Tú me pides que te deje ahora, ahora
You ask me to leave you now, now
Ahora, cuando más te necesito
Now, when I need you the most
Tú me dices que este amor se fue al olvido, ahora
You tell me this love has faded into oblivion, now
Ahora, cuando yo ya no te olvido
Now, when I can no longer forget you
Tú me pides que seamos solo amigos, amigos
You ask me to just be friends, friends
Y a mí no me interesa ser tu amigo
And I’m not interested in being your friend
Tú me dices que este amor ha sido en vano
You say this love has been in vain
¡Qué malo que dices eso!
How awful that you say that!
Pero qué bueno que se acabó
But how good that it’s over
(Mala gente) te burlaste de mis sentimientos y ahora te lamentas
(Bad person) you mocked my feelings and now you regret it
(Mala gente) vas a pagarla caro porque a mí tú ya no me interesas
(Bad person) you’ll pay dearly because I'm no longer interested in you
(Mala gente) porque tú eres una mentirosa y una
(Bad person) because you are a liar and a
(Mala gente) y en el infierno enterita, enterita te vas a quemar
(Bad person) and in hell completely, completely you will burn
Traicionera, mentirosa, mala gente
Traitor, liar, bad person
Tú me pides que regrese ahora, ahora
You ask me to return now, now
Y ahora es a mí es a quien no le importa
And now it's me who doesn't care
Tú me pides que seamos más que amigos, amigos
You ask me to be more than friends, friends
Y amigos para qué, si no hay cariño
And friends for what, if there’s no affection?
Hoy por fin me he dado cuenta de tu engaño
Today I finally realized your deception
De tu mala calaña
Of your bad character
Y tanto mal que me hiciste tú (¡ah!)
And all the harm you did to me (ah!)
(Mala gente) te burlaste de mis sentimientos y ahora te lamentas
(Bad person) you mocked my feelings and now you regret it
(Mala gente) vas a pagarla caro porque a mí tú ya no me interesas
(Bad person) you’ll pay dearly because I'm no longer interested in you
(Mala gente) porque tú eres una mentirosa y una
(Bad person) because you are a liar and a
(Mala gente) y en el infierno enterita, enterita te vas a quemar
(Bad person) and in hell completely, completely you will burn

(Bad person) you mocked my feelings and now you regret it
(Mala gente) vas a pagarla caro porque a mí tú ya no me interesas
(Bad person) you’ll pay dearly because I'm no longer interested in you
(Mala gente) porque tú eres una mentirosa y una
(Bad person) because you are a liar and a
(Mala gente) y en el infierno enterita, enterita te vas a quemar
(Bad person) and in hell completely, completely you will burn
(Mala gente) el día en que tú naciste, cariño
(Bad person) the day you were born, darling
(Mala gente) ese día nacieron todas mis penas
(Bad person) that day all my sorrows were born
(Mala gente) ¡oiga!
(Bad person) hey!
(Mala gente) y en el infierno enterita, enterita te vas a quemar
(Bad person) and in hell completely, completely you will burn
