of what they say...

wisdom comes with age

Pain is still felt...

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

I think I gained 3 pounds with you

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 feet from the pavement, so..

both could escape flying for a while

But you forgot one last instruction

because i dont 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 one hundred 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
