In The Beginning

I know that what we have is light luggage
That its mileage isn't that high
And everything is always good in the beginning
We aren't kids anymore
But loving you is like a game
I feel every kiss as new
How sweet it is in the beginning
 
But the love that lasts isn't always the same
Because a love that's always the same never lasts forever
 
I know that it doesn't matter that the first kiss goes away
If we still have a life left and even though you don't ask me to
I will make a song for you that affects you the first and the last day
Because loving is much more that falling in love
And love is more than giving, you have to stay
Even though the beginning leaves us
 
Over time we can't conserve it all
I know that we will change in some way
When the beginning ends
When the shy butterflies don't return
When you give me a kiss and I know that there will be more for us to give each other
Because love is more than chemistry and the laws of physics
Promise that we will stay here
 
I know that it doesn't matter that the first kiss goes away
If we still have a life left and even though you don't ask me to
I will make a song for you that affects you the first and the last day
Because loving is much more that falling in love
And love is more than giving, you have to stay
Even though the beginning leaves us
 
And in the end they go
Even though the beginning leaves us
 
But the love that lasts isn't always the same
Because a love that's always the same never lasts forever
 
I know that it doesn't matter that the first kiss goes away
If we still have a life left and even though you don't ask me to
I will make a song for you that affects you the first and the last day
Because loving is much more that falling in love
And love is more than giving, you have to stay
Even though the beginning leaves us
 
And in the end they leave
Even though the beginning leaves us
They leave already
Even though the beginning

Hi de nuevo! :)) Another long comment is on the way :)
Firstly, I think using "earlier days" or "the beginning" as "primeras veces" is more meaningful in English.

"Yo sé que lo nuestro va ligero de equipaje
Que no es tan alto su kilometraje
Y todo siempre es bueno las primeras veces"
I would translate this into
"I know that what we have weighs light as luggage
That its mileage is not that high
And everything is always good in the beginning/ in the earlier days"

"Voy a hacerte una canción que te emocione el primer y último día" - "I am going to make a song for you that touches you/affects you on the first and the last day"
"se nos van" - "goes away from us / leaves us"

That's it! I hope it looks good to you too :)

Hey, thank you again! :)
I changed some of the lyrics. I am not quite sure though about the suggestion to say "in the beginning" instead of "the first times". It would sound a lot smoother, but I think the song means to talk about moments in the beginning and how they change/weaken with time. Therefore I think "first times" reflects more what the song tries to say, but correct me if you think it sounds too weird.

No problem, again :) Well, sure, keep it if you think it makes you feel better. But in English, "first times" is grammatically wrong -as far as I know. In Spanish (and in my native Turkish), we can make words plural after saying "first" but English works a bit differently. -I wish they worked the same though because this way, learning a new language is harder- :))))

Okay, I didn't know about that! Now I changed it.
