Yo quería tener tus ojos
I wanted to have your eyes
Pero tú eres ilegal
But you are illegal
Lo quieres todo a tu antojo
You want everything your way
Mercado negro no oficial
An unofficial black market
Yo quería ir por las dos pistas con cuidado y sin beber
I wanted to take both lanes carefully and without drinking
Y tú querías camino verde, volando en LSD
And you wanted a green path, flying on LSD
Me di cuenta que preferías compartir el bistec
I realized you preferred to share the steak
Que un pellejo solo pa usted
Than to have a piece just for yourself
Fue un amor de contrabando
It was a smuggled love
Me decías que era un perro y tú ladrando (woof, woof)
You told me I was a dog and you barking (woof, woof)
Tú conmigo y el otro loco pensando que tú
You with me and the other crazy thinking that you
A que tú, amiguita, te estabas quedando
That you, my friend, were staying
Dando, dando un amor de contrabando (qué rico)
Giving, giving a smuggled love (how delicious)
Me decías que era un perro y tú ladrando (woof, woof)
You told me I was a dog and you barking (woof, woof)
Tú conmigo y el otro loco pensando que tú
You with me and the other crazy thinking that you
A que tú, amiguita, te estabas quedando
That you, my friend, were staying
Dando, dando un amor de contra-
Giving, giving a love of contra-
Sí
Yes
Llévatelo
Take it away
Un amor de contrabando
A smuggled love
Magic Juan, baby
Magic Juan, baby

Te vi con tu coro
I saw you with your crew
Los tragos bajando, una vuelta escandalosa
Drinks going down, a scandalous turn
Una más buena que la otra (sí)
One more beautiful than the other (yes)
Pero se nota que tú eres la potra
But it’s clear that you are the standout
Tú sobresales como los metales
You shine like the metals
Y yo soy un tiguere de pura cepa
And I’m a pure-bred tiguere
Sé que hay algo detrás (tra)
I know there’s something behind (tra)
De esa mirada coqueta
That flirtatious look
¿Eres casada o comprometida?
Are you married or engaged?
Cuerpo caliente y sangre re fría
Hot body and cold blood
Vamos pa'l mambo, bailamos pegaos
Let's go to the mambo, we dance close
Y pegamos los cachos como un venao (wuh)
And we hit the bumps like a deer (wuh)
Y yo que no rompo un plato
And I who don’t break a dish
Y tú quieres romper toa la vajilla
And you want to break all the china
Tú eres puro contrabando
You’re pure smuggling
You're breaking the rules, you're so ilegal
You're breaking the rules, you're so illegal
Yo quería ir por las dos pistas con cuidado y sin beber
I wanted to take both lanes carefully and without drinking
Y tú querías camino verde volando en LSD
And you wanted a green path flying on LSD
Me di cuenta que preferías compartir el bistec
I realized you preferred to share the steak
Que un pellejo solo pa usted
Than to have a piece just for yourself
Fue un amor de contrabando

Me decías que era un perro y tú ladrando (woof, woof)
You told me I was a dog and you barking (woof, woof)
Tú conmigo y el otro loco pensando que tú

A que tú, amiguita, te estabas quedando

Dando, dando un amor de contra-
Giving, giving a love of contra-
Dale mambo
Come on mambo
Ah, llévatelo
Ah, take it away
Un amor de contrabando
A smuggled love
De Venezuela a la República, baby
From Venezuela to the Republic, baby
Un amor de contrabando
A smuggled love
Yo estoy suelto, tú estás suelta
I'm free, you're free
Aquí nada se respeta
Nothing is respected here
Se siente bien cabrón
It feels so damn good
Marvin Gaye, let's get it on
Marvin Gaye, let's get it on
Yo estoy suelto, tú estás suelta (el duro)
I'm free, you're free (the tough one)
Aquí nada se respeta (Rawayana)
Nothing is respected here (Rawayana)
Se siente bien cabrón (sí, sí)
It feels so damn good (yes, yes)
Marvin Gaye, let's get it on
Marvin Gaye, let's get it on
Se siente bien cabrón
It feels so damn good
Marvin Gaye, let's get it on
Marvin Gaye, let's get it on
Cero cotorra
Zero chatter
Se siente bien cabrón
It feels so damn good
Marvin Gaye, let's get it on (el negrito del swing)
Marvin Gaye, let's get it on (the little black guy with the swing)
Woof, woof (eh)
Woof, woof (eh)
Vos sabés que los pequeños de Náutico son los mejores
You know that the little ones from Náutico are the best
Estoy dando más vueltas que el restaurant del paseo, pa (fuimo)
I'm going around more than the restaurant on the promenade, pa (we went)
Díselo, Mazzari
Tell him, Mazzari
Vergación
Holy cow
Epa, Javier
Hey, Javier
Nos ta dando una verga a Manchao y a mí
Manchao and I are getting a hit
Verga, no sé qué pa-, ah, una galle-
Crap, I don’t know what to..., ah, a cookie-
Y después que nos comimos una mitad de una galletica
And after we ate half of a cookie
De esas que están ahí en una bolsa
One of those that are there in a bag
Creo que están envenená', una verga
I think they're poisoned, a damn thing
Yo no me puedo parar del piso aquí del carro
I can't get up from this floor here in the car
Ah, Manchao está ahí arriba
Ah, Manchao is up there
