Y una bolsita para dar el levantón
And a little bag to get the lift
Y un botecito que me quema con frío
And a small bottle that burns me with cold
Tres, cuatro Barbie' bien preciosas pa' bailar
Three, four beautiful Barbies to dance
El solecito a lo lejos veo pasar
I see the little sun passing in the distance
Me pasa mi compa' un tabaco pa' embaisar
My buddy passes me a smoke to roll up
El corazón siento me empieza a palpitar
I feel my heart starting to race
Llevaba tiempo sin eso experimentar
It's been a while since I experienced that
No sé qué es eso, creo, dicen mariposas
I don't know what that is, I think they call it butterflies
Llevo un buen rato y no la dejo de mirar
I've been staring at her for a while and can't look away
Labios hermosos, su rostro espectacular
Beautiful lips, her face is spectacular
Me acerco y la neta no sé si saludar
I get closer and honestly, I don't know if I should greet
Pero no es malo, mejor me voy a aventar
But it's not bad, I might as well take the plunge
Qué hermosa niña, créanme que fue la verdad
What a beautiful girl, believe me, it's the truth
Toqué su hombro y, al instante, me mira
I touched her shoulder and, in an instant, she looks at me
Su mano pega y me lleva junto a bailar
Her hand reaches out and takes me to dance
Me tenía loco la forma de su mirar
I was crazy about the way she looked at me
Y al paso en que ella se me pega y me pone a bailar
And with the way she moves close and gets me dancing
Su cuerpo pegadito al mío me hacía vibrar
Her body pressed against mine made me shiver
Tengo yo miedo y no me quiero enamorar
I'm scared and I don’t want to fall in love
Pero ya es tarde y créanme que esto me gusta
But it's too late, believe me, I really like this
Dos, tres canciones y no para de bailar
Two, three songs and she won't stop dancing
No me interesa mientras esté junto a ella
I don't care as long as I'm with her
Tres, cuatro tragos y la fiesta mejora
Three, four drinks and the party gets better
Nos conocimos mientras la rola suena
We met while the song was playing
Ya ni les cuento, ya saben lo qué pasó
I don't even need to tell you, you already know what happened.
Rodó en mi cama y justo cuando el sol salió
It rolled in my bed just as the sun rose
Dormimos juntos, me tenía bien loco
We slept together, you drove me crazy
Y aquí termina la historia de este cuento
And here ends the story of this tale.
Aquí sigo en el antro fumando un gallo
Here I am in the club, smoking a joint
Siempre observando por si es que me la topo
Always watching in case I run into her
Pasan los días y no la he vuelto a mirar
Days go by and I haven't seen her again
A Dios le rezo pa' que la haga ya llegar
I pray to God to bring her here at last
Cierro los ojos y me acuerdo de su carita
I close my eyes and remember her little face
Cómo bailaba, sonreía y de ese mirar
How she danced, smiled, and that gaze of hers
Luna, dile tú que ya la puedes mirar
Moon, you tell her that she can look now
Dile que vuelva y aquí la voy a esperar
Tell her to come back and I'll be here waiting
