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
Oh, what I want to say

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

A radio soap opera

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

I'm in love, hey!
