[English]

I fall in love with the air

And I always do what I want

Let's go back to the moro

And they call us assholes

Who have inside our asses

A little piece of heaven

...

Who registers me at the checkpoints?

Where is the finger pointing blame?

Boss, I came to pick flowers

From a border of love

I didn't see the beach, but you can see the foam

And a cliff falls from your waist

Someone wants to buy something to be able to smoke

And cough, cough, cough and spit

And cough, cough, cough and freak out

...

And if everything changes

I always do what I want

From Colombia to Thailand

And they call us assholes

Who have inside our asses

A little piece of heaven

...

Who registers me at the checkpoints?

Where is the finger pointing blame?

Boss, I came to pick flowers

From a border of love

I didn't see the beach, but you can see the foam

And a cliff falls from your waist

Someone wants to buy something to be able to smoke

And cough, cough, cough and spit

And cough, cough, cough and freak out

...

[Spanish]

Yo del aire me enamoro

Y hago siempre lo que quiero

Vámonos de vuelta al moro

Y nos llaman los culeros

Que traemos dentro del culo

Un pedacito del cielo

¿Quién me registra en los controles?

¿Dónde está el dedo acusador?

Jefe, vengo de coger flores

De una frontera del amor

No vi la playa, pero se ve la espuma

Y un acantilado baja de tu cintura

Alguien quiere comprar, algo pa' poder fumar

Y toser, y toser, y toser y esputar

Y toser, y toser, y toser y flipar

Y si to' to' todo cambia

Yo hago siempre lo que quiero

De Colombia hasta Tailandia

Y nos llaman los culeros

Que traemos dentro del culo

Un pedacito del cielo

¿Quién me registra en los controles?

¿Dónde está el dedo acusador?

Jefe, vengo de coger flores

De una frontera del amor

No vi la playa, pero se ve la espuma

Y un acantilado baja de tu cintura

Alguien quiere comprar algo pa' poder fumar

Y toser, y toser, y toser y esputar

Y toser, y toser, y toser y flipar
