Aah-uah-uah
Aah-uah-uah
Ay, ay, ay, uh-uh-uh
Oh, oh, oh, uh-uh-uh
Ay, papacito
Oh, darling
Que no somos iguales dice la gente
They say we're not the same
Que tu vida y mi vida, se van a perder
That your life and my life will fade away
Que yo soy la canalla y que tú eres decente
That I'm the rogue and you're the decent one
Que dos seres distintos, no se pueden querer
That two different beings can't love each other
Pero yo ya te quise y no te olvido
But I've already loved you and I can't forget
Y morir en tus brazos, es mi ilusión
And dying in your arms is my dream
Yo no entiendo esas cosas de las clases sociales
I don't understand those things about social classes
Solo sé que me quieres y que te quiero yo
I only know that you love me and that I love you too
Y vámonos donde nadie nos juzgue
And let's go where no one judges us
Donde nadie nos diga que hacemos mal
Where no one tells us that we're doing wrong
Vámonos, alejados del mundo donde no haya justicia
Let's go, away from the world where there’s no justice
Ni leyes ni nada, nomás nuestro amor
No laws or anything, just our love
Aah-ah-ah
Aah-ah-ah
Uy, uy, uh-uh-uh, ay-aja (Échele comadre)
Uy, uy, uh-uh-uh, ay-aja (Go ahead, my friend)
Y le dije ue nos fueramos lejos
And I told her to take us far away
A un lugar diferente
To a different place
Sí no somos iguales que nos importa
If we're not the same, why should we care?
Esta historia de amores tendrá que seguir
This love story will have to continue
Y como alguien me dijo que la vida es muy corta
And as someone told me, life is too short
Esta vez he venido para siempre por ti
This time I've come to stay for you forever
Pero quiero que sepas que no te obligo
But I want you to know that I'm not forcing you
Que si vienes conmigo es por amor
That if you come with me, it's out of love
Di con todas tus fuerzas, lo que soy en tu vida
Say with all your strength, what I mean in your life
Pa' que vean que me quieres como te quiero yo
So they can see that you love me like I love you
Y vámonos donde nadie nos juzgue
And let's go where no one can judge us
Donde nadie nos diga, que hacemos mal
Where no one tells us that we're doing wrong
Vámonos, alejados del mundo donde no haya justicia
Let's get away, far from a world where there's no justice
Ni leyes ni nada, nomás, nomás nuestro amor
No laws, nothing, just, just our love
