Lyrics

Quisiera darte mi niÃ±a
Un viaje a la luna
Que todo aquello que anhelas
Pudiera ser
Y ser tu rayo de luz
En la noche oscura
Que tengas lo que yo nunca
Pude tener
Que mÃ¡s quisiera mi dulce bien
Que ser de tu vida la sustancia
Y ser la fina fragancia, para tu piel
Si ya se han ido perdiendo
Mis esperanzas
Y hoy me pides que te compre
Un reloj Cartier
Te doy mi sol
Calor de un nuevo amanecer
Y una canciÃ³n
Que es como el agua de beber
Te doy mi pan
Que estÃ¡ mojado en el cafÃ© Te doy la sal que el mar
Ha dejado en mi piel
Que mÃ¡s quisiera mi corazÃ³n
Que en un carro nuevo ir a buscarte
Y verte siempre a la moda
ParÃs, New York
Si por mÃ¡s que yo quiera
Es que no me alcanza
Y aÃºn debo aquella cartera
De Christian Dior
Te doy mi Dios
Un beso en el atardecer
Y una canciÃ³n
Que es como el agua de beber
Te doy mi paz
Un niÃ±o que estÃ¡ por nacer
Te doy la sal que el mar
Ha dejado en mi piel
Te doy mi sol
Te doy mi pan
Te doy mi paz
Te doy mi Dios
Te doy mi sal
(Bis)
Te doy mi Dios

Lyrics translation

I'd like to give you my daughter.
A trip to the moon
That all that you long for
It could be
And be your ray of light
In the dark night
That you have what I never
I could have
That more I wish my sweet well
That being of your life the substance
And be the fine fragrance, for your skin
If they've already been lost
My hopes
And today you ask me to buy you
A Cartier watch
I give you my sun
Heat of a new dawn
And a song
That's like drinking water
I give you my bread
That's wet in the coffee I give you salt that the sea
It's left on my skin
What more would my heart like
That in a new car go and get you
And always look fashionable
New York
If as much as I want
It's just not enough for me.
And I still owe that wallet
By Christian Dior
I give you my God
A kiss at sunset
And a song
That's like drinking water
I give you my peace
An unborn child
I give you the salt that the sea
It's left on my skin
I give you my sun
I give you my bread
I give you my peace
I give you my God
I give you my salt
(Bis)
I give you my God
