no hagan la cama
in spain they don't leave home
no traigen el cafe
at least until they're married
voy a quedarme en cuarto
and then they move down the block
y ver el cambio de la luz
or down the hall
porque no quiero salir de este pais
where their parents can still hear their hacking cough
y nunca quiero decir adios
and insist - NO ARGUING - that they take cough syrup
a la vida que tengo aqui contigo
even though they both know it's only cuz they were out partying til 10 this morning and smoking cigarettes all night long
