Yo era el portero del edificio 32
I was the doorman of building 32
Tú eras la burguesa, la princesa del penthouse
You were the bourgeois, the penthouse princess
Asi lo quiso Dios
God wanted it that way
Te saludaba con mi cara de asustado
I greeted you with my scared face
Mientras le pedia a Dios que se tapara el excusado
As I asked God to cover the toilet
Para irte a echar un vistazo
To go take a look
O que te mandara al supermercado
Or send you to the supermarket
Para ayudarte a cargar lo del mandado
To help you carry the errand
Fui testigo mudo de tus fiestas y aventuras
I was a silent witness to your parties and adventures
Te conoci dos doctores, un maestro y hasta un cura
I met you two doctors, a teacher and even a priest
Y un dia viendo en la rendija
And one day looking in the slit
Vi como te merendabas al del 6
I saw how you ate the 6
Mientras su mujer mojaba el negligee
While his wife wet her negligee
Estas acabando con el edificio
You're destroying the building
Chica del penthouse
Penthouse Girl
Y con toda la ciudad
And with the whole city
Estas acabando con el edificio
You're destroying the building
Chica del penthouse
Penthouse Girl
¿y conmigo por que no?
And with me why not?
Era de todos los dias esperar que den las 9
It was everyday to wait for 9 o'clock
Ir al patio de atras a esperar en la ventana
Go to the backyard to wait at the window
Tu baño de las mañanas
Your morning bath
Que triste era ver aquella sombra al desnudarse
How sad it was to see that shadow when undressing
A 12 pisos de mis mejores ganas de tocarte
12 floors from my best desire to touch you
Pero que iba yo a hacer
But what was I going to do
Le daba chance a la imaginacion
It gave the imagination a chance
Mientras ya me retumbaba el corazon
While my heart was already rumbling
Estas acabando con el edificio
You're destroying the building
Chica del penthouse
Penthouse Girl
Y con toda la ciudad
And with the whole city
Estas acabando con el edificio
You're destroying the building
Chica del penthouse

Me he enamorado de usted
I have fallen in love with you
Digame ahora que hay que hacer
Tell me now what to do
Fumo como un loco y dejado de comer
I smoke like crazy and stop eating
Le dije a quemarropa
I said point blank
Me dio una cachetada que me disloco el amor
He gave me a slap that dislocated my love
Eso me pasa por querer darle a la vida el sabor
That happens to me for wanting to give life the flavor
De una mezcla de clases
Of a mix of classes
Y aunque se que jamas podre besarla
And although I know that I can never kiss her
No hay problema porque asi lo quiso Dios
