[English]

I have a nose itch that's really bothersome

It happens the same in Vigo as in Madrid

I don't know why when I get really nervous

I get an irresistible itch in my nose

If there's an important exam at school

Or my dad scolds me about my grades

That itching suddenly comes over me, exciting

And unfortunately, it makes me sneeze

Ah ah Achoo!

How my nose itches

How my nose itches

I can't resist anymore

How my nose itches

The other day I met a pretty girl

And I instantly asked her to go for a walk

But she left very scared

When she saw me sneeze like that

If I'm a goalie at a neighborhood game

And an attacker kicks a shot

I get so scared when they shoot at the goal

That I end up sneezing and they score

Ah ah Achoo!

How my nose itches

How my nose itches

I can't resist anymore

How my nose itches

If I go to the movies and there's a scary film

Or a cowboy movie with fights breaking out

When the show ends, I'm all alone

Because I can't stop sneezing

The other day I was invited to a show

Where I had to demonstrate my wit

They asked if I knew anything

And I told them I knew how to sneeze

Ah ah Achoo!

How my nose itches

How my nose itches

I can't resist anymore

How my nose itches

(Faster)

How my nose itches

How my nose itches

I can't resist anymore

How my nose itches

(Much faster)

How my nose itches

How my nose itches

I can't resist anymore

How my nose itches

...

[Spanish]

Tengo un defecto en la nariz que es muy molesto

Que me sucede igual en Vigo que en Madrid

No sé porque cuando me pongo muy nervioso

Me da un picor irresistible en la nariz

Si en el colegio hay un exámen importante

O por las notas me regaña mi papá

Me da enseguida ese picor tan excitante

Que por desgracia siempre me hace estornudar

¡Ah ah Achís!

Cómo me pica la nariz

Cómo me pica la nariz

Ya no lo puedo resistir

Cómo me pica la nariz

El otro día conocí una chica guapa

Y de inmediato la invité a pasear

Pero la chica se marchó muy asustada

Cuando me vió de aquella forma estornudar

Si un partido de mi barrio soy portero

Y en un avance el delantero va a chutar

Me da tal miedo cuando chutan a la puerta

Que meten gol porque me pongo a estornudar

Ah ah achís

Cómo me pica la nariz

Cómo me pica la nariz

Ya no lo puedo resistir

Cómo me pica la nariz

Si voy al cine y hay película de miedo

O es de vaqueros y se empiezan a pelear

Cuando termina la función estoy yo solo

Pues me la paso sin parar de estornudar

El otro día me invitaron a un programa

Donde mi ingenio yo debía demostrar

Me preguntaron si sabía alguna cosa

Y yo le dije que sabía estornudar

Ah ah Achís

Cómo me pica la nariz

Cómo me pica la nariz

Ya no lo puedo resistir

Cómo me pica la nariz

(Más rápido)

Cómo me pica la nariz

Cómo me pica la nariz

Ya no lo puedo resistir

Cómo me pica la nariz

(Mucho más rápido)

Cómo me pica la nariz

Cómo me pica la nariz

Ya no lo puedo resistir

Cómo me pica la nariz
