No se me queje
Don't complain to me
Cuando le reclame
When I call you out
Porque no me escriba
Because you don't write to me
Porque no me llame
Because you don't call me
No se me queje
Don't complain to me
Si es suya la culpa
If it's your fault
Nadie la mandó a que me enamorara, si me pregunta
No one sent you to make me fall in love, if you ask me
Quién la manda a ser tan perfecta, caribonita
Who sent you to be so perfect, lovely one
Quién la manda, con esos ojitos y esa boquita
Who sent you, with those little eyes and that sweet mouth
Quién la manda ser todo lo que se necesita
Who sent you to be everything that I need
Mi capricho y hasta mi comida favorita
My whim and even my favorite food
Quién la manda a ser todo lo que me encanta
Who sent you to be everything that I adore
Aquí me tiene enamorado y enamorado nadie me aguanta
Here you have me, in love and no one can take it
Quién la manda a ser todo lo que me falta
Who sent you to be everything that's missing in my life
Si tú quieres yo te enamoro, como hacían antes, te mando cartas
If you want, I'll make you fall in love, like they used to do, I'll send you letters
Y lo siento, no quiero sonar intenso
And I'm sorry, I don't want to sound intense
Pero tú no te imaginas cuánto te quiero, cuánto te pienso
But you can't imagine how much I love you, how much I think of you
Y lo siento, pero estoy a solo un beso
And I'm sorry, but I'm just a kiss away
De que la corone reina de mi castillo, de mi universo
From crowning you queen of my castle, of my universe
Quién la manda a ser tan perfecta, caribonita
Who sent you to be so perfect, lovely one
Quién la manda, con esos ojitos y esa boquita
Who sent you, with those little eyes and that sweet mouth
Quién la manda a ser todo lo que se necesita
Who sent you to be everything that I need
Mi capricho y hasta mi comida favorita
My whim and even my favorite food
Quién la manda a ser todo lo que me encanta
Who sent you to be everything that I adore
Aquí me tiene enamorado y enamorado nadie me aguanta
Here you have me, in love and no one can take it
Quién la manda a ser todo lo que me falta
Who sent you to be everything that's missing in my life
Si tú quieres yo te enamoro, como hacían antes, te mando cartas
If you want, I'll make you fall in love, like they used to do, I'll send you letters
Y lo siento, no quiero sonar intenso
And I'm sorry, I don't want to sound intense
Pero tú no te imaginas cuánto te quiero, cuánto te pienso
But you can't imagine how much I love you, how much I think of you
Y lo siento, pero estoy a solo un beso
And I'm sorry, but I'm just a kiss away
De que la corone reina de mi castillo, de mi universo
From crowning you queen of my castle, of my universe
No se me queje
Don't complain to me
Cuando le reclame
When I call you out
Porque no me escriba
Because you don't write to me
Porque no me llame
Because you don't call me
No se me queje
Don't complain to me
Si es suya la culpa
If it's your fault
Nadie la mandó a que me enamorara, si me pregunta
No one sent you to make me fall in love, if you ask me
