Ya Que Metí La Pata [English translation]

Since I've already put my foot in my mouth1, I'm gonna put it in all the way

Since I'm already on the roof, get me off the ladder

And since we're alone, take a seat please

Let me have another drink to give me more courage

Since I've already put my foot in my mouth, I'm gonna put in the other

I only meant to think it, but it came out of my mouth

And to be honest with you, I'm still thinking the same thing

I just hope your TV is on the same channel

I hope you have time and you don't leave me talking to myself

I hope the guests take a little longer

I wish the door would stay closed tight

And that there are no locksmiths in the whole city

How I would like to not fail in the attempt

I just hope my nerves have been left behind

I'm sorry if my fingers made marks on your arms

Or if I've scared you with the way I look at you

And even though I had everything worked out

I feel like a lawyer about to lose the trial

I don't expect you to understand me, I just want you to know

Or, I don't know if I wanted to, but anyhow I'm already here

I understand if your plans don't coincide with mine

But how good does it feel to say this in third grade

I hope you'll sleep on it2

Or maybe if you prefer for us to find out together

Right now please don't say anything

I'll just leave you silent, that's all, for 10 seconds

And after that kiss, you'll say if you reject me

Or maybe it'll become the most beautiful thing in the world
