[English]

She's a hurricane, a pro, who comes and goes,

Seeking action, selling only love.

Destroy, step over good and evil,

It’s natural, in her it’s natural.

In moments of relaxation, she powders her nose,

Eloise, Eloise

Pain in your caresses, and tall tales,

I’ll remain your faithful dog, eeeeel

But Eloise is quick like gunpowder,

A serpent in Eden,

Always at full speed

Wherever she goes,

The Hiroshima bomb is

About to explode,

Danger, do not touch,

Her silicone breasts and nitroglycerin,

Eloise, Eloise,

Pain in your caresses,

And tall tales,

I’ll remain your faithful dog, eeeeel

My Eloise, love quickly,

Love standing up, I don’t know why,

You’re hiding something from me,

Your double risk,

I’ll run, I’ll get lost

The fever and pleasure, what can I do, it turned

Into dirty gray dust,

Who would’ve told me.

With so much activity, she torments me mercilessly,

And I can’t take it anymore, faint gaslight

Her silicone breasts and nitroglycerin, Eloise, Eloise,

So many nights I desired you, pain in your caresses,

So many times I’ll curse you, and tall tales,

I was trapped in my own net

Like a spider in captivity, I can’t escape anymore

Oh Eloise,

Without you, my life is

Empty and nothing more

Oh Eloise,

Without you, my life is

Empty and nothing more

[Spanish]

Es un huracán, profesional, que viene y va,

Buscando acción, vendiendo solo amor.

Aniquilar, pisar por encima del bien y el mal,

Es natural, en ella es natural.

En tiempo de relax empolva su nariz,

Eloise, Eloise

Dolor en tus caricias, y cuentos chinos,

Yo seguiré siendo tu perro fiel eeeeel

Mas Eloise es rápida como la pólvora,

Serpiente en el Edén,

Siempre va a cien

Donde quiera que va,

La bomba de Hiroshima está

A punto de estallar,

Peligro no tocar,

Sus pechos goma dos y nitroglicerina,

Eloise, Eloise,

Dolor en tus caricias,

Y cuentos chinos,

Yo seguiré siendo tu perro fiel eeeeel

Mi Eloise, amar deprisa,

Amar de pie, no sé por qué,

Me ocultas algo,

Tu doble riesgo,

Correré, me perderé

La fiebre y el placer, qué puedo hacer, se convirtió

En sucio polvo gris,

Quién me lo iba a decir.

Con tanta actividad me mortifica sin piedad,

Y ya no puedo más, tímida luz de gas

Sus pechos goma dos y nitroglicerina, Eloise, Eloise,

Tantas noches como te deseé, dolor en tus caricias,

Tantas veces te maldeciré, y cuentos chinos,

Yo fui atrapado en mi propia red

Como una araña en cautividad, ya no podré escapar

Ay Eloisa,

Sin ti mi vida está

Vacía y nada más

Ay Eloisa,

Sin ti mi vida está

Vacía y nada más
