Ya no puedo seguir aguantando tanto
I can't keep holding on like this anymore
A la infame de tu abuela y a tu viejo que es un espanto
To the infamous one, your grandma, and to your old man, what a fright
A tu madre y su comida francesa
To your mother and her French cuisine
Que en vez de hambre me da tristeza
That instead of hunger brings me sadness
Ya no puedo seguir, realmente estoy harto
I can't go on, I'm really fed up
Darte un beso o acariciarte en casa resulta más difícil que un parto
Kissing you or touching you at home is harder than giving birth
Y mi economía ya no soporta
And my finances just can't take it anymore
Tanto soborno para el idiota de tu hermanito
So much bribery for your little idiot brother
Y tu tía que presume de pura
And your aunt, who boasts of purity
No hace más que enseñarme las piernas y guiñarme el ojo
Only shows me her legs and winks at me
Tu casa es casa de locos
Your house is a house of crazies
Y tú también otro poco
And you are a bit crazy too
Por seguir allí y no venirte aquí conmigo
For staying there and not coming here with me
Tu casa es casa de locos
Your house is a house of crazies
Y tú también otro poco
And you are a bit crazy too
Por seguir allí y no venirte aquí conmigo
For staying there and not coming here with me
Tu casa es casa de locos
Your house is a house of crazies
Tu perro no me deja en paz ni un rato
Your dog won't leave me alone for a minute
En plena reunión familiar le hace el amor a mi zapato
In the middle of a family gathering, he loves my shoe
Y los arañazos en mi espalda
And the scratches on my back
Son por culpa de tu maldito gato
It's all because of your damn cat
Por eso me vine a mi casa
That's why I came back home
Y prefiero extrañarte a poner un pie en la tuya
And I'd rather miss you than set foot in yours
Tu casa es casa de locos
Your house is a house of crazies
Y tú también otro poco
And you're a bit crazy too
Por seguir allí y no venirte aquí conmigo
For staying there and not coming here with me
Tu casa es casa de locos
Your house is a house of crazies
Y tú también otro poco
And you're a bit crazy too
Por seguir allí y no venirte aquí conmigo
For staying there and not coming here with me
Tu casa es casa de locos
Your house is a house of crazies
Ayer tocaron mi puerta y eras tú con tu maleta
Yesterday they knocked on my door and it was you with your suitcase
Bajo el brazo y en francés, un viejo libro de recetas
Under your arm and in French, an old book of recipes
Y te abracé aunque comprendí
And I hugged you even though I understood
Que se repetiría la misma historia
That the same story would repeat itself
Ahora en mi banqueta
Now on my sidewalk
