Querida mujer, dos puntos
Dear woman, colon
No me hagas sufrir, coma
Don't make me suffer, comma
Hoy me decido a escribirte cartas de amor sincero
Today I decide to write you sincere love letters
Tú lo ves
You see it
Tu cariñito es un agujero
Your sweet love is a hole
Que me atraviesa el querer
That pierces my desire
Y sin tus besos en mi chaleco nada me cubre la piel
And without your kisses in my vest nothing covers my skin
Punto y seguido
Full stop
Como ves, solo pienso en ti yo
As you see, I only think of you
No me interesa la Perestroika ni el baloncesto ni Larry Bird
I'm not interested in Perestroika nor basketball nor Larry Bird
Y un sufrimiento a plazo fijo llevo en el pecho, mujer
And a fixed suffering I carry in my chest, woman
Quiéreme otra vez, llénate de mí
Love me again, fill yourself with me
Vida tengo yo, solo junto a ti, mamacita, eh
I have life, only with you, babe, eh
Querida mujer, dos puntos
Dear woman, colon
No me hagas sufrir, coma
Don't make me suffer, comma
Es la segunda carta que escribo
It's the second letter I write
Y no recibo nada de ti
And I receive nothing from you
Ya no me importa si hay lu' en el barrio
I don't care anymore if there's light in the neighborhood
O aumentará la inflación
Or if inflation will increase
Tan solo vivo por refugiarme
I only live to take refuge
Desnudo en tu corazón, punto y aparte
Naked in your heart, new paragraph
Júrame, eso quiero yo, tú ves
Swear to me, that's what I want, you see
Toma esa póliza de seguros si de amor muero
Take that insurance policy if I die of love
Y al menos háblame por teléfono algún consuelo de amor
And at least call me for some loving comfort
Quiéreme otra vez, llénate de mí
Love me again, fill yourself with me
Vida tengo yo, solo junto a ti, mamacita, eh
I have life, only with you, babe, eh
(Quiéreme otra vez)
(Love me again)
(No me hagas sufrir)
(Don't make me suffer)
(Quiéreme otra vez)
(Love me again)
Mi cielo, mi casa, mi amor de agujero, todo te lo di
My heaven, my home, my love-hole, I gave you everything
(Quiéreme otra vez) mamita querida
(Love me again) dear babe
(No me hagas sufrir) recuerda el pasado
(Don't make me suffer) remember the past
(Quiéreme otra vez) te escribo mil cartas
(Love me again) I write you a thousand letters
Las busca el cartero y nada me has dado
The mailman looks for them and you've given me nothing
(Quiéreme otra vez) que no, que no, tus sueños despertaron, mira
(Love me again) no, no, your dreams awakened, look
(No me hagas sufrir) toa' mi pasión
(Don't make me suffer) all my passion
(Quiéreme otra vez) envuelto en una llama todo de cariño
(Love me again) all wrapped in a flame of affection
Y un poquitico de amor es lo que te pido
And a little bit of love is what I ask of you
(Quiéreme otra vez) que no, que no
(Love me again) no, no
(No me hagas sufrir) que no, que no, que no no no, sin ti me rindo
(Don't make me suffer) no, no, no no no, without you I surrender
(Quiéreme otra vez) y en el bolsillo 'e mi chaleco, mira
(Love me again) and in my vest's pocket, look
Nada me queda, todo te lo di, yeah
Nothing is left for me, I gave you everything, yeah
(Quiéreme otra vez) mamita querida
(Love me again) dear babe
(No me hagas sufrir) mi sueño dorado
(Don't make me suffer) my golden dream
(Quiéreme otra vez) recuerda cobrar al seguro
(Love me again) remember to collect from the insurance
Que muero, que nada me has dado
That I'm dying, that you've given me nothing
(Quiéreme otra vez) ni la Perestroika
(Love me again) nor Perestroika
(No me hagas sufrir) ni un juego 'e pelota
(Don't make me suffer) nor a ball game
(Quiéreme otra vez) tan solo yo vivo
(Love me again) I only live
Midiendo el camino pa' besar tu boca
Measuring the path to kiss your mouth
(Quiéreme otra vez) te escribo y te escribo
(Love me again) I write to you and I write to you
(Otra vez) y nada recibo
(Again) and I receive nothing
(Otra vez) se acaba la tinta
(Again) the ink runs out
De mi lapicero y yo más te quiero
From my pen and I love you more
(Quiéreme otra vez) amor sin cadenas
(Love me again) love without chains
(Otra vez) sueltan a Mandela
(Again) they release Mandela
(Otra vez) que en el bolsillo de mi chaleco, mira
(Again) that in my vest's pocket, look
Nada me queda, todo te lo di, yeah
Nothing is left for me, I gave you everything, yeah
Oye

Perestroika — Perestroika

The word Perestroika refers to the political and economic reforms initiated in the Soviet Union in the 1980s. It's a very specific historical term that you wouldn't expect to find in a love song.

Juan Luis Guerra uses it humorously to emphasize the depth of his infatuation. He declares that he's so consumed by love that he doesn't care about major world events like "la Perestroika ni el baloncesto ni Larry Bird" (Perestroika, basketball, or Larry Bird), highlighting how all-encompassing his feelings are.
