Por eso te quiero...
Language: Spanish (Español) 
Our translations:  ENG
Te quiero por tu cara de rosa
Te quiero por tus ojos divinos
Te quiero porque sé que lloraste
en mis días de ausencia, de triste soledad.

Te quiero porque eres más que Santa
Te quiero porque eres mi alegria
Te quiero porque sé que me adoras
Te quiero, te querré hasta morir.

That is why I love you...
Language: English  after the Spanish (Español) 
I love you for your rosy face,
I love you for your divine eyes,
I love you because I know that you cried
in the days of my absence, of sad solitude.

I love you because you are more than saintly,
I love you because you are my happiness,
I love you because I know that you adore me,
I love you, I will love you until I die.
