Era tan pobre que no tenía más que dinero

Besos de sobre de herencia de su padre naviero
Kisses from an inheritance envelope from his father's shipping company
Anfetaminas y alcohol, desayuno Miss Onassis,
Amphetamines and alcohol, breakfast Miss Onassis,
Pobre Cristina, que al fin logró quedarse en el chasis
Poor Cristina, who finally managed to stay on the chassis
Solo yo se que dice la pura verdad
Only I know what the pure truth says
Cuando jura que toda su fortuna daría
When she swears that all her fortune would give
Por echarse un noviete aburrido y formal
For having a boring and formal noviete
Por entrar de oficiala en una peluquería
For entering as an official in a hairdresser
Cris, Cris, Cristina
Chris, Chris, Cristina
Suspira y fantasea con que la piropea un albañil
She sighs and fantasizes about being complimented by a bricklayer
Cris, Cris, Cristina
Chris, Chris, Cristina
Que un botones vea si le puede conseguir pastillas para dormir
Have a bellboy see if she can get him sleeping pills
Corazón tierno, los dueños del verano la miman
Tender heart, the owners of summer pamper her
Pero el invierno no se lo saca nunca de encima
But winter never gets rid of it
Con su cara de dólar ha amortizado varios maridos

Pero siempre está sola poniéndole una vela a Cupido
But she's always alone putting a candle to Cupid
De la isla de Scorpios en yate a New York

Del gran baile de Mónaco a cenar al Maxim's

Guardaespaldas armados la sacan del Rolls

Un amante alquilado le calienta la suite

Cris, Cris, Cristina
Chris, Chris, Cristina
Dirige una oficina sentada en la piscina de incosol
She runs an office sitting by the incosol pool
Cris, Cris, Cristina
Chris, Chris, Cristina
Aunque se derrita empapadita de sudor no se quita el albornoz
Although she melts, drenched in sweat, she does not take off her bathrobe
Mil y un tipejos las flechas del amor le disparan
A thousand and one little fellows the arrows of love shoot at him
Sólo el espejo le escupe la verdad a la cara
Only the mirror spits the truth in your face
Nadie le advierte que al cielo no se va en Limusina
No one warns you that you don't go to heaven in a limousine
Que mala suerte que no acepte la muerte propina
Too bad she doesn't accept death tip
Vale más ser la hija de fulano de tal
It's better to be the daughter of so-and-so
Que la niña mimada de los ojos de ari

Pesa tanto la sombra de papá superman
She weighs as much the shadow of daddy superman
Míralo en esa foto organizando un safari

Aunque se derrita perfumada de sudor no se quita el albornoz
