[English]

Chatting with my four buddies,

Even the lamest acts all tough.

They complained there’s no real ones left,

I shut them up by mentioning one.

They said, “Yeah, he walks the walk,”

“The one from Seville, my homie Kike.”

No comparison—he’s in another league,

He’s genuine, a Champion and Just.

Rightly so, they praise his name,

Not just lip service, let me make it plain.

I’m a dreamer and life’s outlaw, but I’m in love,

In love with each of my girls—I feel loved.

In love. Street champion, but still in love.

From the spite of gossipers, I stay far above.

Now you know.

El Kike’s soul is mercenary,

Yet only his three girls rule his world.

Thank God for my Amparo and Lala,

And my little Nadia, my precious pearl.

I want nothing from anyone at all,

No one can lay claim to my call.

I’m a dreamer and life’s outlaw, but I’m in love,

In love with each of my girls—I feel loved.

In love. Champion of the street’s battle, but in love.

From the spite of gossipers, I stay far above.

Now you know.

Champion of the street’s battle, but in love,

In love with each of my girls—I feel loved.

In love.

[Spanish]

Charlando con mis cuatro colegas,

Que hasta el más mier se las da de fiera.

Se quejaban de que ya no hay puros,

Yo les callé al mencionar a uno.

Dijeron si, ese por los pies se viste,

El de Sevilla mi colega el Kike.

Nada que ver, ese es otro mundo,

Ese es real, Campeador y Justo.

Es con razón, que hable bien de él.

Y no es de boca te lo hago ver.

Soy soñador y bandolero de la vida, pero enamorao.

Enamorao de cada una de mis niñas, yo me sientao amao.

Enamorao. Campeador de la calle, pero enamorao.

De la maldad de los que hablan por hablar, yo vivo distanciao.

Te has enterao.

El Kike tiene mercenaria el alma,

Y solo en él, sus tres niñas mandan.

Gracias señor, por mi Amparo y mi Lala,

Tengo también a mi pequeña Nadia.

No quiero no de nadie na,

Nadie a mí me puede reclamar.

Soy soñador y bandolero de la vida, pero enamorao.

Enamorao de cada una de mis niñas, yo me sientao amao.

Enamorao. Campeador de la batalla de la calle, pero enamorao.

De la maldad de los que hablan por hablar, yo vivo distanciao.

Te has enterao.

Campeador de la batalla de la calle, pero enamorao.

Enamorao de cada una de mis niñas, yo me sientao amao.

Enamorao.
