La bomba

The bomb

...

...

Es una bebida que va cambiando tu vida

It's a drink that changes your life

Una gotita de nada te vuelve loca, loca divertida

A drop of nothing makes you crazy, crazy and fun

Agua de risa con unas gotas de rosa y una aceituna sabrosa

Laughing water with drops of rose and a tasty olive

Y algo caliente (súbelo), esa es la bomba

And something hot (turn it up), that's the bomb

Muévete, mamita, que me vuelvo loco

Move it, baby, you're driving me crazy

Emborrachadita de la bomba estás

You're tipsy from the bomb

Cosa linda, cosa mona

Beautiful thing, cute thing

(Sube, sube que la bomba va)

(Turn it up, turn it up, here comes the bomb)

Bum, bum, dando media vuelta

Boom, boom, turning halfway around

Bum, bum, otra vuelta más

Boom, boom, another turn more

Bum, bum, en cada esquina

Boom, boom, on every corner

Nena, dame más, (bum, bum, a la bin bum va)

Baby, give me more, (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

(Muévelo, muévelo), dando media vuelta

(Move it, move it), turning halfway around

Bum, bum, otra vuelta más, (muévelo, muévelo)

Boom, boom, another turn more, (move it, move it)

En cada esquina, nena, dame más, (bum, bum, a la bin bum va)

On every corner, baby, give me more, (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

...

...

Qué noche movida, intensamente vivida

What a lively night, intensely lived

Te vas quedando colgada, inofensiva, pura enamorada

You're getting hooked, harmless, purely in love

Mira, guapa, sale volando la ropa; sigue bailando la luna

Look, beautiful, the clothes are flying off; the moon keeps dancing

Luna gatuna (súbelo), esa es la bomba

Cat-like moon (turn it up), that's the bomb

Muévete, mamita que me vuelvo loco

Move it, baby, you're driving me crazy

Emborrachadita de la bomba estás

You're tipsy from the bomb

Cosa linda, cosa mona

Beautiful thing, cute thing

Sube, sube, que la bomba va, (muévelo, muévelo)

Turn it up, turn it up, here comes the bomb, (move it, move it)

Bum, bum, dando media vuelta

Boom, boom, turning halfway around

Bum, bum, otra vuelta más, (muévelo, muévelo)

Boom, boom, another turn more, (move it, move it)

(Bum, bum), en cada esquina

(Boom, boom), on every corner

Nena, dame más, (bum, bum, a la bin bum va)

Baby, give me more, (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)

Nena, dame más (bum, bum, a la bin bum va)

Baby, give me more (boom, boom, here the boom boom goes)
