The house by the seaLa casa frente al mar
With the twisted treesCon los arboles torcidos
The green meadow and that purple lightEl pravo verde y esa luz purpura

In white with sun-kissed skinDe blanco con la piel
Bronzed by the windBronceada con el viento
On a bike as the sun went downEn bicicleta cuando el sol descendia

With some bougainvillea flowersCon unas flores de bugambilia que
Stolen as we passed byAl pasar robadas para poner
To put in my hair, you came to see me every dayEn mi pelo me venias a ver cada dia

Kissing you, I learned to kissBesandote aprendi a besar
Every tense of the verb 'to love'Cada tiempo del verbo amar
I conjugated it with you from Z to ALo conjugue contigo entre Z y A

Your words smelled of limes and woodOlian a limos y madera tus palabras
Talking about Africa and the Baltic SeaHablando de africa y del mar baltico
You got two roses tattooed next to your heartTe hiciste tatuar juanto al corazon dos rosas
Where your name and mine were intertwinedDonde tu nombre y el mio iban flechados
Suddenly they called me for dinnerDe pronto me llamaban para cenar
And I couldn't even speakY no podia ni casa hablar
We dreamed of running away togetherSoñabanos con que nos fugabamos juntos

The world on the brink of explodingEl mundo a pnto de estallar
And our hands once againY nuestras manos otra vez
Reading in braille the paths of the skinLeyendo en braile los caminos de la piel

Despite all oddsApesar de los pesares
The evils that loveQue los males que el amor
Brings with it, I never forget that, no.Trae consigo nunca olvido aquello,no.
