Clandestino	Illegal Alien
Solo voy con mi pena, sola va mi condena, Correr es mi destino, para burlar la ley. Perdido en el corazón, de la grande Babylon Me dicen el clandestino, por no llevar papel. Pa una ciudad del norte, yo me fui a trabajar Mi vida la dejé, entre Ceuta y Gibraltar. Soy una raya en el mar, fantasma en la ciudad Mi vida va prohibida, dice la autoridad. Solo voy con mi pena, sola va mi condena Correr es mi destino, por no llevar papel. Perdido en el corazón de la grande Babylon Me dicen el clandestino, yo soy el quiebra ley. Mano Negra clandestina, Peruano clandestino Africano clandestino Marijuana ilegal Solo voy con mi pena, sola va mi condena Correr es mi destino, para burlar la ley. Perdido en el corazón de la grande Babylon Me dicen el clandestino, por no llevar papel	Alone I go with my sorrow, alone goes my sentence Running is my destiny, in order to break the law. Lost in the heart of the great Babylone They call me the "illegal" because I don't have papers In a northern city, I went to work My life, I left it between Ceuta and Gibraltar I'm just a fish in the sea, a ghost in the city. My life is banned, the authorities say Alone I go with my sorrow, alone goes my sentence Running is my destiny because I don't have papers Lost in the heart of the great Babylone The call me the "illegal", I'm the one who breaks the law Black hand, illegal Peruvian, illegal African, illegal Marijuana, illegal Alone I go with my sorrow, alone goes my sentence Running is my destiny, in order to break the law. Lost in the heart of the great Babylone They call me the "illegal", beacause I don't have papers

Clandestino

Illegal Alien

Solo voy con mi pena, sola va mi condena,
Correr es mi destino, para burlar la ley.
Perdido en el corazón, de la grande Babylon
Me dicen el clandestino, por no llevar papel.

Pa una ciudad del norte, yo me fui a trabajar
Mi vida la dejé, entre Ceuta y Gibraltar.
Soy una raya en el mar, fantasma en la ciudad
Mi vida va prohibida, dice la autoridad.

Solo voy con mi pena, sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino, por no llevar papel.
Perdido en el corazón de la grande Babylon
Me dicen el clandestino, yo soy el quiebra ley.

Mano Negra clandestina,
Peruano clandestino
Africano clandestino
Marijuana ilegal

Solo voy con mi pena, sola va mi condena
Correr es mi destino, para burlar la ley.
Perdido en el corazón de la grande Babylon
Me dicen el clandestino, por no llevar papel

Alone I go with my sorrow, alone goes my sentence
Running is my destiny, in order to break the law.
Lost in the heart of the great Babylone
They call me the "illegal" because I don't have papers

In a northern city, I went to work
My life, I left it between Ceuta and Gibraltar
I'm just a fish in the sea, a ghost in the city.
My life is banned, the authorities say

Alone I go with my sorrow, alone goes my sentence
Running is my destiny because I don't have papers
Lost in the heart of the great Babylone
The call me the "illegal", I'm the one who breaks the law

Black hand, illegal
Peruvian, illegal
African, illegal
Marijuana, illegal

Alone I go with my sorrow, alone goes my sentence
Running is my destiny, in order to break the law.
Lost in the heart of the great Babylone
They call me the "illegal", beacause I don't have papers

Obsesion

Obsession

ring hello solo escucha

Son las cinco de la mañana
y yo no he dormido nada
pensando en tu belleza
en loco voy a parar.
el insomnio es mi castigo
tu amor sera mi alivio
y hasta que no seas mia
no vivire en paz
Hoy conoci tu novio
pequeño y no buen mozo
y se que el no te quiere
por su forma de hablar.
Ademas tu no lo amas
porque el no da la talla
no sabe complacerte
como lo haria yo
pero tendre paciencia
porque el no es competencia
por eso no hay motivos
para yo irrespetarlo

No, no es amor,
lo que tu sientes,
se llama obsesion,
una ilusion en tu pensamiento,
que te hace hacer cosas,
asi funciona el corazon.

Bien vestido alla en mi lexus,
pase por tu colegio,
me informan que te fuistes,
como loco te fui a alcansar,
te busque y no te encontraba,
y eso me procupaba
para calmar mi ansia
yo te queria llamar,
pero no tenia tu numero,
y tu amiga ya me lo nego,
ser bonito mucho me ayudo,
eso me trajo la solucion,
yo se que le gustaba,
y que le di una mirada,
con par de palabritas
tu numero me dio,
del celular llamaba,
y tu no contestabas,
luego te puse un beeper
y no habia conexion,
mi unica esperanza,
es que oigas mis palabras
"no puedo, tengo novio
no me enganes por favor"

No, no es amor, (escuchame por favor)
lo que tu sientes,(que es?)
se llama obsesion,
una ilusion (estoy perdiendo el control)
en tu pensamiento,
que te hace hacer cosas,
asi funciona el corazon.

Hice cita ''pal'' psiquiatra
a ver si me ayudaba,
pues ya no tengo amigos
por solo hablar de ti,
lo que quiero es hablarte
para intentar besarte
sera posible que
por una obsesion uno pueda morir.
Y quisas pienses que soy tonto
pribon y tambien loco,
pero es que en el amor
soy muy original,
me enamoro como otros
conquisto a mi modo
amar es mi talento
te voy a enamorar,
disculpa si te ofendo
pero es que soy honesto
con lujo de detalles
escucha mi version
pura crema e chocolate,
huntarte y devorate,
llevarte a otro mundo
en tu mente corazon.
Ven vive aventura
hagamos mil locuras
voy a hacerte caricias
que no se han inventado.

No es amor, no es amor,
es una obsesion

ring hello just listen

It is five in the morning
and I haven't slept at all
thinking about your beauty
I'm going to go crazy
insomnia is my punishment
your love will be my relief
And until you're mine
I won't live in peace
Now I know your boyfriend
short and not that young
and I know he doesn't love you
from the way he talks
on top of this you don't love him
he is not up to the task
he doesn't know how to please you
the way I would have
but I will be patient
because he is no challenge
this is why there is no reason
for me to disrespect him

No, it's not love
that you feel
it is called obsession
an illusion in your mind
that makes you do things
This is how the heart works

dressed up over there in my Lexus
I dropped by your school ,
they informed me that you'd left
like a madman I went looking for you
I looked but could not find you
and it got me worried
to soothe my anxiety
I wanted to call you
but I didn't have your number
and your girlfriend refused to give it to me
Being good-looking surely helped me
It brought me the solution
I know that she liked me
I gave her a look
With a few sweet words
Your number she gave me
Of your cell phone I called
and you didn't answer
then I tried to beep you
but there was no network
my only hope
is for you to hear my words
"I can't, I have a boyfriend
Don't deceive me, please

No, this is not love (listen to me please)
that you feel (what is it?)
it's called obsession
an illusion (I'm losing control)
in your thought
that makes you do things
This is how the heart works

I had an appointment with my "pal" the psychiatrist
to see if he could help me
plus, I don't have friends anymore
to just talk about you
what I want is to talk to you
to try to kiss you
It would be possible that
for an obsession, someone could die
and maybe you think I'm stupid
and also crazy
but it's just that in matters of love
I'm very original
I fall in love like everyone else
conquered by my own style
loving is my talent
I'm going to love you
Pardon me if I'm offending you
but it's just that I am honest
with abundance of details
listen to my version
pure cream and chocolate
being with you and devouring you
taking you to another world
In your mind sweetheart
Come live an adventure
Let's do a thousand crazy things
I will caress you .
That have not been invented yet

This is not love, this is not love
It's an obsession
