La Bilirrubina Lyrics in English Juanes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Bilirrubina by Juanes from Spanish to English.
Hey, a fever hit me the other day
Because of your love, Christian
That I ended up in the infirmary
Without me having a bed secured
And they injected me colored serum
And they took my X-ray
And they diagnosed me lovesickness, mmm
When they saw how my heart was beating
Hey, and they messed with me down to my soul
With X-rays and surgery
And it's that science doesn't work
Only your kisses, my love
Oh babe, look, get a catheter
And inject me your love like insulin
And give me vitamin of affection
That my bilirubin has risen
My bilirubin goes up, ay!
When I look at you and you don't look at me
And aspirin won't make it go away
It's a love that pollutes
Hey, my bilirubin goes up, ay!
When I look at you and you don't look at me
And aspirin won't make it go away
It's a love that pollutes
H-hey!
Oh babe, look, get a catheter
And inject me your love like insulin
My face is dressed in yellow
And my bilirubin has gone up
My bilirubin goes up, ay!
When I look at you and you don't look at me
And aspirin won't make it go away
It's a love that pollutes
Hey, my bilirubin goes up, ay!
When I look at you and you don't look at me
And aspirin won't make it go away
It's a love that pollutes
H-hey!

SONG MEANING

La Bilirrubina is a joyful, tongue-in-cheek confession of lovesickness. The singer rushes to the hospital with fever, yellow skin and a skyrocketing bilirubin count, but every X-ray and injection is useless because the real problem is mal de amores — being hopelessly in love. With lively Caribbean rhythms, he tells the nurse that only his sweetheart’s kisses can work better than any serum, vitamin or aspirin.

Through playful medical metaphors, the lyrics turn a classic love predicament into a fun bedside comedy. The rising bilirubin represents the excitement and anxiety of unreturned glances, while the call for a “catéter” filled with affection shows how love can feel like both a disease and its own cure. It is an upbeat reminder that sometimes chemistry in the heart overrules actual chemistry in the lab, and the only prescription is to dance, sing and surrender to romance.
