Adan Y Eva Lyrics in English by Paulo Londra
Pecado translates to "sin". This word is the central theme of the song, which gets its title from the biblical story of Adam and Eve.
Paulo Londra uses it to propose a secret, forbidden romance, singing, "Como Adán y Eva, tengamos nuestro pecado" (Like Adam and Eve, let's have our sin). It's a powerful and evocative way to describe a love that feels both wonderfully tempting and a little bit wrong.
Argentine artist Paulo Londra sets up a classic forbidden romance story in "Adan Y Eva", but he tells it with charming, goofy honesty. Instead of acting like a smooth player, he calls himself "solo un cobarde más" (just another coward) who spent ages working up the nerve to cross the street and talk to his crush. She is stuck in a dead-end relationship where the guy ignores her—"él no te saluda ni te dice 'hola'" (he doesn't greet you or say 'hello')—while Paulo watches from the opposite corner, waiting for the right moment to shoot his shot.
Once he finally gets her attention, he lays everything on the table with the bold chorus: "Como Adán y Eva, tengamos nuestro pecado" (Like Adam and Eve, let's have our sin). He wants them to be like two thieves running away together with a shared secret ("como dos ladrones, un secreto bien guardado"). Even in the middle of this high-stakes romantic fantasy, his grounded sense of humor sneaks back in. Right before the final hook, he stops acting slick and admits, "Sé que soy muy molesto pero, quiero decirte que..." (I know I'm very annoying, but I want to tell you that...). That self-aware charm makes the whole forbidden temptation feel sweet rather than scandalous.
