The Little Mamba

La Pequeña Mamba

We grew up together and I lied to youNos criamos juntos y te engañé
And all this time I hid what I feelY todo el tiempo oculté lo que siento

You didn’t do anything to seduceNo hiciste nada por seducir
But, between my desire and my doubts, you unbuttonedPero, entre mi deseo y mis dudas, desabotonaste
Your blouse and I felt your shiverTu blusa y recorrí tu temblor

Sweetly, and as best I could, I didn’t hurt youDulcemente, y como pude, no te lastimé

I met you when you were a kidCuando eras piba te conocí
(Maybe even before that)(Quizá hasta antes de eso)

I wanted to know how far I could goQuise saber hasta dónde llegar
(With tricks of an old dog)(Con trucos de perro viejo)

In those photos, we look so goodEn esas fotos nos vemos tan bien
(No matter how you look at them)(Las mires como las mires)

You were the most precious thing in my worldFuiste lo más valioso en mi mundo

I set out to ruin everythingMe propuse estropearlo todo
That’s what I’m good atA eso me dedico yo

But I couldn’t, babePero no pude, linda
Everything turned out fineTodo se dio bien

The bed always messed up with loveLa cama siempre desecha de amor

Your lips on my boulevardTu boca en mi boulevard

Endless road of rock and rollRuta infinita de rock and roll
Drifting in the flow with youFlotando en la deriva en vos

I wanted to ruin everythingQuise estropearlo todo
That’s what I’m good atA eso me dedico yo

But I couldn’t, babePero no pude, linda
Everything turned out fineTodo se dio bien

Call me just becauseLlamame porque sí
If you don’t need meSi no me necesitás
PleasePor favor
Call me anywayLlamame igual

(That’s for the guitar, right?)(Esa es para la guitarra, ¿no?)
(Yeah, that part was for the guitar)(Sí, esa parte era para la guitarra)
(Yeah, yeah)(Sí, sí)
