Que el cielo no es azul

That the sky is not blue

Ay, mi amor; ay, mi amor

Oh, my love; oh, my love

Que es rojo, dices tú

That it's red, you say

Ay, mi amor; ay, mi amor

Oh, my love; oh, my love

Ves todo al revés

You see everything backwards

Ay, mi amor; ay, mi amor

Oh, my love; oh, my love

Creo que piensas con los pies

I think you think with your feet

Ay, mi amor; ay, mi amor

Oh, my love; oh, my love

Tú me traes un poco loco, un poquititito loco

You drive me a little crazy, a little, little crazy

Estoy adivinando qué quieres y pa' cuándo

I'm guessing what you want and for when

Y así estoy celebrando

And so I'm celebrating

Que me he vuelto un poco loco

That I've become a little crazy

...

...

Chiflado tú me vuelves y eso está un poco loco

You drive me crazy and that's a little crazy

Tu mente que despega, tú siempre con ideas

Your mind takes off, you always with ideas

Con mi cabeza juegas

You play with my head

Todo es un poco loco

Everything is a little crazy

(Todo es un poco loco, con mi cabeza juegas)

(Everything is a little crazy, you play with my head)

(Todo es un poco loco, con mi cabeza juegas)

(Everything is a little crazy, you play with my head)

(Todo es un poco loco, con mi cabeza juegas)

(Everything is a little crazy, you play with my head)

Un poquititi-tititi-titi-tititititi-to loco (Aoh-aoh-aoh, ah)

A little, little, little, little, little, little crazy (Aoh-aoh-aoh, ah)
