Quisiera darte, mi niña, un viaje a la Luna
Que todo lo que tú anhelas pudiera ser
Y ser un rayo de luz en la noche oscura
Que tengas lo que yo nunca pude tener
Qué más 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 canción que es como el agua de beber
Te doy mi pan, que está mojado en el café
Te doy la sal que el mar ha dejado en mi piel
Qué más quisiera, mi corazón, que, en un carro nuevo, ir a buscarte
Y verte siempre a la moda París-New York
Si por más que yo te quiera, es que no me alcanza
Y aún debo aquella cartera de Christian Dior
Te doy mi voz, un beso en el atardecer
Y una canción que es como el agua de beber
Te doy mi paz, un niño que está 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
Te doy mi sol, te doy mi pan
Te doy mi paz, te doy mi dios, te doy mi sal
Te doy mi dios
