Todo dice: "made in China" y yo sin hablar inglés
Everything says: 'made in China' and I'm without speaking English
No me importa ni me arruina que esté en jaque mi ajedrez
It doesn't matter to me or ruin me that my chess is in check
Más de 30 mil noticias en el matutino de hoy
Over 30 thousand headlines in today's morning paper
Está de moda la injusticia y ya no sé si vengo o voy
Injustice is in fashion and I no longer know if I'm coming or going
Hacer patria es hacernos el amor
Making a homeland is making love to each other
Si tu falda es mi camisa y tu suspiro mi huracán
If your skirt is my shirt and your sigh is my hurricane
Si mi llanto les da risa, si mi paz es tu volcán
If my tears make them laugh, if my peace is your volcano
Si no hay nada que nos una, vamos a unirnos los dos
If there's nothing that unites us, let's unite the two of us
Tantos viajes a la luna, tanta iglesia para un Dios
So many trips to the moon, so much church for one God
Hacer patria es hacernos el amor
Making a homeland is making love to each other
Bésame y no pares
Kiss me and don't stop
Pídeme lo mismo
Ask me for the same
Finge que no sabes
Pretend that you don't know
Que vivir es solo un acto de cinismo
That living is just an act of cynicism
Y que hacer patria es hacernos el amor
And that making a homeland is making love to ourselves
Si el horóscopo me miente para hacerme sonreír
If the horoscope lies to me just to make me smile
No me sumaré a la gente solo por sobrevivir
I won't join the crowd just to survive
Con mi mundo entre tus piernas y tus brazos por cuartel
With my world between your legs and your arms as my fortress
Habrá luz en las tinieblas, habrá magia en el papel
There will be light in the darkness, there will be magic on the paper
Hacer patria es hacernos el amor
Making a homeland is making love to ourselves
Bésame y no pares
Kiss me and don't stop
Pídeme lo mismo
Ask me for the same thing
Finge que no sabes
Pretend you don't know
Que vivir es solo un acto de cinismo
That living is just an act of cynicism
Y bésame y no pares
And kiss me and don't stop
Pídeme lo mismo
Ask me for the same thing
Finge que no sabes
Pretend you don't know
Que vivir es solo un acto de cinismo
That living is just an act of cynicism
Y que hacer patria es hacernos el amor
And that making a homeland is to make love to ourselves
