Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

No quisiera ya estar en casa

I don't want to be at home anymore

Me pregunto, ¿tú dónde estarás?

I wonder, where could you be?

En el viejo parque te voy a esperar

I'll wait for you at the old park

Ojalá otras chicas no te quieran visitar

Hopefully other girls won't want to visit you

Sabes que juntos podríamos andar

You know we could walk together

Si me dices no, no me voy a agüitar

If you say no, I won't get upset

Sólo quiero tus labios besar

I just want to kiss your lips

Pero tú sólo me quieres abrazar

But you only want to hold me

...

...

Sé que le tienes miedo a mi papá

I know you're afraid of my dad

Cuando estamos solos te noto sonrojar

When we're alone, I notice you blush

Admite, conmigo también quieres estar

Admit it, you also want to be with me

Acurrucados bajo el árbol de navidad

Cuddled under the Christmas tree

Las canciones de JuanGa podríamos bailar

We could dance to JuanGa's songs

Bajo las estrellas en el patio de tu mamá

Under the stars in your mom's yard

No te estreses déjate llevar

Don't stress, just go with the flow

Pero eres el único con el que quiero estar

But you're the only one I want to be with

...

...

Contigo quiero estar

I wanna be with you

Contigo quiero estar

I wanna be with you

...

...
