Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.
Haven't felt like this, my dear
Since I can't remember when.
It's been a long, long time
You'll never know how many dreams
Or just how empty they all seemed without you.
So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long, long time.
Ah, kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again.
It's been a long time.
Haven't felt like this my dear
Since I can't remember when
It's been a long, long time.

Never thought that you would be
standing here so close to me
there's so much I feel that I should say
but words can wait until some other day.
Kiss me once and kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again

So kiss me once, then kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again

Oh, kiss me once and kiss me twice
Then kiss me once again
It's been a long such, a long time
I haven't felt like this my dear

It's been a long been a mighty long time
You'll never know how many dreams
I've dreamed about you
Or how empty they all seem without you
So kiss me once and kiss me twice
And kiss me once again
It's been a long long time
It's been a mighty, mighty long time.
Traducción al español:
Nunca pensé que estarías
parado aquí tan cerca de mí,
hay tanto que siento que debería decir
pero las palabras pueden esperar hasta otro dia
Bésame una vez y bésame dos veces
Entonces bésame una vez más
Ha pasado mucho, mucho tiempo
No me he sentido así, querida
Desde que no puedo recordar cuando
Ha pasado mucho, mucho tiempo
Nunca sabrás cuantos sueños
He soñado contigo
O lo vacíos que parecían todos sin ti
Así que bésame una vez, luego bésame dos veces
Entonces bésame una vez más
Ha pasado mucho, mucho tiempo
Oh, bésame una vez y bésame dos veces
Entonces bésame una vez más
Ha sido tanto, mucho tiempo
No me he sentido así querida
Desde que no recuerdo cuando
Ha sido mucho, mucho tiempo
Nunca sabrás cuantos sueños
He soñado contigo
O lo vacíos que parecen todos sin ti
Así que bésame una vez y bésame dos veces
Y bésame una vez más
Ha pasado mucho tiempo
Ha sido un tiempo enorme, tremendo
