[English]

My heart already knows that I'm going out with you

For God's sake, I ask you, girl, to give him affection

Think, and I ask you, my love

Along with him, I suffer

I don't want them to whisper in my ears

...

Let everyone know that I'm more than a friend

Kisses, a thousand honey kisses

...

They run across your skin, my skin

Then you'll tell me how much

You will love me

Holding me tight

Embracing me

...

Lalaira la la laira lalala laira

Lalaira la la laira lalala laira

...

Kisses, a thousand honey kisses

...

They run across your skin, my skin

My heart already knows that I'm going out with you

...

For God's sake, I ask you, girl, to give him affection

...

My heart already knows that I'm going out with you

...

For God's sake, I ask you, girl, to give him affection

...

[Spanish]

Mi corazón, ya sabe que salgo contigo

Por Dios, te pido niña, que le des cariño

Piensa, y te pido mi amor

Junto con él, sufro yo

No quiero que murmuren en los oídos

Que todos sepan ya, que soy más que amigo

Besos, mil besos de miel

Corren, por toda tu piel, mi piel

Luego, me dirás cuánto

Me amarás

Estrechándome

Abrazándome

Lalaira la la laira lalala laira

Lalaira la la laira lalala laira

Besos, mil besos de miel

Corren, por toda tu piel, mi piel

Mi corazón ya sabe que salgo contigo

Por Dios, te pido niña, que le des cariño

Mi corazón ya sabe que salgo contigo

Por Dios te pido niña que le des cariño
