I Was Looking for Love

Buscaba Amor

I was looking for loveBuscaba amor
In the perfume of a flowerEn el perfume de una flor
I was looking in a treeBuscaba en un árbol
For joy and loveLa alegría y el amor
But the flower had thornsPero espinas tuvo la flor
And the tree was a crossY el árbol fue una cruz
I kept searching without finding the lightYo seguía buscando sin hallar la luz

I was looking for loveBuscaba amor
In the song of a birdEn el canto de un ave
I was looking for loveBuscaba amor
In the sin of friendshipsEn el sin de amistades
But the song bored mePero el canto me aburrió
Friendship always failedLa amistad siempre falló
I lost hope of finding loveYo perdí la esperanza de hallar amor

But one day I heard the storyPero un día escuché la historia
Of a love like I had never heardDe un amor como nunca oí
Christ came into the world to save meCristo vino al mundo a salvarme
And gave his life for me, for me and for youY dio su vida para mí, para mí y para ti

Now I know what love isAhora yo sé lo que es el amor
It's not the song of a bird, nor the scent of a flowerNo es canto de un ave, ni el aroma de una flor
It's communion with GodEs la comunión con Dios
I feel His presence in meSu presencia siento en mí
And I know He loves me and loves you tooY yo sé que me ama y te ama a ti

But one day I heard the storyPero un día escuché la historia
Of a love like I had never heardDe un amor como nunca oí
Christ came into the world to save meCristo vino al mundo a salvarme
And gave his life for me, for me and for youY dio su vida para mí, para mí y para ti

Now I know what love isAhora yo sé lo que es el amor
It's not the song of a bird, nor the scent of a flowerNo es canto de un ave, ni el aroma de una flor

...And I know He loves meY yo sé que me ama
And loves you tooY te ama a ti
