Original Lyrics
Translation in Spanish

verse

Arabella′s got some interstellar gator skin boots
Arabella tiene unas botas de piel de cocodrilo interestelares.
And a helter-skelter 'round her little finger, and I ride it endlessly
Y en su meñique un tobogán, y me lanzo de él infinitamente
She′s got a Barbarella silver swimsuit
Ella tiene un traje de baño plateado Barbarella
And when she needs to shelter from reality, she takes a dip in my daydreams
Y cuando necesita un refugio de la realidad se sumerge en mis fantasías

chorus

My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
Mis días terminan mejor cuando la puesta de sol se esconde detrás
That little lady sittin' on the passenger side
Esa pequeña dama sentada en el lado del pasajero
It's much less picturesque without her catchin′ the light
Es mucho menos pintoresco sin ella atrapando la luz
The horizon tries, but it′s just not as kind on the eyes
El horizonte lo intenta, pero no es tan cautivador para la vista
As Arabella, oh
Como Arabella, oh
As Arabella
Como Arabella

hook

Just might've tapped into your mind and soul
Bien podría haber accedido a tu mente y alma
You can′t be sure
No puedes estar seguro

verse

Arabella's got a ′70s head
Arabella tiene una mente de los 70's
But she's a modern lover, it′s an exploration she's made of outer space
Pero ella es una amante moderna, es una exploración que ha hecho del espacio exterior.
And her lips are like the galaxy's edge
Y sus labios son como el borde de la galaxia
And her kiss the colour of a constellation fallin′ into place
Y sus besos son del color de una constelación cayendo en su lugar

chorus

My days end best when the sunset gets itself behind
Mis días terminan mejor cuando la puesta de sol se esconde detrás
That little lady sittin′ on the passenger side
Esa pequeña dama sentada en el lado del pasajero
It's much less picturesque without her catchin′ the light
Es mucho menos pintoresco sin ella atrapando la luz
The horizon tries, but it's just not as kind on the eyes
El horizonte lo intenta, pero no es tan cautivador para la vista
As Arabella, oh
Como Arabella, oh
As Arabella
Como Arabella

hook

Just might′ve tapped into your mind and soul
Bien podría haber accedido a tu mente y alma
You can't be sure
No puedes estar seguro

bridge

(That′s magic) in a cheetah print coat
Es magia en un abrigo con estampado de leopardo
(Just a slip) underneath it, I hope
Solo un poco bajo eso, espero
(Askin' if) I can have one of those
(Me pregunto si) puedo tener uno de esos
(Organic) cigarettes that she smokes
Cigarrillos orgánicos que ella fuma
(Wraps her lips) 'round a Mexican Coke
(Frota sus labios) alrededor de una Coca-Cola mexicana
(Makes you wish) that you were the bottle
Te hace desear que fueras la botella
(Takes a sip) of your soul, and it sounds like
Toma un sorbo de tu alma y suena como ...

outro

Just might′ve tapped into your mind and soul
Bien podría haber accedido a tu mente y alma
You can′t be sure
No puedes estar seguro
