Verse 1

I want so badly

Or: I want so much

To kiss you in the mornings

Just when you get up

But I'm afraid

But - I have - fear

That you'll look for someone perfect

And I'm just flesh and blood

If I could control time

I'd wait all over again

Once and a thousand times

To see how you wake up

Chorus 1

For the first time, a beautiful sunrise

For the first time, what I want and need

For the first time, heaven sleeps with me today

For the first time, I was born again with you

Verse 2

If I have you, I'm not missing a thing

Or: If I have you, I'm not missing anything

Yesterday was so long and it's already almost tomorrow

To give you the kisses we never gave each other

To tell you beautiful things, I'll always be here

Because I feel good

When you feel good

My life is only life with you

If you're not here, it has no meaning, love

If - you - not - you are (here) - not - it has - sense - love

What I want and need, you and I

Chorus 2

For the first time, a beautiful sunrise

For the first time, what I want and need

For the first time, heaven sleeps with me today

For the first time, I was born again with you

Verse 3

My life is only life with you

If you're not here, it has no meaning, love

What I want and need

My life is only life with you

If you're not here, it has no meaning, love

What I want and need

Chorus 3

For the first time, a beautiful sunrise

For the first time, what I want and need

For the first time, heaven sleeps with me today

For the first time, I was born again with you

Outro

If I could control time

I'd wait all over again

Once and a thousand times

To see how you wake up

amanecer — dawn / to dawn

Amanecer is a beautiful and versatile word that can be both a noun and a verb. As a noun, it means "dawn" or "sunrise", and as a verb, it means "to dawn" or more poetically, "to wake up in the morning".

In this deeply romantic song, Camilo sings "un amanecer bonito" (a beautiful dawn) and "pa' ver cómo amaneces" (to see how you dawn/wake up). He uses this word to describe the magical feeling of waking up next to someone you love for the first time, comparing it to the beauty of a new day beginning.

This song is a duet between Colombian singer Camilo and his wife, Venezuelan artist Evaluna Montaner, and it's all about the magic of experiencing true love for the first time. The lyrics describe a love so powerful it feels like a complete rebirth. Camilo sings, "Por primera vez, yo volví a nacer contigo" [For the first time, I was born again with you], suggesting that this relationship has given him a brand new start in life.

Throughout the song, he expresses a mix of awe and a little bit of insecurity. He admits he's afraid his partner might want someone perfect, while he is just "tan de carne y hueso" [so flesh and blood]. But his devotion is absolute. He feels his life only has meaning with her, saying "Mi vida es vida solo contigo / Si tú no estás, no tiene sentido" [My life is only life with you / If you're not here, it has no meaning]. It's a sweet and deeply personal declaration of finding everything you've ever wanted and needed in one person.
