The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Besos Como Balas" by Luis Eduardo Aute.

Lyrics

A riesgo de que digan que estoy loco
Por no buscar el oro en lo que toco
No pienso rebelarme contra mi enajenación
Cansado de vivir sin salvavidas
Sé bien que no es la mano del Rey Midas
La que vendrá a salvar mi naufragado corazón
Y no me romperán los huesos ni quemarán mis alas
Les basta y sobra con dar besos
Besos como balas…
Me advierten «mira, no juegues con fuego
Respeta al menos las reglas del juego
O hazte a la idea de tener a mano un extintor»
Declaro que me bato en retirada
No sé jugar con las cartas marcadas
Será que nunca tuve vocación de ganador
Me recomiendan que no escupa al cielo
Si mi propósito es pisar el suelo
Y no cruzar una tormenta en vuelo sin motor
Aunque me expulsen de sus paraísos
No pienso doblegarme a sus avisos
Y menos si quien viene a darme aviso es un traidor

Lyrics translation

At the risk of them saying I'm crazy
For not looking for gold in what I touch
I will not rebel against my alienation
Tired of living without lifesaving
I know it's not the Hand of King Midas.
The one who will come to save my shipwrecked heart
And they won't break my bones or burn my wings
They have enough and enough to give kisses
Kisses like bullets…
They warn me "look, don't play with fire
Respect at least the rules of the game
Or get to the idea of having a fire extinguisher on hand»
I declare that I am retreating
I don't know how to play with marked cards
Maybe I never had a winning vocation
I'm advised not to spit in the sky
If my purpose is to step on the ground
And not to cross a storm in flight without engine
Even though they cast me out of their havens
I'm not going to bow to your warnings.
And less if the one who comes to warn me is a traitor
