[English]

Glamorous, wandering nymph

Delicate, a pearl from far-off seas

Queenly figure, captivating majesty

I retreat, intoxicated, to your Eden

In love, and yours

...

In love, and yours

As if it were the very first time

...

Courtesan, a self-proclaimed cat

Indecent, absorber of pleasure

Shameless, mistress of persuasion

Delicious one, I’m going to taste you

...

In love, and yours (enamo…)

In love, and yours (enamo…)

As if it were the very first time

I turn into that sappy man

Who faints and falls at your mercy

In love, and yours (enamo…)

In love, and yours (enamo…)

As if it were the very first time

In love, and yours (enamo-sha-la-la)

In love, and yours (enamo-sha-la-la)

In love, and yours (enamo-sha-la-la)

In love, and yours (enamo-sha-la-la)

In love, and yours (enamo-sha-la-la)

In love, and yours (enamo-sha-la-la)

As if it were the very first time

...

[Spanish]

Glamorosa, ninfa vagabunda

Delicada, perla de ultramar

Faraona, atractiva majestad

Me retiro embriagado a tu Edén

Enamorado y tuyo

Enamorado y tuyo

Como si fuera la primera vez

Cortesana, gata declarada

Indecente, esponja de placer

Sinvergüenza, ama de la persuación

Deliciosa, te voy a lamer

Enamorado y tuyo (enamo...)

Enamorado y tuyo (enamo...)

Como si fuera la primera vez

Me transformo en el cursi aquél

Que desmaya y cae a tu merced

Enamorado y tuyo (enamo...)

Enamorado y tuyo (enamo...)

Como si fuera la primera vez

Enamorado y tuyo (enamo-sha-la-la)

Enamorado y tuyo (enamo-sha-la-la)

Enamorado y tuyo (enamo-sha-la-la)

Enamorado y tuyo (enamo-sha-la-la)
