No dejabas de mirar, estabas sola
You kept looking, you were alone
Completamente bella y sensual
Completely beautiful and sensual
Algo me arrastó hacia ti como una ola
Something swept me towards you like a wave
Y fui y te dije 'hola, ¿qué tal?'
And I went and said 'hello, how are you?'
Esa noche entre tus brazos, caí en la trampa
That night in your arms, I fell into the trap
Cazaste al aprendiz de seductor
You hunted the apprentice seducer
Y me diste de comer sobre tu palma
And you gave me food on your palm
Haciéndome tu humilde servidor
Making me your humble servant

Hay que ver cómo es el amor
You have to see what love is like
Que vuelve a quien lo toma
That returns to those who take it
Gavilán o paloma
Sparrowhawk or pigeon
Pobre tonto, ingenuo charlatán
Poor fool, naïve charlatan
Que fui paloma por querer ser gavilán
That I was a dove for wanting to be a sparrowhawk

Fui bajando lentamente tu vestido
I slowly lowered your dress
Y tú no me dejaste ni hablar
And you didn't let me even speak.
Solamente suspirabas 'te necesito'
You only sighed 'I need you'
Abrázame más fuerte, más
Hold me tighter, more
Al mirarte me sentí desengañado
Looking at you I felt disillusioned
Solo me dio frío tu calor
I was only cold by your heat
Lentamente, te solté de entre mis brazos
Slowly, I released you from my arms.
Y dije 'estate quieta, por favor'
And I said 'be still, please'
