| Es que su carita me mata | Her delicate visage is a blade pressed to my heart, |
| Me sedució con su mirada | She ensnared me in the labyrinth of her gaze, |
| Y me dejo ilusionado | And left me entranced, chasing mirages through dusk, |

| Ella sabe de lo que se trata | She plumbs the depths of this intricate game, |
| Yo sé que nunca le interesó la plata | I know her soul never bowed to silver’s lure, |
| Ahora se queda sola y desesperada | Now, forsaken, she lingers on the shore of despair, |
| Como una malvada solita se va | Alone she drifts away—wicked, yet wreathed in shadow. |
| Yo solo necesito una ocasión | I require but a single, slender hour, |
| No quisiera vivir una ilusión | For I would not wish to live within a waking dream, |
| Eso me ta' matando | This torment devours me, bite by bite, |
| Hasta tener la solución | Until somewhere, a key is found for this riddle. |

| Es que la conocí bailando Lambada | For I first beheld her as we danced the Lambada, |
| Bailamos hasta la madrugada | We spun through the hush until dawn’s pale fire, |

| Bailamos con mas sensualidad | We moved with a flame more molten than ever before, |
| Pa' mantener la complicidad | To weave our complicity, silent, luminous as thieves, |
| Y eso te vuelve muy loquita mamita | And that makes you wild, little hurricane of mine, |
| Porque no me llamas quiero saber | Why do you not call? This pining carves me hollow, I must know. |
| Es que eso me mata no se que hacer | This ache is a blade, and I am lost in its shadow, |
| Sonrisa de gata como tu me tratas | Your feline smile, the silk of your voice around me, |
| Ven baila conmigo hasta el amanecer | Come, dance beside me until the world is reborn in light. |
