Tienes la culpa de este bolero

Que se ha adueñado de mí
That has taken possession of me
No he visto azul
I haven't seen blue
Más azul que cuando miras tú
More blue than when you look at me

Quiere estár donde estés tú
Wants to be where you are
Y si es necesario

For this bolero
That has gone right to my head
No he visto blue
I haven't seen blue
Más azul que cuando miras tú

Tienes la culpa

De este bolero
For this bolero
Que se ha adueñado de mí

Más azul que cuando miras tú
More blue than when you look at me
Que cuando miras tú
