the lyrics...

Eres Tu

Como una promesa, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una mañana de verano.
Como una sonrisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Como mi esperanza, eres tú, eres tú.
Como lluvia fresca en mis manos
como fuerte brisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú (algo así eres tú ohhhh)
como el fuego de mi hoguera (algo asi como el fuego de mi hoguera)
eres tu (algo asi eres tu ohhhh)
el trigo de mi pan (mi vida algo asi eres tu).

Como mi poema, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una guitarra en la noche,
todo mi horizonte eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.

Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú (algo así eres tú ohhhh)
como el fuego de mi hoguera (algo asi como el fuego de mi hoguera)
eres tu (algo asi eres tu ohhhh)
el trigo de mi pan (mi vida algo asi eres tu).

Eres tú...

the english translation...

You Are

Versions: #1#2#3

Like a promise, you are, you are [to me]
Like a summer morning.
Like a smile, you are, you are [to me]
That's how, that's how, you are [that's how I perceive you]

You are like my hope, you are, you are [to me]
Like a fresh rain in my hands
Like a strong breeze, you are, you are [to me]
That's how, that's how, you are [that's how I perceive you]

You are the source of my water
You are the warmth in my home
You are (You are something like, ohhhh)
Like the fire in my fireplace (something like the fire from my fireplace)
You are (You are something like, ohhhh)
The wheat of my bread (my love, you are something like that ).

Like my poem, you are, you are [to me]
Like a guitar in the night,
you are all my horizon, you are [to me]
That's how, that's how, you are [that's how I perceive you]

You are the source of my water
You are the warmth in my home
You are (You are something like, ohhhh)
Like the fire in my fireplace (something like the fire from my fireplace)
You are (You are something like, ohhhh)
The wheat of my bread (my love, you are something like that ).

You are...

Cuantas veces soñamos despiertos
En un amor que termino en el silencio
Las flores de mi jardín en invierno
Floreceran por que tu amor fue sincero

Te conformabas con tan solo una mirada
Una sonrisa un gesto sin palabras

Vi mil Ángeles contigo en el cielo
Y mi voz que susurra en tu sueño
Los caminos se uniran en el tiempo
Es un amor que siempre sera eterno (bis)

Hoy el destino que nos separa
Que es el mismo que nos une en el alma
Que pena nunca pude ver tu mirada
Tus sueños se fueron con el alma

Te conformabas con tan solo una mirada
Una sonrisa un gesto sin palabras

Vi mil Ángeles contigo en el cielo
Y mi voz que susurra en tu sueño
Los caminos se uniran en el tiempo
Es un amor que siempre sera eterno (bis)
