Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Sí, sí

Yes, yes

Aunque estaba buscando yo sigo guardándote a ti el lugar

Even though I was looking, I still keep your place for you

Y, por más que lo intente yo sé que ninguno te va a cambiar (Mmh)

And, no matter how hard I try, I know that no one will change you (Mmh)

Yo ya casi no duermo por andar mirando mi celular

I hardly sleep anymore because I'm always checking my phone

Por si acaso, a ti se te olvidaba que no me querías llamar

Just in case you forgot that you didn't want to call me

Mi cuerpo te necesita

My body needs you

Mi boca te necesita (Uh, yeh)

My mouth needs you (Uh, yeah)

¿Por qué no vienes ahorita?

Why don't you come right now?

Que me muero por besarte la boca, mamá

Because I'm dying to kiss your mouth, baby

Hace tiempo que me sueño volverla a probar

It's been a while since I've dreamed of tasting it again

Porque bailas como nadie más sabe bailar

Because you dance like no one else knows how to dance

Te pareces a la playa y las olas del mar (Yeh, yeh, yeh, yeh, aoh)

You resemble the beach and the waves of the sea (Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, oh)

Si yo no te tengo me muero (Me muero, no, no)

If I don't have you, I die (I die, no, no)

Tú no estás y me matan los celos

You're not here, and jealousy kills me

Se me va el aire, si tú te vas (No te vayas)

I lose my breath if you leave (Don't go)

Porque la vida se me va yendo

Because life is slipping away from me

Baby, sí, yo te quiero para mí (Para mí, para mí)

Baby, yes, I want you for myself (For myself, for myself)

No te quiero compartir

I don't want to share you

Como hielo en el desierto yo me derrito por ti (Como hielo en el desierto)

Like ice in the desert, I melt for you (Like ice in the desert)

Porque cuando tú estás lejos (Cuando tú no estás)

Because when you're far away (When you're not here)

Siento que me pongo viejo (Viejo)

I feel like I'm getting old (Old)

Que no se me pasa el tiempo

Time doesn't pass for me

Que me muero por besarte la boca, mamá

Because I'm dying to kiss your mouth, baby

Hace tiempo que me sueño volverla a probar

It's been a while since I've dreamed of tasting it again

Porque bailas como nadie más sabe bailar

Because you dance like no one else knows how to dance

Te pareces a la playa y las olas del mar (A la playa, mami)

You resemble the beach and the waves of the sea (To the beach, baby)

Na, na, na, na, eh, yo te quiero conmigo (Yo te quiero conmigo)

Na, na, na, na, eh, I want you with me (I want you with me)

Na, na, na, na, eh, por favor, te lo pido

Na, na, na, na, eh, please, I'm asking you

Na, na, na, na, eh, yo te quiero conmigo

Na, na, na, na, eh, I want you with me

Na, na, na, na, eh, por favor, te lo pido

Mi boca te necesita (Te necesita)

Que me muero por besarte la boca, mamá (Que me muero)

Because I'm dying to kiss your mouth, baby (Because I'm dying)

Hace tiempo que me sueño volverla a probar (Yo la quiero probar)

It's been a while since I've dreamed of tasting it again (I want to taste it)

Porque bailas como nadie más sabe bailar (Yeah)

Because you dance like no one else knows how to dance (Yeah)

Te pareces a la playa y las olas del mar (Del mar, del mar, del mar)

You resemble the beach and the waves of the sea (Of the sea, of the sea, of the sea)

Na, na, na, na, eh, yo te quiero conmigo

Na, na, na, na, eh, I want you with me

Na, na, na, na, eh-eh

Na, na, na, na, eh-eh
