La conoció en la escalera I met her on the stairs 00:14
De un bar de carretera Of a roadside bar 00:17
Andaba sola y perdida Walking alone and lost 00:21
Con ganas de hablar con cualquiera Eager to talk to anyone 00:23
Era de noche y a oscuras It was nighttime and dark 00:27
Rozó su tímida cintura She brushed her shy waist 00:30
Sintieron todas las ganas They all felt the same desire 00:34
De perder la cabeza en la luna To lose their minds in the moon 00:36
Loca Crazy 00:40
Deja que te coma la boca Let my mouth consume you 00:41
Deja que pasen hoy las horas Let the hours flow today 00:45
Perdiéndote en su risa floja Losing yourself in her light laugh 00:48
De tanto amor que se derrocha With so much love spilling over 00:51
Sus manos y su lengua rota Her hands and broken tongue 00:55
Tan frágiles se le deshoja So fragile, she sheds her petals 00:58
Se deshicieron de las sombras They got rid of the shadows 01:01
Dale todo lo que tengas Give her everything you have 01:06
Dentro de tu corazón tan triste Inside your so sad heart 01:09
Quiere ser tu luz del día She wants to be your daytime light 01:12
Y tu descontrol en la noche mas fría And your chaos on the coldest night 01:16
Y te diría mi amor And I’d tell you, my love 01:19
Quédate conmigo Stay with me 01:24
La noche que se quisieron The night they loved each other 01:29

Perdiendo el norte en sus besos Losing control in their kisses 01:37
Bajo de la escalera Under the stairs 01:42
Esa que fue testigo That watched over 01:45
De un túpido cuento A scorching story 01:49
De sexo, calor y de vicio Of sex, heat, and vice 01:51
Loca Crazy 01:54
Deja que te coma la boca Let my mouth consume you 01:56
Deja que pasen hoy las horas Let the hours flow today 01:59

Dentro de tu corazón tan triste Give her everything you have 03:33
Quiere ser tu luz del día Inside your so sad heart 03:37
Y tu descontrol en la noche mas fría She wants to be your daytime light 03:40

Lyrics & Translation

[English] I met her on the stairs
Of a roadside bar
Walking alone and lost
Eager to talk to anyone
It was nighttime and dark
She brushed her shy waist
They all felt the same desire
To lose their minds in the moon
Crazy
Let my mouth consume you
Let the hours flow today
Losing yourself in her light laugh
With so much love spilling over
Her hands and broken tongue
So fragile, she sheds her petals
They got rid of the shadows
Give her everything you have
Inside your so sad heart
She wants to be your daytime light
And your chaos on the coldest night
And I’d tell you, my love
Stay with me
The night they loved each other
Lasted as long as they could
They tore off their skin
Losing control in their kisses
Under the stairs
That watched over
A scorching story
Of sex, heat, and vice
Crazy
Let my mouth consume you
Let the hours flow today
Losing yourself in her light laugh
With so much love spilling over
Her hands and broken tongue
So fragile, she sheds her petals
They got rid of the shadows
And give her everything you have
Inside your so sad heart
She wants to be your daytime light
And your chaos on the coldest night
And I’d tell you, my love
Stay with me

As mysterious as was
The whereabouts of her wallet
Her being or her sincerest caresses
Was not enough for you
To be, for one night, her princess
Give her everything you have
Inside your so sad heart
She wants to be your daytime light
And your chaos on the coldest night
And I’d tell you, my love
Stay with me
