Prepárate el momento de amarla
Get ready for the moment to love her
Si sientes que aún no está muy madura
If you feel she's not quite ready yet
Libérala de tanto pensarlo
Free her from overthinking it
Procura que se sienta segura
Make sure she feels secure
Prepárala así, poco a poco
Prepare her like this, little by little
Mientras tú vas preparando el contorno
While you prepare the background
¡Ah!
Ah!
Enciende en ella el fuego de amores
Ignite in her the fire of loves
Y tenlo todo bien preparado
And have everything well prepared
Intenta que se olvide de todo
Try to help her forget it all
Y baja tú la luz, poco a poco
And lower the light, little by little
Esparce un buen incienso que ambiente
Spread a good incense to set the mood
Mientras tú sirves un vino excelente
While you serve an excellent wine
Ñam, ñam, ñam, la cena va a resultar
Yum, yum, yum, dinner is going to be great
Ñam, ñam, ñam, consejos puedo yo dar
Yum, yum, yum, I can give advice
Ñam, ñam, ñam, recetas vendo de amar
Yum, yum, yum, I sell recipes for love
Ñam, ñam, ñam, ña-ah
Yum, yum, yum, nah-ah
¡Ah-ah!
Ah-ah!
Levántate que ya son las siete
Get up, it's already seven o'clock
Café en la mesa, negro, caliente
Coffee on the table, black and hot
Sus ojos te preguntan "¿me quieres?"
Her eyes ask you, "do you love me?"
Ahora tienes un nuevo ambiente
Now you have a new vibe
¡Amaros!, ya no será delito
To love each other!, it will no longer be a crime
Fue mi receta para el buen apetito
It was my recipe for a healthy appetite
Ñam, ñam, ñam, no me volváis a llamar
Yum, yum, yum, don't call me back
Ñam, ñam, ñam, solo un deseo puedo dar
Yum, yum, yum, I can only give one wish
Ñam, ñam, ñam, recetas vendo de amar
Yum, yum, yum, I sell recipes for love
Ñam, ñam, ñam, ña-ah
Yum, yum, yum, nah-ah
Ñam, ñam, ñam, recetas vendo de amar
Yum, yum, yum, I sell recipes for love
Ñam, ñam, ñam, ña-ah
Yum, yum, yum, nah-ah
Ñam, ñam, ñam, recetas vendo de amar
Yum, yum, yum, I sell recipes of love
Ñam, ñam, ñam, ña-ah
Yum, yum, yum, nah-ah
