Vamos aclarando este asuntico,
Let's clarify this little matter,
Ni tu estas pa' policía,
Neither are you for the police,
Ni yo para andar huyendo.
Nor am I for running away.
Vamos aclarando y te repito,
Let's clarify and I'll repeat,
Que no tengo todo el día para seguir discutiendo,
That I don't have all day to keep arguing,
Si esto fuera una olimpiada,
If this were an Olympics,
Romperías todos los records,
You'd break all the records,
De arruinarnos el momento.
For ruining our moment.
Vamos aclarando este pendiente,
Let's clarify this pending issue,
Yo no soy tu propiedad,
I am not your property,
Y me harte de hacerme el mudo.
And I got tired of pretending to be mute.
Quitate el complejo de teniente,
Take off that lieutenant complex,
Que el amor sin libertad dura lo que un estornudo,
For 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 today are the same,
Y al principio eran perfectos.
And at first, they 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 you provoke,
Si hace más de un mes que no me tocas,
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 slippery kiss,
Que busca el cielo y encuentra el piso.
What seeks the sky and finds the floor.
Vamos aclarando el panorama,
Let's clear the horizon,
Yo no estoy pa' crucigramas,
I'm not here for crosswords,
Ni tú para masoquista,
Nor are you for masochism,
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 detective and my role as 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 tune,
Me voy para no volver,
I'm leaving to never return,
Tengo listo el equipaje.
I've got my bags ready.
Llenas y vacías la maleta,
You fill and empty the suitcase,
Como puedes pretender que me coma ese chantaje,
How can you expect me to fall for that blackmail,
Tienes 0 en actuación 10 en manipulación,
You score a zero in acting, a ten in manipulation,
Y una beca en el psiquiatra.
And a scholarship in psychiatry.
Vamos aclarando el panorama,
Let's clarify the situation,
Que hay pingüinos en la cama,
Because there are penguins in the bed,
Por el hielo que provocas,
From the ice you create,
Si hace más de un mes que no me tocas,
It's been over a month since you touched me,
Ni te dejas sobornar por este beso escurridizo,
Nor will you let yourself be bribed by this elusive kiss,
Que busca boca y encuentra el piso.
That seeks lips but finds the floor.
Vamos aclarando el panorama,
Let's clarify the scene,
Yo no estoy pa' crucigramas,
I'm not here for crosswords,
Ni tú para masoquista,
Nor are you for masochism,
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,
Due to your role as detective and my role as the fugitive,
Yo busco un sueño, y tú un testigo.
I seek a dream, and you seek a witness.
Con la dosis justa de cinismo,
With the right dose of cynicism,
Preguntas que harías sin mi,
Questions you would ask without me,
Si ya no vuelves a verme.
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,
Only if I'm without you,
Lo haría sin esconderme,
I would do it without hiding,
Lo haría sin esconderme.
I would do it without hiding.
