Quiero contar la historia
I want to tell the story
Que a mi amigo le pasó
That happened to my friend
Cuando me visitaba
When he came to visit me
De la ciudad de Nueva York
From the city of New York
Él es un tipo guapo
He's a handsome guy
De esos que saben un montón
One of those who knows a lot
Pero que aquí también
But here too
Iba a ser dueño y señor
He was going to be the master and lord
Pa' darle la bienvenida
To give him a warm welcome
Lo llevé a discotequear
I took him to party hard
Iba todo aniquelao'
I was completely wrecked
Y como todo playboy comenzó a buscar
And like any playboy, he started to look
Encontró que había una rubia
He found a blonde
Sentadita en el bar
Sitting at the bar
Me dijo es presa fácil
She told me she's an easy catch
La voy a invitar a bailar
I'm going to invite her to dance
Cuando bailaba la gente le gritaba
When she danced, people shouted at her
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Y yo no sabía por qué
And I didn't know why
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Él bailaba pegao' con ella
He danced close with her
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
La encontraba ay tan bella
I found her oh so beautiful
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Él quería sabor
He wanted flavor
Me dijo yo soy bravo
He told me I'm fierce
Y me voy a resolver
And I'm going to make it happen
Tiene todo en su sitio
Everything's in its place
Ay que nivel de mujer
Oh what a level of woman
Yo le dije ten cuidao'
I told her be careful
Te tienes que proteger
You have to protect yourself
Tú sabes que en estos tiempos
You know that in these times
Todo puede suceder
Anything can happen
Lo llevó a su apartamento
She took him to her apartment
Y entre besos con pasión
And between kisses with passion
Comenzaron a explorar
They began to explore
Cada punto cardinal
Every cardinal point
Cuando llegó a donde quería llegar
When he arrived at where he wanted to be
Sólo un grito se escuchó
Only a scream was heard
Pobrecito de mi amigo
Poor little me, my friend
Que sorpresa se llevó
What a surprise he got
Y mientras él corría ella le empezó a gritar
And while he ran, she began to shout at him
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Con oye me pinta labios
With, hey, she paints her lips
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Y el corazón en las manos
And the heart in his hands
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Parecía que había visto el diablo, pero
It seemed like he had seen the devil, but
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Él quería sabor
He wanted flavor
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Que bochorno, que vergüenza
What a scandal, what a shame
Que experiencia sin igual
What an unmatched experience
Dicen que ha perdido la cabeza
They say he has lost his mind
Y no le queda moral
And he has no morals left
La lección es la siguiente
The lesson is the following
Para aquellos que se creen Don Juan
For those who think they're Don Juan
El que juega a la ruleta rusa
He who plays Russian roulette
El tiro un día le tocará
One day the shot will hit him
Por eso te digo no te avientes a buscar
That's why I tell you, don't rush to seek
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Te puedes salir al revés
You can turn it upside down
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
A cualquiera le puede suceder
It can happen to anyone
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Mi amigo creía que era mujer
My friend thought she was a woman
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Lo que parece no es
What seems is not
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Todo le salió al revés
Everything turned out upside down
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Él buscaba sabor
He was searching for flavor
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Que trago amargo fue
What a bitter drink it was
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
A este sitio no va a volver
He won't return to this place
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
De discotecas no quiere saber
He doesn't want to know about nightclubs
Sabor, sabor
Flavor, flavor
Él buscaba sabor
He was searching for flavor
