Lyrics

Estamos juntos sin obligar,
Se puede siempre separar;
Y si quedaremos juntos,
Quedaremos no mas por fun

Es libertad nuestro amor
No es carcel con mirador;
Y si quedaremos juntos,
Quedaremos no mas por fun

Fun es vacilada,
No significa nada;
Estamos juntos no mas por fun yeah yeah

Fun, sin obligar, no voy a planificar
Estamos juntos no mas por fun

Esa mujer tiene algo que quiero,
Por lo tanto ella no es carcelero;
Fun sin documento,
Como es el viento,
Estamos juntos no mas por fun,
Y sin papeles y sin deber
Como es el amanecer
Estamos juntos no mas por fun

English Translation

We got together just for fun,
With no obligation save maybe one;
If we were gonna stay together
We'd stay together just for fun

I just wanted to be with her,
Never wanted to be a warden nor a prisoner;
And if we're gonna stay together,
We'll stay together just for fun
Must be that she had something I needed
And whatever it was,
I wanted it repeated;
'Cause it was fun, fun, a blue jean
jacket in the sun,
We got together just for fun yeah, yeah
Fun, more like a rocket trip,
Not much like a relationship;
We got together just for fun,
We got together just for fun
