No sabes cuánto aprecio lo que hiciste
You don't know how much I appreciate what you did
Lo mucho que agradezco la lección
How grateful I am for the lesson
Porque rompiéndome, me construiste
Because by breaking me, you rebuilt me
Me hiciste indestructible el corazón
You made my heart indestructible
Se dice que se aprende por las malas
They say you learn the hard way
Pero esta alumna ya te superó
But this student has already surpassed you
Prepárate que están lloviendo balas
Get ready, bullets are raining down
Y hoy el tiro al blanco lo soy yo
And today, I'm the target
Que no te asuste mi maldad
Don't be scared of my wickedness
Si mi maestro fuiste tú
If you were my teacher
Si me volviste oscuridad
If you brought me darkness again
Cada centímetro de luz
Every inch of light
Ya no hay manera de escapar
There’s no way to escape now
Se te fue el último autobús
The last bus has already left you behind
Que nuestro amor ha muerto ya
That our love is dead already
Tú lo mataste y construiste su ataúd
You killed it and built its coffin
No vengo aquí a exigir lo que me debes
I'm not here to demand what you owe me
Ya veo que la vida te cobró
I can see that life has charged you
Aún no pagas ni los intereses
You haven't even paid the interest yet
Y ya te estás quebrando de dolor
And you’re already breaking down from pain
Que no te asuste mi maldad
Don't let my wickedness scare you
Si mi maestro fuiste tú
If you were my teacher
Si me volviste oscuridad
If you turned me into darkness
Cada centímetro de luz
Every inch of light
Ya no hay manera de escapar
There's no way to escape now
Se te fue el último autobús
You missed the last bus
Que nuestro amor ha muerto ya
Our love is already dead
Tú lo mataste y construiste su ataúd
You killed it and built its coffin
Que no te asuste mi maldad
Don't let my wickedness scare you
Si mi maestro fuiste tú
If you were my teacher
Si me volviste oscuridad
If you turned me into darkness
Cada centímetro de luz
Every inch of light
Ya no hay manera de escapar
There's no way to escape now
Se te fue el último autobús
The last bus left you behind
Que nuestro amor ha muerto ya
Our love has already died
Tú lo mataste y construiste su ataúd
You killed it and built its coffin
Su ataúd
Its coffin
