Suavecito me pusiste todo en su lugar
Gently you put everything in its place
Suavecito como un juego para armar
Gently like a game to assemble
Empezaste corrigiendo males al azar
You started correcting evils at random
Como al barro el alfarero, como brisa de aguacero
Like clay to the potter, like a breeze from a downpour
Conquistaste, suavecito
You conquered, gently
Colocaste besos justamente en el lugar
You placed kisses right in the spot
Suavecitos cirugía para curar
Softly, surgery to heal
Las heridas que dejó el pasado sin sanar
The wounds that the past left unhealed
Y en el caos de mi infierno instalaste tu gobierno
And in the chaos of my hell, you installed your reign
Ya arrasaste, suavecito
You've already swept through, gently
Suavecito, fuiste casi imperceptible
Gentle, you were almost imperceptible
Sin prisas de a poquito
No rush, little by little
Colocaste tu bandida inamovible
You placed your unyielding bandit
Suavecito, fuiste tan demoledora
Gentle, you were so devastating
Pasito con pasito
Step by step
Tu paciencia arrolladora me salvó, suavecito
Your overwhelming patience saved me, gently
Suavecito fue ganando con saber perder
Gently, it was winning by knowing how to lose
Suavecito, sin afanes de imponer
Gently, without the urge to impose
Con la calma que viene del tacto de mujer
With the calm that comes from a woman's touch
Como huella de gaviota, como se forma una gota
Like a seagull's trace, like how a drop forms
Me atrapaste, suavecito
You caught me, gently
Me aceptaste como un cero izquierdo y sin valor
You accepted me as a worthless left zero
Me peleaste, sin nada a tu favor
You fought me, with nothing in your favor
Con la suavidad con la que se mueve un rumor
With the softness of a whispering rumor
Como el paso de un anciano
Like the step of an old man
Con paciencia de artesano
With the patience of a craftsman
Me salvaste, suavecito
You saved me, gently
Suavecito, fuiste casi imperceptible
Gently, you were almost unnoticeable
Sin prisas de a poquito
Taking your time little by little
Colocaste tu bandida inamovible
You placed your unyielding bandit
Suavecito, fuiste tan demoledora
So gentle, you were so devastating
Pasito con pasito
Step by step
Tu paciencia arrolladora conquistó
Your overwhelming patience won me over
Suavecito
So gentle
