Anoche estaba durmiendo
Last night I was sleeping
Desperté sobresaltada
I woke up startled.
Por los golpes que a mi puerta
For the knocks on my door
Eufóricamente dabas
Euphoric you gave
Quise abrirla, mas no pude
I wanted to open it, but I couldn't
Por la bulla que metías
For the noise you got
Despertaste a mi papito
You woke up my daddy
Que oyó cuando me decías
What he heard when you told me
Abre la puerta querida
Open the dear door
(Abre, abre, abre)
(Open, open, open)
Que te traigo un regalito
That I bring you a gift
(Rico, rico, rico)
(Rich, rich, rich)
Abre la puerta querida
Open the dear door
(Abre, abre, abre)
(Open, open, open)
Que te traigo una cosita
That I bring you a little thing
(Rica, rica, rica)
(Rich, rich, rich)
Abre la puerta querida
Open the dear door
Ábrela sin tardar
Open it without delay
Que todo lo que te traigo
That everything I bring you
Te va a gustar
You're going to like it
Abre la puerta querida
Open the dear door
Ábrela sin tardar
Open it without delay
Que todo lo que te traigo
That everything I bring you
Te va a gustar
You're going to like it
(Abre, abre, abre)
(Open, open, open)
(Rico, rico, rico)
(Rich, rich, rich)
Abre la puerta querida
Open the dear door
(Abre, abre, abre)
(Open, open, open)
Que te traigo una cosita
That I bring you a little thing
(Rica, rica, rica)
(Rich, rich, rich)
Abre la puerta querida
Open the dear door
Ábrela sin tardar
Open it without delay
Que todo lo que te traigo
That everything I bring you
Te va a gustar
You're going to like it
