Llegó papá
Dad has arrived
Yo no soy bello
I'm not beautiful
Vean mi nariz, labios pequeños y sobrepeso
Look at my nose, small lips, and extra weight
Ropa fina, escondiendo mis defectos
Fine clothes, hiding my flaws
Pero sus ojos de amor eso no ven
But your loving eyes don't see that
Puedo ser terco
I can be stubborn
Antisocial en ocasiones, pero sincero
Antisocial at times, but sincere
Buen amante por complacer mi propio ego
A good lover to please my own ego
Pero sus ojos de amor eso no ven
But your loving eyes don't see that
Y le he roto el corazón más de una vez
And I've broken your heart more than once
Me perdona, siempre se rinde a mis pies
Forgive me, she always surrenders at my feet
Esa es su filosofía
That is her philosophy
Amarme sin medida
Love me without measure
Su amor es sordo y ciego
Their love is deaf and blind
Ella muere por mí
She longs for me
Es un amor casi enfermizo
It's a love that's almost sickly
Obediente, excede la normalidad
Obedient, it goes beyond the ordinary
Y muere por mí
And dies for me
No ve los pliegues ni los fallos en mi cuerpo
She doesn't see the folds or the flaws in my body
Soy su todo, su verdad
I am her everything, her truth
Hechizada
Enchanted
No puede abandonarme
Can't leave me behind
Le he fallado, y en instantes me da
I have failed her, and in moments she gives me
Otra oportunidad
Another chance
Y muere por mí
And she yearns for me
Ella es la bella, y yo, la bestia radical
She is the beauty, and I, the radical beast
Te dije que no soy bello
I told you I'm not handsome
Y de perfecto no tengo nada
And I'm far from perfect
Pero soy tu rey, mami
But I'm your king, babe
The king
The king
I am a beast!
I am a beast!
Yes, sir!
Yes, sir!
Ella muere por mí
She longs for me
Es un amor casi enfermizo
It's a love that's almost sickening
Obediente, excede la normalidad
Obedient, it exceeds all norms
Y muere por mí
And she dies for me
No ve los pliegues ni los fallos en mi cuerpo
She sees neither the folds nor the flaws in my body
Soy su todo, su verdad
I am her everything, her truth
Hechizada
Enchanted
No puede abandonarme
She can't abandon me
Le he fallado, y en instantes me da
I've let her down, and in moments she gives me
Otra oportunidad
Another chance
Y muere por mí
And she longs for me
Ella es la bella, y yo, la bestia radical
She is the beauty, and I, the radical beast
En sus ojitos soy hermoso
In her little eyes, I'm beautiful
Perfecto, precioso
Perfect, precious
Me adora, soy su niño bonito
She adores me, I'm her pretty boy
Soy su delirio, un poeta
I'm her delight, a poet
Y aunque no me la merezca, la amo
And even though I don't deserve her, I love her
De forma indirecta
In an indirect way
Ella es abril, una violeta
She is April, a violet
Yo, un enero gris
I, a gray January
Un cactus complejo, frío como un invierno
A complex cactus, cold as a winter
You need this in your life
You need this in your life
Ella muere por mí
She longs for me
