En el 23, pues, era sin tifí
In '23, well, it was without a doubt
No se puede estar tranquilo, te diré por qué
You can't be calm, I'll tell you why
Lo mismo a las doce del día, a la una que a las tres
The same at noon, at one, or at three
A veces de madrugada, a veces al amanecer
Sometimes in the early morning, sometimes at dawn
Se forma una re-bam-baramba
A re-bam-baramba forms
Que se ajuntan cuatro, cinco, siete, ocho, nueve o diez
With four, five, seven, eight, nine, or ten gathering together
Y salen gritando, avisen al súper
And they come out shouting, alert the supermarket
Que nos estamos quemando
That we are burning up
Y no se sabe el fuego en dónde es
And it's unclear where the fire is
Una mañana dormía y corriendo me tiré
One morning I was sleeping and jumped up running
Por un grito que decía "hay fuego en el 23"
To a shout that said 'there's a fire in 23'
Que se prendió la bombilla, no se sabe cómo fue
The light bulb caught fire, no one knows how it happened
Corre Quique enseguida, que se quema el 23
Run Quique right away, because 23 is burning
Hay fuego en el 23, ah, en el 23
There's fire in 23, ah, in 23
Quique agarró al Sergio y del fuego lo sacó
Quique grabbed Sergio and pulled him from the flames
Hay fuego en el 23, ah, en el 23
There's fire in 23, ah, in 23
Hay fuego en el 23, ah, en el 23
There's fire at 23, ah, at 23
