Uh-la-eh
Uh-la-eh
Me suena un pitico
I hear a little sound
Aquí en el costa'o
Here on the coast
Me suena un grillito
I hear a little cricket
Aquí en el costa'o
Here on the coast
Y maripositas
And little butterflies
Que vuelan de la'o
That fly over there
Y mariposita
And little butterfly
Que vuelan de la'o
That flies over there
Esto pinta rosa
This is looking rosy
'Toy enamora'o
I'm in love
A radionovela
Like a radio soap opera
Protagoniza'o
Starring
Como si Cupido
As if Cupid
Me hubiera flecha'o
Had shot me with an arrow
Y maripositas
And little butterflies
Que vuelan de la'o
That flutter by
Y una cosquillita
And a little tickle
Aquí en el costa'o
Here on the side
Esto pinta rosa
This looks rosy
'Toy enamora'o, ¡oye!
I'm in love, hey!
A que le yo-yo

A que le yo-yo, mamacita
Oh, what I want to say, darling
Pero me gustas cuando tú me das
But I like it when you give me
Un besito en la boquita
A little kiss on my lips
Niña, ¡qué bien!
Girl, how good!
Y la cosquillita
And the little tickle
Es agua e' mela'o
It's sweetened water
Y la cosquillita (já)
And the little tickle (ha)
Ella sube y baja
She goes up and down
Por el mismo la'o
Through the same side
Ella baja y sube
She goes down and up
Por el mismo la'o

I'm in love

Como si Cupido
As if Cupid
Me hubiera flecha'o
Had shot me with an arrow
Con maripositas
With butterflies
Que vuelan de la'o
That fly around
Y una cosquillita
And a little tickle
Aquí en el costa'o
Right here in my side
Esto pinta rosa
This is looking rosy
