Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Y todo en un minuto

And everything in a minute

Yo estaba en la cocina

I was in the kitchen

Me abrazó por la espalda

She hugged me from behind

Y me dijo al oído

And whispered in my ear

Que le encanta ir a la cama conmigo

That she loves going to bed with me

Pero, no quiere nada más

But she doesn't want anything more

...

...

Encendí un cigarro

I lit a cigarette

Y me miró a los ojos

And she looked me in the eyes

Abroché su camisa

I buttoned her shirt

Y se cruzó de piernas

And she crossed her legs

Y le encanta ir a la cama conmigo

And she loves going to bed with me

Pero no quiere nada, nada más

But she doesn't want anything, nothing more

Ella dijo

She said

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

Ella dijo

She said

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

...

...

Ya eran las 12

It was already 12

Debía irme de viaje

I had to leave for a trip

Qué suerte con las giras

What luck with the tours

Que luego iba a llamarme

That she would call me later

Porque le encanta ir a la cama conmigo

Because she loves going to bed with me

Pero, no quiere nada más

But she doesn't want anything more

...

...

Me dijo: "Yo te quiero

She told me: "I love you

Aquí esta mi cariño

Here is my affection

Ahora no me atrevo es que

Now I don't dare because

Ya no somos niños

We are no longer kids

Aunque me encanta ir a la cama contigo

Although I love going to bed with you

Pero no quiero nada, nada más"

But I don't want anything, nothing more"

Ella dijo

She said

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

Ella dijo

She said

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

...

...

Durmiendo en su casa

Sleeping at her house

Los jeanes en el suelo

The jeans on the floor

Mientras me abrazaba

While she hugged me

Me dijo sonriendo: "Manuel

She said smiling: "Manuel

Me encanta ir a la cama contigo

I love going to bed with you

Pero no quiero nada, nada más"

But I don't want anything, nothing more"

Ella dijo

She said

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

Ella dijo

She said

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

Ella dijo

She said

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

Ella dijo

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

You are not my love

Y yo dije

And I said

No eres mi amor

Grammar:

• Me abrazó por la espalda

  ➔ Preterite (simple past) of reflexive verb 'abrazar'

  ➔ This sentence uses the preterite tense to describe a completed action in the past. The reflexive pronoun "me" indicates that the action is performed on the subject (he/she embraced *me*).

• Que le encanta ir a la cama conmigo

  ➔ Indirect statement with 'que' and subjunctive mood implication; idiom 'ir a la cama con'

  ➔ "Que le encanta ir a la cama conmigo" is an indirect statement. While not explicitly subjunctive, the implied emotion (liking/loving) after "encanta" often leads to the use of the subjunctive in other constructions. "Ir a la cama con" is an idiomatic expression for having sex with someone.

• Pero, no quiere nada más

  ➔ Negative pronoun 'nada' after verb

  ➔ In Spanish, negative pronouns like "nada" often follow the verb and require "no" before the verb for a double negative construction. Even though it translates literally as "nothing more", the "no" ensures the negative meaning.

• Debía irme de viaje

  ➔ Imperfect tense of 'deber' expressing obligation/expectation; Idiomatic expression 'irse de viaje'

  ➔ "Debía" in the imperfect tense of "deber" implies that it was expected or necessary for him to leave on a trip. "Irme de viaje" is an idiomatic expression meaning "to go on a trip/journey".

• Qué suerte con las giras

  ➔ Exclamatory sentence with 'qué' + noun

  ➔ "Qué suerte" is an exclamatory phrase expressing surprise or admiration about the luck associated with tours ("giras"). It emphasizes the perceived good fortune of touring.

• Ahora no me atrevo es que

  ➔ Emphatic construction using 'es que'

  ➔ The phrase "es que" is used to emphasize the reason that follows. It provides a more forceful explanation than simply saying "porque" (because). It can also be used to soften a statement or to provide an excuse.

• Ya no somos niños

  ➔ Negative adverb 'ya no' + Ser + Noun

  ➔ 'Ya no' expresses the idea of 'not anymore'. The sentence states a condition that doesn't exist anymore; they are not kids now.

• Mientras me abrazaba

  ➔ Imperfect Subjunctive (past continuous) with 'mientras'

  ➔ 'Mientras' suggests a simultaneous action in the past, and in this case is followed by the imperfect subjunctive to denote an ongoing action at the time. 'Abrazaba' is the imperfect subjunctive, indicating that the action of embracing was happening over a period of time in the past.
