No se bien que día es hoy
I don't know well what day it is today
Solo se que te vi salir
I just know I saw you leave
Y en cinco minutos perdí
And in five minutes I lost
Las letras para hablarte a voz
The words to speak to you aloud
Yo se, yo se que no tengo palabras
I know, I know I don't have words
Y nunca las voy a tener
And I'm never going to have them
Por eso aprovecho esta noche
That's why I take advantage of this night
Ya ves, estoy solo otra vez
You see, I'm alone once again
Por eso aprovecho esta noche
That's why I take advantage of this night
Tal vez lo puedas entender (Te entiendo)
Maybe you can understand (I understand you)
No me importa poner las letras
I don't care about putting the words together
Solo me importa mi mujer
I only care about my woman
Mañana cuando te levantes
Tomorrow when you wake up
Y pienses lo que dije ayer
And think about what I said yesterday
Ay viejo, que en este juego
Oh man, in this game
A mi siempre me toca perder
I always end up losing
Siempre habrá vasos vacíos
There will always be empty glasses
Con agua de la ciudad
With water from the city
La nuestra es agua de río mezclada con mar
Ours is river water mixed with the sea
Oye, levanta los brazos mujer
Hey, raise your arms, woman
Y ponte esta noche a bailar
And put yourself to dance tonight
Que la nuestra es agua de río mezclada con mar
Because ours is river water mixed with the sea
No se bien que día es hoy
I don't know well what day it is today
Solo se que te vi salir
I just know I saw you leave
Y en cinco minutos perdí
And in five minutes I lost
Las letras para hablarte a voz
The words to speak to you aloud
Yo, yo, yo se que no tengo palabras
I, I, I know I don't have words
Y nunca las voy a tener
And I'm never going to have them
Por eso aprovecho esta noche
That's why I take advantage of this night
Ya ves, estoy solo otra vez
You see, I'm alone once again
Por eso aprovecho esta noche
That's why I take advantage of this night
Tal vez lo puedas entender (Siempre te entiendo)
Maybe you can understand (I always understand you)
No me importa poner las letras
I don't care about putting the words together
Solo me importa mi mujer
I only care about my woman
Mañana cuando te levantes
Tomorrow when you wake up
Y pienses lo que dije ayer
And think about what I said yesterday
Ay viejo, que en este juego
Oh man, in this game
A mi siempre me toca perder (Siempre)
I always end up losing (Always)
Siempre habrá vasos vacíos
There will always be empty glasses
Con agua de la ciudad
With water from the city
La nuestra es agua de río mezclada con mar
Ours is river water mixed with the sea
Oye, levanta los brazos mujer
Hey, raise your arms, woman
Y ponte esta noche a bailar
And put yourself to dance tonight
Que la nuestra es agua de río mezclada con mar
Because ours is river water mixed with the sea
Aquí te quiero decir
Here I want to tell you
No te preocupes mi amor
Don't worry my love
Que yo te voy a entender
That I will understand you
Que yo te voy a querer
That I will love you
Siempre habrá vasos vacíos
There will always be empty glasses
Con agua de la ciudad
With water from the city
La nuestra es agua de río mezclada con mar
Ours is river water mixed with the sea
Oye, levanta los brazos mujer
Hey, raise your arms, woman
Y ponte esta noche a bailar
And put yourself to dance tonight
Que la nuestra es agua de río mezclada con mar
Because ours is river water mixed with the sea
