Can anyone give me the Spanish lyrics to "Eres Tu"? It was a hit, in the mid 70s I think, for a band called Mocedades. (Eydie Gorme also did a version called "Touch the Wind", on which she sang in both Spanish and English.) I'd also appreciate any information about who wrote it. Thank you in advance!

Touch The Wind (Eres Tú)
(Mocedades
Juan Carlos Calderón -- Mike Hawker)

I woke up this morning and my mind fell away
and looking back sadly from tomorrow
as I heard an echo from the past softly say
come back, come back, won't you stay?
I wanted to reach you, let you know I still care
and lost in the silence of my sorrow
I put a promise in the wind, on the air, to fly away to you there
 
Touch the wind. Catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and I'll be close to you
I'll be easy to find
on the winds of the morning I'll come sailing
I'll be easy to find
and, baby, I'll be close to you
 
And only forever can I say I love you
and only forever have I lost you
but only a dreamer could wake up as I do and hope it's still yesterday
 
Touch the wind. Catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and I'll be close to you
I'll be easy to find
on the winds of the morning I'll come sailing
I'll be easy to find
and, baby, I'll be close to you
 
Touch the wind...

Eres Tú (Spanish)
Words and music by Juan Carlos Calderón
Letra y música de Juan Carlos Calderón
 
Como una promesa, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una mañana de verano.
Como una sonrisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
 
Toda mi esperanza, eres tú, eres tú.
Como lluvia fresca en mis manos
como fuerte brisa, eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
 
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente (algo así eres tú)
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú como el fuego de mi hoguera
Eres tú el trigo de mi pan.
 
Como mi poema, eres tú, eres tú.
Como una guitarra en la noche,
todo mi horizonte eres tú, eres tú.
Así, así, eres tú.
 
Eres tú como el agua de mi fuente (algo así eres tú)
Eres tú el fuego de mi hogar
Eres tú como el fuego de mi hoguera
Eres tú el trigo de mi pan.
 
Eres tú...

Eres tú (You are)

Ésta es una traducción directamente al inglés de la letra de Eres Tú para quien
es no saben el español pero desean entender lo que quiere decir la letra. Esta
traducción directa no tiene nada que ver con la letra de Touch The Wind grabada
por Mocedades como una versión en inglés de Eres Tú.
 
Like a promise, you are, you are
Like a summer morning
Like a smile, you are, you are
Like that, like that, you are
All my hope, you are, you are
Like fresh rain in my hands
Like a strong breeze, you are, you are; like that, like that, you are
You are like the water of my fountain (something like that, you are)
You are the fire of my fireplace
You are like the fire of my bonfire
You are the wheat of my bread
 
Like my poem, you are, you are
Like a guitar in the night
My whole horizon you are, you are; like that, like that, you are
 
You are like the water of my fountain (something like that, you are)
You are the fire of my fireplace
You are like the fire of my bonfire
You are the wheat of my bread
 
You are...

Written by Mike Hawker

Adapted by Eres tú by Juan Carlos Calderón

I woke up this morning and my mind fell away
And looking back sadly from tomorrow
As I heard an echo from the past softly say
Come back, come back, won’t you stay?

I wanted to reach you, let you know I still care (I still care)
And lost in the silence of my sorrow
I put a promise in the wind, on the air
To fly away to you there

Touch the wind, catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and I’ll be close to you

(Touch the wind…) I’ll be easy to find
(Catch my love as it goes sailing)
On the winds of the morning I’ll come sailing

(Touch the wind…) I’ll be easy to find
(And I’ll be close to you)
Baby, I’ll be close to you

And only forever can I say I love you
And only forever have I lost you
But only a dreamer could wake up as I do
And hope it’s still yesterday

(Nananana… nananana na…)

Touch the wind, catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and i’ll be close to you

(Touch the wind…) I’ll be easy to find
(Catch my love as it goes sailing)
On the winds of the morning I’ll come sailing

(Touch the wind…) I’ll be easy to find
(And I’ll be close to you)
Baby, I’ll be close to you

Alasdair Gillies

I woke up this morning and my mind fell away
And looking back sadly from tomorrow
As I heard an echo from the past softly say
Come back, come back, won’t you stay?

I wanted to reach you, let you know I still care
And lost in the silence of my sorrow
And I put a promise in the wind, on the air
To fly away to you there

Touch the wind, catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and I’ll be close to you
Touch the wind catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and I’ll be close to you


And only forever can I say I love you
And only forever have I lost you
But only a dreamer could wake up as I do
And hope it’s still yesterday

Touch the wind, catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and I’ll be close to you
Touch the wind catch my love as it goes sailing
Touch the wind and I’ll be close to youx2
