Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

...

...

Debe ser el perfume que usas

It must be the perfume you wear

O el agua con la que te bañas

Or the water you bathe with

Pero cada cosita que haces

But every little thing you do

A mí me parece una hazaña

Seems like a feat to me

Me besaste esa noche

You kissed me that night

Cual si fuera el único día de tu boca

As if it were your mouth's only day

Cada vez que me acuerdo

Every time I remember

Yo siento en mi pecho el peso de una roca

I feel the weight of a rock in my chest

Son tus ojos marrones

It's your brown eyes

Con esa veta verdosa

With that greenish streak

Es tu cara de niño

It's your boyish face

Y esa risa nerviosa

And that nervous laugh

I'm addicted to you

I'm addicted to you

Porque es un vicio tu piel

Because your skin is a vice

Baby, I'm addicted to you

Baby, I'm addicted to you

Quiero que te dejes querer

I want you to let yourself be loved

I'm addicted to you

I'm addicted to you

Porque es un vicio tu piel

Because your skin is a vice

Baby, I'm addicted to you

Baby, I'm addicted to you

Quiero que te dejes querer

I want you to let yourself be loved

...

...

Por el puro placer de flotar

For the pure pleasure of floating

Ahora sí me llevó la corriente

Now the current's carried me away

Ya no puedo dormir ni comer

I can't sleep or eat anymore

Como lo hace la gente decente

Like decent people do

Tu recuerdo ha quedado

Your memory has remained

Así como un broche prendido a mi almohada

Like a brooch pinned to my pillow

Y tú, en cambio, que tienes memoria de pez

And you, on the other hand, who has the memory of a fish

No te acuerdas de nada

You don't remember anything

Son tus manos de hombre

It's your man's hands

Y el olor de tu espalda

And the scent of your back

Lo que no tiene nombre

What has no name

Lo logró tu mirada

Your gaze achieved it

I'm addicted to you

I'm addicted to you

Porque es un vicio tu piel

Because your skin is a vice

Baby, I'm addicted to you

Baby, I'm addicted to you

Quiero que te dejes querer

I want you to let yourself be loved

I'm addicted to you

I'm addicted to you

Porque es un vicio tu piel

Because your skin is a vice

Baby, I'm addicted to you

Baby, I'm addicted to you

Quiero que te dejes querer

I want you to let yourself be loved

...

...

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

Oh oh oh oh, ooh

...
