  1. Lo nuestro, pa' empezar, no es de novela

    What we have, to begin with, isn't a romance novel

  3. Ni haremos de "Love Story" la secuela

    Nor will we be making a sequel to 'Love Story'

  4. Ni somos, de este circo, marionetas

    Nor are we, in this circus, mere puppets

  5. Lo nuestro, tiene un poco de desquite

    What we have, has a hint of revenge

  6. Y no comparte fines de semana

    And it doesn't share weekends

  7. Lo nuestro, se cocina en escondite

  8. Y se sirve de a dos sobre la cama

    And it’s served for two on the bed

  9. Por hoy, déjame ser tu hombre perfecto

    For today, let me be your perfect man

  10. Mientras que te aparece el indicado

    While the right one appears for you

  11. Para casarte, busca un arquitecto

    To marry you, find an architect

  12. Para hacer el amor, un desalmado

    To make love, a heartless one

  13. Lo nuestro, no pregunta por futuros

  14. Jamás llegué o me fui con equipaje

  15. Lo nuestro, se sustenta en lo inseguro

  27. Este amor durará hasta que quieras

    This love will last until you want it to

  28. Lo nuestro es, por salvaje, verdadero

    What we have is, for being wild, true

  29. Y no se ampara en códigos morales

    And it doesn't rely on moral codes

  30. Lo nuestro es clandestino y tan sincero

  31. Que no precisa abrir más sucursales

  47. Ni yo pa' barbeques ni domingadas

  48. Aquí, cada quien va para su casa

    Here, everyone goes back to their own home

  49. Y no se anda con tanta tarugada

    And we don't mess around with so much nonsense
