Translation:

¡Ja! Vas, leoncita (ja, ja, ja, ja)
¡Guaar! (Arre)

Ha! Go, lil lioness (ha ha ha ha)
Rawr! (Yeah)

Te dejo aquí en un rinconcito mi cepillo.
Entre tus cosas mi vestido amarillo,
Un par de tenis para caminar juntitos, por si se ofrece.
(Dale, Glo)

I leave you here in a little corner, my toothbrush.
Between your things, my yellow dress,
A pair of tennis shoes to walk together, in case one offers.
(Go, Glo)

Puede que exista un lugarcito ahí en tu casa
Para mis letras, mi guitarra y mi pijama.
Por si dormimos esta noche ahí en tu cama
Por si se ofrece. (¡Ah!)

For my letters, my guitar, and my pajama.
In case we sleep tonight in your bed,
In case one offers. (Ah!)
