Elvis Presley sings “Stuck on you” = Enamorado de ti - This is pure Rock&Roll

Lyrics                                                  Translated by alan.m

You can shake an                                 Puedes tirar

apple off an apple tree                        una manzana de un manzanero
shake-a, shake- suger,                          temblar. temblar, cariño
But you'll never shake me                   Pero nunca me harás temblar a mi
uh-uh-uh                                                uh-uh-uh
no-sir-ee, uh, uh                                    ni señor
I'm gonna stick like glue,                     Voy  a estar pegado como pegamento
stick because I'm                                   pegarme porque estoy
stuck on you                                          pegado (enamorado) de ti
I´m gonna run my fingers                    Voy a pasar mis dedos

through your long black hair                por tu pelo negro y largo
Squeeze you tighter                              Apretarte mas fuerte

than a grizzly bear                                 que un oso pardo
uh-uh-uh,                                                uh-uh-uh
yes-sir-ee, uh, uh                                   Si señor
I´m gonna stick like glue                       Voy a estar pegado como pegamento
Stick, because I'm                                   Pegado, porque estoy
stuck on you                                            pegado a ti (enamorado)
Hide in the kitchen,                                Esconderte en la cocina

Hide in the hall                                        Esconderte en vestíbulo
ain't gonna do you no good at all        no te va a servir en absoluto
Cause once I catch ya                             Porque una vez que te coja

and the kissin' starts                               y empiezan los besos
a team of wild horses                              una manada de caballos salvajes

couldn't tear us apart                             no nos podría separar
Try to take a tiger                                    Intentar de quitarle un tigre

from his daddy's side                              de su padre
That's how love is                                    Así  como el amor

gonna keep us tied                                  nos mantendrá unidos
uh-uh-uh                                                   uh-uh-uh
yes-sir-ee, uh,uh
