  1. Era un jueves gris, llovía

    It was a gray Thursday, it was raining

  2. Pídeme un remis, decía

    Ask me for a ride, she said

  3. En el lobby de un hotel barato

    In the lobby of a cheap hotel

  4. Viene de rentar su piel un rato

    She comes from renting her skin for a while

  5. Con la algarabía del deber cumplido

    With the excitement of duty fulfilled

  6. Acrobacias del placer fingido

    Acrobatics of feigned pleasure

  7. Un orgasmo de alquiler, con ruidos

    A rented orgasm, with noises

  8. Pone boca en su carmín escaso

    She puts her mouth in her scarce lipstick

  1. Arañando el adoquín, sus pasos

    Scraping the cobblestone, her steps

  2. Quien tiene algo para la nariz, pregunta

    Who has something for the nose, asks

  3. Podría ser de utilidad mi pañuelo

    My handkerchief could be of use

  4. Disfracé de ingenuidad mi anzuelo

    I disguised my hook with innocence

  5. Algo para no dormir idiota

    Something to keep me from sleeping, idiot

  6. Si me das podrías pedir mi ropa

    If you give me, you might ask for my clothes

  7. Donde encuentro nieve pal desvelo ahora

    Where do I find snow for my wakefulness now

  8. Creo que cien podría ajustar

    I think I could adjust a hundred

  9. ¿Te animas?, para-pa-para-pa

    Are you up for it?, para-pa-para-pa

  10. Mi depa' está al cruzar la esquina

    My place is just around the corner

  11. Estoy solo como tú, fulana

    I'm alone like you, you flirt

  12. Te invito a estrenar la luz, mañana

    I invite you to unveil the light, tomorrow

  13. No te quiero pa desarreglar la cama

    I don't want you to mess up the bed,

  14. No es lo que haces con tu boca, mi muñeca rota lo que solicito

    It's not what you do with your mouth, my broken doll, that's what I ask for.

  15. Te puedes dejar la ropa, mi muñeca rota, no la necesito

    You can keep your clothes on, my broken doll, I don't need it.

  16. No es mojar la calentura, hurgar en tu cintura, lo que ando buscando

    It's not about wetting the heat, probing at your waist, that's not what I'm looking for.

  17. Es un poco de ternura para ver si cura lo que estoy pasando

    It's a bit of tenderness to see if it heals what I'm going through.

  18. Dijo si sin sonreír, camina

    She said yes without smiling, walk.

  19. Dime; ¿si el sexo sin placer te enciende?

    Tell me; does sex without pleasure turn you on?

  20. Solo si el cliente es mujer, lo entiendes

    Only if the client is a woman, you understand.

  21. Disimulando argumenté, está claro

    I argued discreetly, it's clear.

  22. No te creas que me parece raro

    Don't think I find it strange.

  23. Cada quien su gusto y su pasión, le dije

    To each their own taste and passion, I told you

  24. Te podría sujetar la mano

    I could hold your hand

  25. Dame cien para empezar y hablamos

    Give me a hundred to start and we’ll talk

  26. Los busqué en mi pantalón y nada

    I searched my pants and found nothing

  27. Fui debajo del colchón y estaban

    I looked under the mattress and there they were

  28. Se los di como quien compra un par de alas

    I gave them away like someone buying a pair of wings

  29. No es lo que haces con tu boca mi muñeca rota lo que solicito

    It's not what you do with your mouth, my broken doll, that I'm asking for

  30. Te puedes dejar la ropa, mi muñeca rota, no la necesito

    You can keep your clothes on, my broken doll, I don't need them

  31. No es mojar la calentura, hurgar en tu cintura, lo que ando buscando

    It's not about dampening the heat, probing your waist, that I'm looking for

  32. Es un poco de ternura para ver si cura lo que estoy pasando

    It's a bit of tenderness to see if it heals what I'm going through

  33. Miró el buró y sin sonreír

    She looked at the desk and without a smile

  34. Momento

    Moment

  35. Si es tu ex la del buró no hay trato

    If it's your ex on the desk, there's no deal

  37. La conoces, pregunté, confuso

    You know her, I asked, confused

  38. Fue por mí quien te dejo, iluso

    It was because of me that she left you, foolish
