Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Yo empecé a besarte los labios y hacerte caricias

I started kissing your lips and caressing you

Después un botón y el otro botón y se llama la escuelita

Then one button, then another button, and they call it "the little school"

...

...

El sol ya estaba cayendo

The sun was already setting

Cuando me diste tu cuerpo

When you gave me your body

Cuando me diste tus besos

When you gave me your kisses

Cuando me diste tu amor

When you gave me your love

Y ahora ya no te acuerdas

And now you don't remember

Se te borro de la mente

It's all erased from your mind

Que en éste pasto tan verde la ropa nos estorbo

That on this green grass, our clothes got in the way

Y empecé a besarte los labios

And I started kissing your lips

Y hacerte caricias después un botón, (y el otro botón)

And caressing you, then one button, (and the other button)

Nos quitamos la ropa en segundos

We took off our clothes in seconds

Y entre mariposas y flores hermosas yo te hice el amor

And among butterflies and beautiful flowers, I made love to you

Ahora dices que ya no te acuerdas

Now you say you don't remember

Que no me conoces, no sabes quien soy

That you don’t recognize me, you don’t know who I am

Pues yo soy tu maestro chiquita

Well, I’m your little teacher

Aquel que en el campo tenia su escuellta y amar

The one who in the field had his little school and loved

Asi te enseñaba mija

That’s how I taught you, girl

...

...

Y empecé a besarte los labios

And I started kissing your lips

Y hacerte caricias después un botón, (y el otro botón)

And caressing you, then one button, (and the other button)

Nos quitamos la ropa en segundos

We took off our clothes in seconds

Y entre mariposas y flores hermosas yo te hice el amor

And among butterflies and beautiful flowers, I made love to you

Ahora dices que ya no te acuerdas

Now you say you don't remember

Que no me conoces, no sabes quien soy

That you don’t recognize me, you don’t know who I am

Pues yo soy tu maestro chiquita

Well, I’m your little teacher

Aquel que en el campo tenia su escuellta y amar te enseño

The one who in the field had his little school and loved you

...
