Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ella Sabe by Ricardo Arjona from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
No cupo el ombligo en su blusa
She didn't fit the navel in her blouse
Falda bonsái paletón
Bonsai skirt shoulder
Curvas de montaña rusa
Roller coaster curves
Medias de blanco algodón
White cotton stockings
Te mueves en la banqueta
You move on the sidewalk
Con tu piel de celofán
With your cellophane skin
Y un albañil se hace poeta
And a bricklayer becomes a poet
Y un soldadito capitán
And a little soldier captain
Ella sabe que la miro
She knows I look at her
Y yo sabiendo que ella sabe
And me knowing that she knows
Meto el amor en un suspiro
I put love in a breath
Si es que en un suspiro cabe
If it fits in a breath
Donde termina su espalda
Where your back ends
Es donde empieza el desvelo
It's where the wakefulness begins
Mínima tela en su falda
Minimal fabric on her skirt
La noche duerme en su pelo
The night sleeps in her hair
Cada verso que le escribo
Every verse I write to you
Es cada beso que me debe
It's every kiss he owes me
Cada sorbo de un suspiro
Every sip of a sigh
Y si me acerco retrocede
And if I get closer, it goes backwards
Ella sabe que la miro
She knows I look at her
Y yo sabiendo que ella sabe
And me knowing that she knows
Meto el amor en un suspiro
I put love in a breath
Si es que en un suspiro cabe
If it fits in a breath
Tanto pecado pendiente
So much pending sin
En su cintura solar
In your solar waist
Mil años luz a su vientre
A thousand light years to her belly
Es mi distancia polar
It's my polar distance
Ella sabe que la miro
She knows I look at her
Y yo sabiendo que ella sabe
And me knowing that she knows
Meto el amor en un suspiro
I put love in a breath
Si es que en un suspiro cabe
If it fits in a breath
