[English]

Ah-ah-ay

...

That the sky is not blue

Oh, my love; oh, my love

That it's red, you say

Oh, my love; oh, my love

You see everything backwards

Oh, my love; oh, my love

I think you think with your feet

Oh, my love; oh, my love

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

I'm guessing what you want and for when

And so I'm celebrating

That I've become a little crazy

...

You drive me crazy and that's a little crazy

Your mind takes off, you always with ideas

You play with my head

Everything is a little crazy

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

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

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

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

...

[Spanish]

Ah-ah-ay

Que el cielo no es azul

Ay, mi amor; ay, mi amor

Que es rojo, dices tú

Ay, mi amor; ay, mi amor

Ves todo al revés

Ay, mi amor; ay, mi amor

Creo que piensas con los pies

Ay, mi amor; ay, mi amor

Tú me traes un poco loco, un poquititito loco

Estoy adivinando qué quieres y pa' cuándo

Y así estoy celebrando

Que me he vuelto un poco loco

Chiflado tú me vuelves y eso está un poco loco

Tu mente que despega, tú siempre con ideas

Con mi cabeza juegas

Todo es un poco loco

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

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

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

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