Nada voy a hacer
I'm not going to do anything
Rebuscando en las heridas del pasado
Searching through the wounds of the past
No voy a perder
I'm not going to lose
Yo no quiero ser un tipo de otro lado
I don't want to be a guy from another place
A tu manera, descomplicado
In your way, uncomplicated
En una bici que te lleve a todos lados
On a bike that takes you everywhere
Un vallenato, desesperado
A desperate vallenato
Una cartica que yo guardo donde te escribí
A little letter that I keep where I wrote to you
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
That I dream of you and I love you so much
Que hace rato está mi corazón
That my heart has been for a while now
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
Beating for you, beating for you
La que yo guardo donde te escribí
The one I keep where I wrote to you
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
That I dream of you and I love you so much
Que hace rato está mi corazón
That my heart has been for a while now
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
Beating for you, beating for you
Puedo ser feliz
I can be happy
Caminando relajada entre la gente
Walking relaxed among the people
Yo te quiero así
I love you like this
Y me gustas porque eres diferente
And I like you because you're different
A mi manera, despelucado
In my way, messy
En una bici que me lleva a todos lados
On a bike that takes me everywhere
Un vallenato, desesperado
A desperate vallenato
Una cartica que yo guardo donde te escribí
A little letter that I keep where I wrote to you
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
That I dream of you and I love you so much
Que hace rato está mi corazón
That my heart has been for a while now
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
Beating for you, beating for you
La que yo guardo donde te escribí
The one I keep where I wrote to you
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
That I dream of you and I love you so much
Que hace rato está mi corazón
That my heart has been for a while now
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
Beating for you, beating for you
Ella es la favorita, la que canta en la zona
She’s the favorite, the one who sings in the area
Se mueve en su cadera como un barco en las olas
She moves her hips like a ship on the waves
Tiene los pies descalzos como un niño que adora
She has bare feet like a child who adores
Y su cabello es largo, son un sol que te antoja
And her hair is long, like a sun that tempts you
Le gusta que le digan que es la niña, la lola
She likes to be called the girl, the lola
Le gusta que la miren cuando ella baila sola
She likes to be watched when she dances alone
Le gusta más la casa, que no pasen las horas
She prefers the house, where the hours don’t pass
Le gusta Barranquilla, le gusta Barcelona
She loves Barranquilla, she loves Barcelona
Lléva-llévame en tu bicicleta
Take me, take me on your bike
Óyeme, Carlos, llévame en tu bicicleta
Listen to me, Carlos, take me on your bike
Quiero que recorramos juntos esa zona
I want us to explore that area together
Desde Santa Marta hasta La Arenosa
From Santa Marta to La Arenosa
Lléva-llévame en tu bicicleta
Take me, take me on your bike
Pa' que juguemos bola 'e trapo allá en Chancleta
So we can play rag ball there in Chancleta
Que si a Piqué algún día le muestras el Tayrona
Because if you show Piqué the Tayrona one day
Después no querrá irse pa' Barcelona
Then he won't want to leave for Barcelona
A mi manera, descomplicado
In my way, uncomplicated
En una bici que me lleva a todos lados
On a bike that takes me everywhere
Un vallenato, desesperado
A desperate vallenato
Una cartica que yo guardo donde te escribí
A little letter that I keep where I wrote to you
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
That I dream of you and I love you so much
Que hace rato está mi corazón
That my heart has been for a while now
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
Beating for you, beating for you
La que yo guardo donde te escribí
The one I keep where I wrote to you
Que te sueño y que te quiero tanto
That I dream of you and I love you so much
Que hace rato está mi corazón
That my heart has been for a while now
Latiendo por ti, latiendo por ti
Beating for you, beating for you
Lléva-llévame en tu bicicleta
Take me, take me on your bike
Óyeme, Carlos, llévame en tu bicicleta
Listen to me, Carlos, take me on your bike
Que si a Piqué algún día le muestras el Tayrona
Because if you show Piqué the Tayrona one day
Después no querrá irse pa' Barcelona
Then he won't want to leave for Barcelona
Lléva-llévame en tu bicicleta
Take me, take me on your bike
Óyeme, Carlos, llévame en tu bicicleta
Listen to me, Carlos, take me on your bike
Que si a mi Piqué tú le muestras el Tayrona
Because if you show my Piqué the Tayrona
Después no querrá irse pa' Barcelona
Then he won't want to leave for Barcelona
