Tengo en una libreta tantas canciones
Tiene tu nombre y tengo razones
Para buscarte y volverte a hablar
Dice en esa libreta sin más razones
La hora y la fecha y dos corazones
Y dice calle San Sebastián
In a booklet I have so many songs
It has your name and I have reasons
To find you and talk to you again
It says in this booklet without further reasons
The time and date and two hearts
And it says San Sebastian street
Y si tengo que escoger
Me quedo, me quedo contigo
Y si yo vuelvo a San Juan
Yo bailo, yo bailo contigo
And I have to choose
I stay, I stay with you
And if I go back to San Juan
I dance, I dance with you
Y si te tengo que olvidar
Tú sabes que no va a pasar
Y si te vuelvo a ver
Me quedo, me quedo, me quedo, me quedo, me quedo contigo
And if I had to forget you
You know that’s not going to happen
And if I see you again
I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay with you
Contigo desde Alaska a Buenos Aires
Contigo desde Londres hasta Nueva York
“Maldito castigo” le grito al aire
Si yo sé que contigo siempre estoy mejor
With you from Alaska to Buenos Aires
With you from London to New York
“Damn punishment” I shout at the sky
I know with you I’m always better
Tengo en mi libreta esa canción boricua
Esa que escribí pensando en tu boquita
Y yo quiero bailarla bien apretaíta’
Carita con carita, cosita rica
I have in my booklet this Puerto Rican song
That I wrote thinking of your mouth
And I want to dance it tightly
Face to face, rich thing
Tengo en mi libreta esa canción bonita
La que siempre, siempre fue tu favorita
La que siempre, siempre mueve tu boquita
I have in my booklet this beautiful song
Which was always, always your favourite
Which always, always moved your mouth
Y si tengo que escoger
Me quedo, me quedo contigo
Y si yo vuelvo a San Juan
Yo bailo, yo bailo contigo
And I have to choose
I stay, I stay with you
And if I go back to San Juan
I dance, I dance with you
Y si te tengo que olvidar
Tú sabes que no va a pasar
Y si te vuelvo a ver
Me quedo, me quedo, me quedo, me quedo, me quedo contigo
And if I had to forget you
You know that’s not going to happen
And if I see you again
I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay with you
Guardo en una libreta de direcciones
Tu nombre escrito y unas canciones
Y siento ganas de irte a buscar, oh-oh
Dice en esa libreta sin más razones
La hora y la fecha y dos corazones
Y dice calle San Sebastián
I save in a booklet of directions
Your name written and some songs
And I feel like going to search for you, oh-oh
The time and the date and two hearts
And it says San Sebastian street
Y si tengo que escoger
Me quedo, me quedo contigo
Y si yo vuelvo a San Juan
Yo bailo, yo bailo contigo
And I have to choose
I stay, I stay with you
And if I go back to San Juan
I dance, I dance with you
Y si te tengo que olvidar
Tú sabes que no va a pasar
Y si te vuelvo a ver
Me quedo, me quedo, me quedo, me quedo, me quedo contigo
And if I had to forget you
You know that’s not going to happen
And if I see you again
I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay with you
Me quedo, me quedo, me quedo contigo
I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay with you
Tengo en mi libreta esa canción boricua
Esa que escribí pensando en tu boquita
Y yo quiero bailarla bien apretaíta’
Me quedo, me quedo, me quedo contigo
I have in my booklet this Puerto Rican song
That I wrote thinking of your mouth
And I want to dance it tightly
Face to face, rich thing
Tengo en mi libreta esa canción bonita
La que siempre, siempre fue tu favorita
La que siempre, siempre mueve tu boquita
Me quedo, me quedo, me quedo contigo
I have in my booklet this beautiful song
Which was always, always your favourite
Which always, always moved your mouth
I’ll stay, I’ll stay, I’ll stay with you
