Yo era de un barrio pobre del centro de la ciudad
I was from a poor neighborhood in the center of the city
(Ella de clase alta, pa' decir verdad)
(She was upper class, to tell the truth)
Montada en un Mercedes automático, dos puertas
Riding in a fancy Mercedes, two doors
Yo rodando en una trate con un pie adentro, otro afuera
I was rolling in a truck with one foot in, the other out
Ella en la Pedro Henríquez, yo estudiante de la UASD
She on Pedro Henríquez, me a student at UASD
Ella summa cum laude; yo, suma dificultad
She summa cum laude; me, a sum of difficulties
Pero el amor se viste de lino y de franela
But love is dressed in linen and flannel
Y cada día que pasa, yo me enamoro de ella, ay, oye
And every day that passes, I fall in love with her, oh, listen
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
For her clear eyes, for her beautiful laughter
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall for her, I fall for her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
For her clear eyes, for her beautiful laugh
Me enamoro de ella
I fall for her
Ella en un club de tenis, yo a veces juego billar
She at a tennis club, while I sometimes play pool
Ella almuerza en El Lina, yo en un comedor social
She lunches at El Lina, I at a social cafeteria
Tiene en su residencia un sauna, una piscina
She has a sauna, a pool at her residence
En mi pensión, dos cubetas para mojarme la vida
In my boarding house, two buckets to drench my life
Ella, en bienes raíces, hereda la Capital
She, in real estate, inherits the capital
Yo tengo que hacer magia para trabajar
I have to work magic to make a living
Pero, el amor se anida y no sabe de cuentas
But love nests and knows nothing of accounts
Y cada día que pasa, yo me enamoro de ella, ay, oye
And every day that goes by, I fall in love with her, oh, listen
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
With her bright eyes, with her beautiful laugh
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
With her bright eyes, with her beautiful laugh
Me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her
Esta historia se escribe sin principio ni final
This story is written with no beginning and no end
Ella estando en sus buenas y yo siempre estando mal
Her shining while I’m always feeling down
Pero, el amor se viste de lino y de franela
But, love dresses in linen and flannel
Y cada día que pasa, yo me enamoro de ella, ¡ay, ombe!
And every day that goes by, I fall in love with her, oh, come on!
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
With her bright eyes, with her beautiful laugh
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
With her bright eyes, with her beautiful laugh
Me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her
Si ella cediera un poco, mi vida fuera ideal
If she would give in a little, my life would be ideal
(Bájate de esa nube y deja de soñar)
(Get down from that cloud and stop dreaming)
Es que el amor se viste de lino y de franela
Love dresses in linen and flannel
Y cada día que pasa, yo me enamoro de ella, ay, oye
And with each passing day, I fall in love with her, oh, listen
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
Of her bright eyes, of her beautiful laughter
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
Of her bright eyes, of her beautiful laughter
Me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her

From her bright eyes, from her beautiful laughter
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
De sus ojos claros, de su risa bella
From her bright eyes, from her beautiful laughter
Me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her
Me enamoro de ella, me enamoro de ella
I fall in love with her, I fall in love with her
