[English]

Your little eyes sparkle, sparkle

When I imagine you down below

Baby, in my mind we're intimate

We haven't done it yet, but it's almost time.

How good she must be

With that pretty face and that skin tone

She seems sweet like fruit in a cocktail

I'd have you in Christian Dior, Balenciaga or CHANEL

But what I feel is jealousy,

I'm jealous.

Jealous of the air that caresses your hair.

Jealous of your panties that are where I can't be.

Jealous of your mouth that sucks your fingers.

Baby girl, I'm jealous,

I'm jealous.

Jealous of the air that caresses your hair.

Jealous of your panties that are where I can't be.

Jealous of your mouth that sucks your fingers.

I know what you feel when I overprotect you.

Love from afar, fools' love.

"Who's the prettiest?" ask the mirror.

If there's a line to be with you, don't worry, I'll wait.

I'm jealous of the eyes that look at you, kisses aren't thrown around.

If I say I feel nothing when I see you, that's a lie.

I'm even jealous of the one who waxes you.

I wish when I'm intimate with you, you'd say my first name.

I told her 'I'm possessive with what's mine,' she replied 'I'm nothing of yours.'

Being intimate with you would be an honor, let's lose ourselves in the commotion.

The sparkle is noticeable in her eyes, I got turned on, but she had her own thing.

My love, I attribute all this suffering to you.

I'm jealous,

I'm jealous.

Jealous of the air that caresses your hair.

Jealous of your panties that are where I can't be.

Jealous of your mouth that sucks your fingers.

She doesn't want me to watch over her.

Neither permission nor forgiveness, she doesn't have to ask for the green light.

GUCCI or Louis Vuitton, whichever store, my queen, go for it.

So mom doesn't nag, I'll have the house remodeled.

You have all the power.

What I am is jealous,

but when I see you, it fades away.

If there's a strange car at her house,

you know what that causes.

She has a very beautiful face,

but that butt is a menace.

Tell that jerk not to get too close and to drop the familiarity.

I'm jealous,

I'm jealous.

Jealous of the air that caresses your hair.

Jealous of your panties that are where I can't be.

Jealous of your mouth that sucks your fingers.

Baby girl, I'm jealous,

I'm jealous.

Jealous of the air that caresses your hair.

Jealous of your panties that are where I can't be.

Jealous of your mouth that sucks your fingers.

[Spanish]

Brillan, brillan tus ojitos

Cuando te imagino abajito

Baby, en mi mente chingamos

Aún no lo hemos hecho, pero falta poquito.

Cómo la debe tener

Con esa carita y ese color de piel

Me parece dulce como fruta en cóctel

Te tendría en Christian Dior, Balenciaga o CHANEL

Pero lo que tengo es celos,

yo tengo celos.

Celos del aire que acaricia tu pelo.

Celos de tus panties que están donde yo no puedo.

Celos de tu boca que te chupa los dedos.

Bebecita, tengo celos,

yo tengo celos.

Celos del aire que acaricia tu pelo.

Celos de tus panties que están donde yo no puedo.

Celos de tu boca que te chupa los dedos.

Sé lo que sientes cuando te sobreprotejo.

Amor de lejos, amor de pendejos.

¿Quién es la más bonita? pregunta al espejo.

Si hay fila pa' estar junto a ti, tranqui' yo espero.

Tengo celos de los ojos que te miran, los besos no se tiran.

Si digo que al verte no siento nada, eso es mentira.

Le tengo celos hasta a la que te depila.

Quisiera que al chingarte digas mi nombre de pila.

Le dije 'Soy celoso con lo mío', me contestó 'No soy na' tuyo'.

Hacértelo sería un orgullo, perdámonos en el marullo.

En los ojos se nota el brillo, prendí, pero tenía lo suyo.

Mi amor, todo este sufrimiento a ti es que yo te lo atribuyo.

Tengo celos,

yo tengo celos.

Celos del aire que acaricia tu pelo.

Celos de tus panties que están donde yo no puedo.

Celos de tu boca que te chupa los dedos.

Ella no quiere que la vele.

Ni permiso ni perdón, ella no tiene que pedir la verde.

GUCCI o la Louis Vuitton, la tienda que sea, mi reina, dele.

Pa' que la mai no joda, mando a que la casa remodelen.

Tú tienes to' los poderes.

Yo lo que estoy es celoso,

pero al verte se me pasa.

Si hay carro raro en su casa,

tú sabes ya lo que causa.

Tiene el rostro muy hermoso,

pero ese culo es una amenaza.

Dile a ese cabrón que no se pegue mucho y deje la confianza.

Tengo celos,

yo tengo celos.

Celos del aire que acaricia tu pelo.

Celos de tus panties que están donde yo no puedo.

Celos de tu boca que te chupa los dedos.

Bebecita, tengo celos,

yo tengo celos.

Celos del aire que acaricia tu pelo.

Celos de tus panties que están donde yo no puedo.

Celos de tu boca que te chupa los dedos.

• Hacértelo sería un orgullo

  ➔ Infinitive as Subject & Combination of Object Pronouns

  ➔ The infinitive "Hacer" functions as the subject of the sentence, meaning "To do it to you." The pronouns "te" (indirect object pronoun for "you") and "lo" (direct object pronoun for "it") are attached to the infinitive in this specific order.

• Ella no quiere que la vele.

  ➔ Verbs of Will or Influence with Subjunctive
