Oye, me dio una fiebre el otro día
Hey, I caught a fever the other day
Por causa de tu amor, cristiana
Because of your love, Christian
Que fui a parar a enfermería
That I ended up in the infirmary
Sin yo tener seguro en cama
With no insurance in bed
Y me inyectaron suero de colores, ey
And they injected me with colored serum, hey
Y me sacaron la radiografía
And they took my X-ray
Y me diagnosticaron mal de amores, uh
And they diagnosed me with a love sickness, uh
Al ver mi corazón como latía
Seeing how my heart was beating
Oye, y me trastearon hasta el alma
Hey, and they even messed with my soul
Con rayos "X" y cirugía
With X-rays and surgery
Y es que la ciencia no funciona
And it's just that science doesn't work
Solo tus besos, vida mía
Only your kisses, my love
Ay negra, mira búscate un catéter, ey
Oh girl, look for a catheter, hey
E inyéctame tu amor como insulina
And inject me your love like insulin
Y dame vitamina de cariño, eh
And give me a vitamin of affection, eh
Que me ha subido la bilirrubina (ah-ah-ah-ay)
Because my bilirubin has gone up (ah-ah-ah-ay)
Me sube la bilirrubina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
My bilirubin goes up (ay, my bilirubin goes up)
Cuando te miro y no me miras (ay, cuando te miro y no me miras)
When I look at you and you don't look back (ay, when I look at you and you don't look back)
Y no lo quita la aspirina (no, ni un suero con penicilina)
And aspirin can't take it away (no, not even a serum with penicillin)
Es un amor que contamina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
It's a love that contaminates (ay, my bilirubin goes up)
Oye, me sube la bilirrubina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
Hey, it raises my bilirubin (oh, it raises my bilirubin)
Cuando te miro y no me miras (ay, cuando te miro y no me miras)
When I look at you and you don't look back (oh, when I look at you and you don't look back)
Y no lo quita la aspirina (no, ni un suero con penicilina)
And aspirin can't take it away (no, not even serum with penicillin)
Es un amor que contamina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina), ¡oye!
It's a love that contaminates (oh, it raises my bilirubin), hey!
Oye, me sube la bilirrubina a mí (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
Hey, it raises my bilirubin for me (oh, it raises my bilirubin)
Cuando te miro y no me miras (ay, cuando te miro y no me miras)
When I look at you and you don't look back (oh, when I look at you and you don't look back)
Y no lo quita la aspirina (no, ni un suero con penicilina)
And aspirin can't take it away (no, not even serum with penicillin)
Es un amor que contamina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina), ¡oye!
It's a love that contaminates (oh, it raises my bilirubin), hey!
Me sube la bilirrubina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
It raises my bilirubin (oh, it raises my bilirubin)
Cuando te miro y no me miras (ay, cuando te miro y no me miras)
When I look at you and you don't look back (oh, when I look at you and you don't look back)
Y no lo quita la aspirina (no, ni un suero con penicilina)
And it doesn't go away with aspirin (no, nor a serum with penicillin)
Es un amor que contamina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
It's a love that contaminates (oh, it raises my bilirubin)
Ay negra, mira búscate un catéter, ey
Oh black girl, look for a catheter, hey
E inyéctame tu amor como insulina
And inject your love into me like insulin
Vestido tengo el rostro de amarillo, eh
I have my face dressed in yellow, eh
Y me ha subido la bilirrubina (ah-ah-ah-ay)
And my bilirubin has risen (ah-ah-ah-oh)
Me sube la bilirrubina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
My bilirubin rises (oh, it raises my bilirubin)
Cuando te miro y no me miras (ay, cuando te miro y no me miras)
When I look at you and you don't look at me (oh, when I look at you and you don't look at me)
Y no lo quita la aspirina (no, ni un suero con penicilina)
And it doesn't go away with aspirin (no, nor a serum with penicillin)
Es un amor que contamina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
It's a love that contaminates (oh, it raises my bilirubin)
Oye, me sube la bilirrubina a mí (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
Hey, the bilirubin rises in me (oh, it raises my bilirubin)
Cuando te miro y no me miras (ay, cuando te miro y no me miras)
When I look at you and you don’t look back (oh, when I look at you and you don’t look back)
Y no lo quita la aspirina (no, ni un suero con penicilina)
And aspirin won't take it away (no, not even a serum with penicillin)
Es un amor que contamina (ay, me sube la bilirrubina)
It's a love that contaminates (oh, it raises my bilirubin)
