Vamos aclarando este asuntico
Let's clear up this little matter
Ni tú estás pa' policía, ni yo para andar huyendo
Neither are you here for police work, nor am I here to be running
Vamos aclarando y te repito
Let's clarify and I repeat to you
Que no tengo todo el día para seguir discutiendo
That I don't have all day to keep on arguing
Si esto fuera una olimpiada romperías todos los récords
If this were an Olympics, you'd break all the records
De arruinarnos el momento
For ruining our moment
Vamos aclarando este pendiente
Let's clear up this pending issue
Yo no soy tu propiedad y me harté de hacerme el mudo
I'm not your property and I'm fed up with playing mute
Quítate el complejo de teniente
Get rid of that lieutenant complex
Que el amor sin libertad dura lo que un estornudo
Because love without freedom lasts as long as a sneeze
Son iguales los defectos que hoy me tiras en la cara
The flaws you throw in my face are the same today
Que al principio eran perfectos
That at first were perfect
Vamos aclarando el panorama
Let’s clear up the scene
Que hay pingüinos en la cama
Because there are penguins in the bed
Por el hielo que provocas
From the ice that you provoke
Si hace más de un mes que no me tocas
It's been over a month since you’ve touched me
Ni te dejas sobornar por este beso escurridizo
Nor do you let yourself be bribed by this elusive kiss
Que busca el cielo y encuentra el piso
That seeks the sky and finds the floor
Vamos aclarando el panorama
Let’s clear up the scene
Yo no estoy pa' crucigramas
I'm not here for crosswords
Ni tú para masoquista
Not you for a masochist
Ya no sueñas viajes al caribe
You don't dream of trips to the Caribbean anymore
Por tu rol de detective y mi papel del fugitivo
For your role as a detective and my role as the fugitive
Yo busco un sueño y tú un testigo
I'm searching for a dream and you're looking for a witness
Siempre con la misma cantaleta
Always with the same old song
"Me voy para no volver, tengo listo el equipaje"
"I'm leaving and won't come back, I've packed my bags"
Llenas y vacías la maleta
You fill and empty the suitcase
¿Cómo puedes pretender que me coma ese chantaje?
How can you expect me to fall for that blackmail?
Tienes cero en actuación, diez en manipulación
You get a zero in acting, a ten in manipulation
Y una beca en el psiquiatra
And a scholarship with the psychiatrist
Vamos aclarando el panorama
Let's clear up the view
Que hay pingüinos en la cama
That there are penguins in the bed
Por el hielo que provocas
From the ice that you provoke
Si hace más de un mes que no me tocas
If it's been over a month since you touched me
Ni te dejas sobornar por este beso escurridizo
Nor do you let yourself be bribed by this elusive kiss
Que busca el cielo y encuentra el piso
That seeks the sky and finds the floor
Vamos aclarando el panorama
Let's clear up the view
Yo no estoy pa' crucigramas
I'm not here for crosswords
Ni tú para masoquista
Nor are you for a masochist
Ya no sueñas viajes al caribe
You no longer dream of trips to the Caribbean
Por tu rol de detective y mi papel del fugitivo
For your role as a detective and my role as the fugitive
Yo busco un sueño y tú un testigo
I seek a dream and you seek a witness
Testigo
Witness
Testigo
Witness
Con la dosis justa de cinismo
With just the right dose of cynicism
Preguntas: "¿Qué harías sin mí, si ya no vuelves a verme?"
Questioning: 'What would you do without me, if you never see me again?'
Para ser sincero haría lo mismo
To be honest, I would do the same
Solo que si estoy sin ti, lo haría sin esconderme
Only if I'm without you, I'd do it without hiding
Lo haría sin esconderme
I'd do it without hiding
