Bamboleo *
(The Gipsy Kings)

Cuando el amor llega así de esa manera
Uno no tiene la culpa.
Caballo de la sabana
Porque está viejo y cansado,
Por eso yo te pregunto otra vez.

Cuando el amor llega así de esa manera
Uno no se da ni cuenta.
Amor de compra y venta,
Amor que es el pasado.
Benberen benberen ben benberen.

Bamboleo, bambolea.
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así.
Bamboleo, bambolea.
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así.

No te importa mi dolor.
Te fuiste un día y me dejaste abandonada.
Y fué la causa que mi corazón fallara,
No es lo mismo que ayer, no es lo mismo que ayer.
Ese amor que yo te dí

Por nadie más podría haberlo sentido,
Y si regresas porque estás arrepentido,
Olvídalo ya, olvídalo ya.

Bamboleo, bambolea.
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así.
Bamboleo, bambolea.
Porque mi vida yo la prefiero vivir así.
Bamboleo, bambolea.
Es que mi vida yo la prefiero vivir sin tí,
vivir sin tí.
Bamboleo, bambolea.

Mi corazón se hizo trizas
cuando me dejaste con tu sonrisa.
Bamboleo, bambolea.
Es que mi vida yo la prefiero vivir sin tí.

Bamboleo, bambolea.
Pero creo que cuando te fuiste,
eso es lo mejor que hiciste.
Bamboleo, bambolea.

Amor que es de contrabando,
empieza y termina ¿cuándo?
Bamboleo, bambolea.
Te hice pasar buenos ratos y sólo
recibí maltratos de tí.

Bamboleo, bambolea.
Voy a dejar el mundo que siga,
y ya veré que hago con mi vida.
Vivir sin tí.
 

Bamboleo *
(The Gipsy Kings)

When love arrives like this, in this way
you are not to blame
Savannah horse
Because he's old and tired
That's why I ask you again

When love arrives like this, in this way
you don't even realise
Love for buying and selling
Love which is the past
Benberen benberen ben benberen.

Bamboleo, bambolea.
Because I prefer to live my life this way
Bamboleo, bambolea.
Because I prefer to live my life this way

You don't care about my pain
You left one day and you abandoned me
And that made my heart fail
It's not the same as yesterday, it's not the same as yesterday
That love I gave to you

I couldn't have felt that for anyone else
And if you come back because you have regrets
Forget it, forget it

Bamboleo, bambolea.
Because I prefer to live my life this way
Bamboleo, bambolea.
Because I prefer to live my life this way
Bamboleo, bambolea.
It's just that I prefer to live my life without you
Living without you
Bamboleo, bambolea.

My heart was shattered
When you left me with your smile
Bamboleo, bambolea.
It's just that I prefer to live my life without you

Bamboleo, bambolea.
But I think that when you left
That's the best thing you did
Bamboleo, bambolea.

Smuggled love
Starts and ends... when?
Bamboleo, bambolea.
You had a good time with me and I only
Got ill-treatment from you

Bamboleo, bambolea.
I'm going to let the world continue
And I'll see what I'm going to do with my life
Living without you
