Tengo fuego en la cabeza<\/em> (I have fire in my head)
\nsigo dando vueltas como un trompo <\/em>(I keep spinning like a top)
\npara quitarme esta pena<\/em> (to remove this pain)
\nquiero el consuelo de los locos <\/em> (I want the crazy men’s consolation)
\nY ya me est\u00e1 pegando la ansiedad <\/em>(Anxiety is starting to get me)
\nMe voy a seguir metiendo quitapenas para olvidar <\/em>(I’ll keep on taking quitapenas to forget)
\nPor esa boca, por esos ojos<\/em> (Because of that mouth, because of those eyes)
\nestoy perdido, no ves… estoy todo roto…<\/em> (I’m lost, can’t you see? I’m all broken…)
\nSon siete vidas las que ten\u00eda<\/em> (I had seven lives)
\ny me las quitaste en un solo d\u00eda de amor<\/em> (And you took them from me in only one day of loving)<\/p>\n

Quiero arrancarme este dolor<\/em> (I want to get rid of this pain)
\nNecesito un quitapenas<\/em> (I need a quitapenas)
\nPara sacarme esta condena<\/em> (To get rid of this sentence)
\n\u00bfNo ves q’estoy todo roto<\/em> (Can’t you see I’m all broken)
\nesperando que me vengas a arreglar?<\/em> (waiting for you to fix me?)<\/p>\n

Ah\u00ed se acerca mi alma en pena<\/em> (There comes my ailing soul)
\ncantando a los corazones rotos<\/em> (singing to the broken hearts)
\nSoy el muerto y mi condena<\/em> (I’m the dead one and my sentence)
\nbailando la rumba de los locos <\/em>(dancing the crazy men’s rumba)
\nY a la noche salgo a brindar de bar en bar<\/em> (And at night I go out to drink from bar to bar)
\nbebiendo quitapenas para olvidar<\/em> (drinking quitapenas to forget)<\/p>\n

Por esa boca, por esos ojos…<\/em><\/p>\n
