Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Aunque puedo no pensarte, sí te pienso

Even though I may not think of you, I do think of you

Y aunque tengo la manera de olvidarte, no te borro de mi piel

And even though I have a way to forget you, I won't erase you from my skin

Simplemente, porque no me da la gana

Simply because I don't feel like it

Y alégale al umpire, a ver si un día le ganas

Cheer up, Umpire, maybe one day you'll win

Solo acuérdate que todo santo tiene su momento

Just remember that every saint has his moment

Lo que aquí te digo es sugerencia, no es ningún consejo

What I tell you here is a suggestion, not advice

No le des a nadie más todos los besos que son míos

Don't give everyone else all the kisses that are mine

Dale de otros, dale de esos que carecen de sentido

Give them to others, those that lack meaning

Y los míos me los guardas para cuando pase el tiempo

And save mine for when enough time has passed

Pa cuando la vida nos regale otro momento

So that life can give us another moment

Sí, puedes usar los labios, que yo también voy a usarlos

Yes, you can use your lips, I’ll use mine too

Pero en besos desechables, los demás voy a guardarlos

But with disposable kisses, I’ll keep the others

Como te besaba a ti, la neta, yo no beso a nadie

The way I used to kiss you, honestly, I don't kiss anyone

Puedo hacer de todo, pero las mentiras no me salen

I can do everything, but lying doesn’t come to me

Tú dale tranquila, vive el mundo, vive tu momento

Take it easy, live your world, enjoy your moment

Que aquí te esperamos mis canciones, yo y todos mis besos

Because here we’re waiting with my songs, and all my kisses

Y yo aquí te seguiré esperando, chiquitita

And I’ll keep waiting here for you, little one

Y puro Grupo Firme, ¡uh-ah!

And only Grupo Firme, uh-ah!

No le des a nadie más a todos los besos que son míos

Don’t give to anyone else all the kisses that are mine

Dale de otros, dale de esos que carecen de sentido

Give them to others, those that lack meaning

Y los míos me los guardas para cuando pase el tiempo

And save mine for when enough time has passed

Pa cuando la vida nos regale otro momento

So that life can give us another moment

Sí, puedes usar los labios, que yo también voy a usarlos

Yes, you can use your lips, I’ll use mine too

Pero en besos desechables, los demás voy a guardarlos

But with disposable kisses, I’ll keep the others

Como te besaba a ti, la neta, yo no beso a nadie

The way I used to kiss you, honestly, I don't kiss anyone

Puedo hacer de todo, pero las mentiras no me salen

I can do everything, but lying doesn’t come to me

Tú dale tranquila, vive el mundo, vive tu momento

Take it easy, live your world, enjoy your moment

Que aquí te esperamos mis canciones, yo y todos mis besos

Because here we’re waiting with my songs, and all my kisses

Guárdame los besos que son míos

Save the kisses that are mine
