[English]

She got tired of being controlled

Always fighting over everything, always calling her

And she’s rolling around again

In my bed watching the sunrise

Those little brown eyes

I melt if they look at me

Screw it if they see us

And it’s getting late, so don’t take too long

The clock isn’t our enemy

You know where I live

Just come over, to show you that little trick

That takes your breath away

Let’s fly first class to Buenos Aires

She said, “They’re going to see us”

And I told her, “So what? This was going to happen”

I predicted it

I got close to her without explaining

That was a Thursday and she stayed the whole weekend

...

Asking for it all

Me, very gentlemanly

Out of courtesy, I took off my hat to come in

Baby, lero, lero, to be honest with you

I don’t give a damn what others think

And it’s getting late, so don’t take too long

The clock isn’t our enemy

You know where I live

Just come over, to show you that little trick

That takes your breath away

Let’s fly first class to Buenos Aires

Asking for it all

Me, very gentlemanly

Out of courtesy, I took off my hat to come in

Baby

Saúl Baby

[Spanish]

Se cansó de que estuvieran controlándola

Peleándole por todo siempre llamándola

Y ella otra vez revolcán-dose

En mi cama viendo el ama-necer

Esos ojitos color café

Me derrito si me ven

Que se joda si nos ven

Y se hace tarde, así que no te tardes

El reloj no es nuestro enemigo

Sabes donde resido

Tú solo caile, pa' hacerte el truquito ese

Que te quite el aire

Vámonos first class pa' Buenos Aires

Dijo: "Nos van a ver"

Y yo le dije: "¿Y qué? Que esto iba a pasar"

Lo pronostiqué

Yo me le acerqué y ni le expliqué

Eso fue un jueves y se quedó el weekend

entero

Pidiéndolo entero

Yo bien caballero

Por cortesía pa' entrar me quité el sombrero

Mami, lero, lero, si te soy sincero

Me importa un carajo lo que piensen los terceros

Y se hace tarde, así que no te tardes

El reloj no es nuestro enemigo

Sabes donde resido

Tú solo caile, pa' hacerte el truquito ese

Que te quite el aire

Vámonos first class pa' Buenos Aires

Pidiéndolo entero

Yo bien caballero

Por cortesía pa' entrar me quité el sombrero

Mami

Saúl Baby
