Lyrics

Como tú vida mía
Yo no encuentro en la tierra otra mujer
La he buscado en Namibia, en los Alpes
y en los Champs-Elysées
He cruzado los mares
y de paso subí en la torre Eiffel
Caminé por Manhattan
y llegué al Empire State
Como tú no hay en ésta vida
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
(Como tú me comprendes)
Como tú no hay quien me acaricie
(Como tú me acaricias)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
Vana mi travesía (oh, no)
Al buscar otro amor igual que tú (yeh, yeh)
No lo hallé en Barcelona, (oh, no)
en Los Angeles ni en Kuala Lumpur (yeh, yeh)
Recorrí Bariloche (oh, no)
y no pude encontrarlo en el Big Ben (yeh, yeh)
y de paso por Tokyo
yo viajé en el Shinkansen,
Como tú no hay en ésta vida
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
(Como tú me comprendes)
Como tú no hay quien me acaricie
(Como tú me acaricias)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
Es que un amor como el tuyo
es para siempre
Vuela sobre manantiales
y continentes (te digo yo que sí)
Riza las nubes del cielo
Besa las olas del alba
Gime con la madrugada
Ama sin pedirme nada
que tú me gustas
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
(Como tú me comprendes)
Como tú no hay quien me acaricie
(Como tú me acaricias)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
(Como tú, nadie como tú, como tú)
(como tú, como tú, como tú)
Como tú no hay en ésta vida
(Como tú no hay ninguna)
Pero que como tú no hay quien me comprenda
(Como tú me comprendes)
Y como tú no hay quien me acaricie
(Como tú me acaricias)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
(Como tú)
Como tú no hay en ésta vida
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
(Como tú me comprendes)
Y como tú no hay quien me acaricie (ye, yé, ye, yé)
(Como tú me acaricias)
Ni en la China ni en la Siberia
(Como tú, nadie como tú, como tú)
(como tú, como tú, nadie como tú, como tú)
Como tú no hay quien me comprenda
(Como tú me comprendes)
Y como tú no hay quien me acaricie
(Como tú me acaricias)
Como tú no hay en ésta vida
(Como tú, nadie como tú, como tú)

Lyrics translation

Like your life of mine
I find no other woman on Earth
I've been looking for her in Namibia, in the Alps
and on the Champs-Elysees
I've crossed the seas
and by the way I climbed the Eiffel Tower
I walked around Manhattan
and I got to Empire State.
There is no such thing as you in this life
(Like you there is no)
Like you, there's no one who understands me.
(As you understand me)
Like you there is no one to caress me
(As you caress me)
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Like you there is no)
Vain my journey (oh, no)
Looking for another love just like you (yeh, yeh)
I didn't find it in Barcelona, (Oh, no)
in Los Angeles or Kuala Lumpur (yeh, yeh)
I toured Bariloche (Oh, no)
and I couldn't find it in the Big Ben (yeh, yeh)
and passing through Tokyo
I traveled on the Shinkansen,
There is no such thing as you in this life
(Like you there is no)
Like you, there's no one who understands me.
(As you understand me)
Like you there is no one to caress me
(As you caress me)
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Like you there is no)
Is that a love like yours
it's forever
Fly over Springs
and continents (I say yes)
Raise the clouds of the sky
Kiss the waves of Dawn
Moan with the dawn
Love without asking me anything
that I like you
(Like you there is no)
Like you, there's no one who understands me.
(As you understand me)
Like you there is no one to caress me
(As you caress me)
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Like you, no one like you, like you)
(like you, like you, like you)
There is no such thing as you in this life
(Like you there is no)
But like you there is no one who understands me
(As you understand me)
And like you there is no one to caress me
(As you caress me)
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Like you)
There is no such thing as you in this life
Like you, there's no one who understands me.
(As you understand me)
And like you there is no one to caress me (ye, ye, ye, ye)
(As you caress me)
Neither in China nor in Siberia
(Like you, no one like you, like you)
(like you, like you, no one like you, like you)
Like you, there's no one who understands me.
(As you understand me)
And like you there is no one to caress me
(As you caress me)
There is no such thing as you in this life
(Like you, no one like you, like you)
