Now it excites me, that you get silly

And your skirt to pull it up

Now it excites me, that coincidence

And meeting in the streets of Madrid

And now it excites me, that you write to me for hours

That we are as persistent as Ali

Now it excites me, that you tell me forever

And for me

Now it excites me, that you don't pay any mind

To your friends when they call to go out

Now it excites me, that you say Rome

That's the place where you want to say yes

And now it excites me, that you go crazy

Because you think there's someone else behind me

And now it excites me, that you tell me you're staying until death

(Until death)

It no longer excites me, that we're alone

Nor hearing you say this lasts until death

It no longer excites me, your short skirt

And that you talk to me about living

It no longer excites me, that there are still commas here

I want the period that already distances me from you

It no longer excites me, neither Paris, nor Rome

Nor that you say you're coming to live

(To live)

Did you like this lyrics translation?

carambola — fluke / lucky shot

Carambola literally refers to a 'carom' in billiards, where the cue ball hits two other balls. Figuratively, it means a 'fluke' or a 'lucky shot' – an unexpected and fortunate turn of events.

In the song, Dani Martin uses it to describe the serendipitous feeling of running into someone on the streets of Madrid. It's a charming and slightly whimsical word that captures the joy of an unplanned, happy encounter, making it memorable and unique.

"Ahora" runs its own title in reverse. Dani Martín spends the first half listing everything that used to excite him: her getting silly, her short skirt, the way she’d ignore her friends’ calls to stay in with him. Then the song flips — "Ya no me emociona, que aquí queden comas" ("It no longer excites me, that there are still commas here") — and repeats the same list only to say none of it moves him anymore. He wants a hard stop, not a pause: "Quiero el punto que me aleje ya de ti" ("I want the period that already distances me from you"). The punctuation carries the whole argument — commas keep a relationship open, a period ends it.
