Por venir a ver tu cara tuve que rodear veredas
To come see your face, I had to take the long way around
Si no puedes hoy, mañana, o ahí me avisas cuando puedas
If you can't today, tomorrow, or just let me know when you can
Vida mía, con esos modos hasta dudo
My life, with those ways I even doubt
Que me quieras
That you love me
Entre el mar y las estrellas se pasean las blancas nubes
Between the sea and the stars, the white clouds stroll
Si te casas tú conmigo hasta de princesa subes
If you marry me, you’ll rise like a princess
Y si no te meto un tiro nomás pa
And if not, I’ll shoot you just to
Que no lo dudes
Make sure you don't doubt it
Y palabra de hombre que jamás me rajo
And on my word as a man, I'll never back down
Que me den pa arriba, que me den pa abajo
Let them lift me up, let them bring me down
Y nomás de adrede voy a echarme un trago
And just on purpose I'm going to take a drink
Yo jamás me asusto
I never get scared
De las cosas que hago
Of the things I do
Y si algún día me mataran, que sea con metralladora
And if one day they kill me, let it be with a machine gun
Aunque me hagan mil añicos, siempre soy el que te adora
Even if they break me into a thousand pieces, I'm always the one who adores you
Quiero morir en tus brazos, aunque seas
I want to die in your arms, even if you are
Mancornadora
A heartbreaker
Entre el mar y las estrellas se pasean las blancas nubes
Between the sea and the stars, the white clouds stroll
Si te casas tú conmigo, hasta de princesa subes
If you marry me, you'll even rise like a princess
Y si no te meto un tiro nomás pa
And if I don't shoot you just to
Que no lo dudes
Don't you doubt it
Y palabra de hombre que jamás me rajo
And on my word as a man, I'll never back down
Que me den pa arriba, que me den pa abajo
Lift me up, bring me down
Y nomás de adrede voy a echarme un trago
And just for the sake of it, I'm going to take a drink
Yo jamás me asusto
I'll never be afraid
De las cosas que hago
Of the things I do
