El Mambo [English translation]

(1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, mambo)

Last night you thought about, dreamed about your baby

In the background the moon, bigger, fuller

Classical, mystical, it's very good

I'm going to entangle you in my mane

In the dimensions of the emeralds

The drum wants to go up my back

Karate on the dance floor, the night's on fire

You're thinking about getting me out of this skirt

I am the singer

And I will love you as I want, thinking

Of a time long past, I feel you distant

I fill your days, I wait for you in the afternoon

This smells like a macho man to me

Cooked in the juice of a fascist

Why are you marking territory?

If I always fill your glass, boy

How's my postmodern song going?

To make your legs sweat

Let out the fever, golden mouth

As in caveman times

I wrote these rhymes wounded

You left my heart broken

You wasted my seven lives

You poured out your earthquake

I'm not your pretty little girl

I don't want your holy water

I don't understand why so much jealousy

Relax a little

I'm suffocating

I'm goin' out in the street

I'm goin' out in the street

I'm goin' out in the street

I know what you are

You are jealous, jealous

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know1

You are jealous, you're jealous

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

What you've got is poison

You need good love

Tell me, what's wrong with you, dark-haired boy?

We'll see each other again in my silver mouth

Blindly I loved you again

You don't believe me, I miss you too

From the clearest sky in the world

There in the bottom

At the end of a ray

All of yours is mine

Mountains of contraband

Carnivals call you in Rio2

Do you want to hear me singing?

Your jealousy is killing me

The nights are making me bleed

They hurt me, torture me

Love falls like a ripe fruit

This is your killer ninja love

There's nothing subtle about it

It's getting tangled up inside me

Like whirlpools

I'm not your pretty little girl

I don't want your holy water

I don't understand why so much jealousy

Relax a little

I'm suffocating

I'm goin' out in the street

I'm goin' out in the street

I'm goin' out in the street

I know what you are

You are jealous, you're jealous

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

You are jealous, you're jealous

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

What happened to Lupita?

(I don't know)

What happened to Lupita?

What does her mom tell her?

What a dance Lupita

You are jealous, you're jealous

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know

You are jealous, you're jealous

I know, I know, I know, I know, I know
