Calypso [English translation]

He told me looks is what it counts

And of course I haven't realized then

That he was ogling far away from my shoulder

This girl, who had made him burning on fire

And I was lacking compared to her bronzed skin

For calypso

Bésame mucho (Kiss me whole)

Dizziness from hot countries

He always said: "let's go"

I'm not in the mood for this

Calypso

He was all the time over cloud 9

Dancing there pretty soon

Calypso, tico tico tico

Calypso

It's true I'm not the spangle type

Nor death who watch over us

Behind those big hats, Mexican sombreros

And I find them too sugary these syrups

Even if the sun here doesn't shine as much

For calypso

Bésame mucho (Kiss me a lot)

Dizziness from hot countries

He always said: "let's go"

I'm not in the mood for this

Calypso

Ritmo latino

Dancing there pretty soon

Calypso, tico tico tico

Calypso

Everyone with their chosen heroes

Him Dario Moreno

Me Police or Toto {calypso, a retro-story)

Me Elton or Bowie

And him Luis Mariano {calypso, past love}

Me Janis or Carly

And him Gloria Lasso {calypso}

Calypso

He isn't the man that I need

Everyone with their chosen heroes

Me Police or Toto

Him Dario Moreno {calypso, amor latino}

Adiós Paco (Bye)

Hasta luego (See you soon)
