Oye, me dio una fiebre el otro día
Hey, I got a fever the other day
Por causa de tu amor, cristiana
Because of your love, my dear
Que fui a parar a enfermería
That I ended up in the infirmary
Sin yo tener seguro de cama
Without even having a bed reserved
Y me inyectaron suero de colores, ey
And they injected me with colorful serum, hey
Y me sacaron la radiografía
And they took my X-ray
Y me diagnosticaron mal de amores, mmm
And they diagnosed me with lovesickness, mmm
Al ver mi corazón como latía
Upon seeing how my heart was beating
Oye, y me trastearon hasta el alma
Hey, and they rummaged through my very soul
Con rayos equis y cirugía
With X-rays and surgery
Y es que la ciencia no funciona
And it's that science doesn't work
Sólo tus besos, vida mía
Only your kisses, my life
Ay negra, mira búscate un catéter, ey
Oh babe, look, get yourself a catheter, hey
E inyéctame tu amor como insulina

bilirrubina — bilirubin

Bilirrubina refers to "bilirubin", a yellow pigment found in bile. It's a very unique and memorable word, especially for a song title!

In this iconic merengue song, Juan Luis Guerra uses "bilirrubina" metaphorically to describe the overwhelming physical and emotional symptoms of being deeply in love. He humorously compares the intense feelings of love to a medical condition, where his love for someone causes his "bilirubin" to rise, making him feel sick with passion. This creative and unusual comparison makes the word stand out and perfectly captures the song's playful yet ardent tone.
