Oficio De Enamorado Lyrics in English Juan Luis Guerra
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Oficio De Enamorado by Juan Luis Guerra from Spanish to English.
Salgo de la casa, corro por las calles
I leave the house, run through the streets
Y un rayo me atrapa con su luz
And a lightning bolt traps me with its light
Leo los diarios, Jordan retirado
I read the newspapers, Jordan retired
Y el colesterol no ayuda a mi salu'

Opinan todos menos tú
Everyone gives their opinion except you
Pero te digo que yo
But I tell you that I
Me siento en la acera, te escribo un poema
Sit on the sidewalk, write you a poem
Y un perro me guiña un ojo azul
And a dog winks at me with a blue eye
Oigo mil llamadas, no respondo nada
I hear a thousand calls, I don't respond at all
El código de área de mi comprensión

Se lo entregué a tu corazón, negrita linda
