Singer: Marco Antonio Solís
Un diablillo anda por ahí
Haciendo sus travesuras
Que conduce sin pensar
Al borde de la locura
A little devil is out there
Playing his tricks
Leading thoughtlessly
To the edge of madness
El se sabe introducir
Entre tus debilidades
Y se suele confundir
Hasta entre tus amistades
He knows how to slip in
Among your weaknesses
And often disguises himself
Even among your friends
Andate con precaución
Tiene sus habilidades
Se te mete al corazón
Y te llena de sus males
Go carefully
He has his tricks
He slips into your heart
And fills it with his troubles
El no sabe de dormir
Y te asecha en todas partes
Pues no hay un solo lugar
Donde no pueda encontrarte
He doesn’t know rest
And stalks you everywhere
For there isn’t a place
Where he can’t find you there
El que dice que usa cuernos
Es que no tiene ni idea
Pues no vive en el infierno
Y no es una bestia fea
Anyone who says he wears horns
Has no idea at all
For he doesn’t live in hell
And isn’t some ugly beast
Tan irresistible es
El deseo se hace un tormento
Pues su nombre es tentación
Su apellido sufrimiento
He is so irresistible
Desire becomes a torment
For his name is Temptation
And his last name is Suffering
Andate con precaución
Tiene sus habilidades
Se te mete al corazón
Y te llena de sus males
Go carefully
He has his tricks
He slips into your heart
And fills it with his troubles
El no sabe de dormir
Y te asecha en todas partes
Pues no hay un solo lugar
Donde no pueda encontrarte
He doesn’t know rest
And stalk you everywhere
For there isn’t a place
Where he can’t find you there
El que dice que usa cuernos
Es que no tiene ni idea
Pues no vive en el infierno
Y no es una bestia fea
Anyone who says he wears horns
Has no idea at all
For he doesn’t live in hell
And isn’t some ugly beast
Tan irresistible es
El deseo se hace un tormento
Pues su nombre es tentación
Su apellido sufrimiento
He is so irresistible
Desire becomes a torment
For his name is Tempt
