La bilirrubina [English translation]

Listen, I got a fever the other day,

because of your love, woman

so I ended up in hospital

and I did not have bed insurance

And I got injected multicolor serum

and they took my radiography

and I was diagnosed with love disease when they saw my hearbeat speed.

They even treated my soul

with X rays and surgery

but science does not work

only your kisses (work), my dear

So woman, see, look for a catheter

and inject me your love as (if it were) insuline

and give me vitamines of affection

cos my bilirubin levels have rocketed

Bilirubin rockets inside me

when I look at you and you don't look at me

and this can't be cured with aspirine, nor serum, nor peniciline

it's a love that contaminates, makes my bilirubin rocket.

So woman, see, look for a catheter

and inject me your love as (if it were) insuline

my face has dressed up in yellow

and my bilirubin levels have rocketed.
