Creo que me vas a perder
I think you're going to lose me
Y es que yo ya me di cuenta
And I already realized
Que ya te importo poco pa' seguir contigo ya
That I mean very little to you to keep going on with you now
Tú me das ya muy poquito
You give me very little now
De lo intenso y bonito
Of the intense and beautiful
Como mi vestido negro que ya se desvaneció
Like my black dress that has already faded away
Tan duro como el cobre de tus ojos
As hard as the copper in your eyes
Que me miran con desprecio y con enojo
That look at me with disdain and anger
Toda mi buena energía y mi fe
All my good energy and my faith
Se fue gastando con tu falso amor
Have worn away with your false love
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Y yo que me la creí
And I who believed it all
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Según no te comprende nadie
According to you, no one understands
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Que ya pendeja ya no fui
That already fool, I was no more
Tu falso amor
Your false love
Este amor lo rechazaste
You rejected this love
Y yo que te lo daba todo
And I who gave you everything
¿De qué sirve todo lo que me escribiste?
What's the use of everything you wrote to me?
Tantas veces vi mi nombre
So many times I saw my name
La poesía, los "Te amo"
The poetry, the 'I love you's
Corazones fueron miles
Hearts were thousands
Demasiado para ti
Too much for you
Este amor que duró tan poco (Tan poco)
This love that lasted so little (So little)
Y lo que fuiste para mí que fue un segundo
And what you were to me was just a second
Y en mi cama ni duraste para nada
And in my bed, you didn't last at all
Con dignidad lo sobreviví
With dignity, I survived it
¡Lástima que te sacó lo cobarde!
What a shame that cowardice took you away!
Se fue gastando el tiempo con tus quejas y tus madres
Time wasted away with your complaints and your nonsense
Toda la buena energía y mi fe
All the good energy and my faith
Se fue gastando con tu falso amor
Faded away with your false love
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Y yo que me la creí
And I, who believed in it
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Que ya pendeja ya no fui
That I was already foolish, no more
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Según que no te entiende nadie
According to you, nobody understands you
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Según la víctima eres tú
According to the victim, it's you
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Pobre de ti, ya nunca más
Poor thing, never again
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Y que te cuide tu mamá
And may your mom take care of you
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Según que tú eres muy frágil
According to them, you're so fragile
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Que nadie te da compasión
That no one shows you compassion
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Y es que eres narcisista
And it's that you're a narcissist
(Tu falso amor)
(Your false love)
Tu falso amor
Your false love
Tu falso amor
Your false love
Tu falso amor
Your false love
Tu falso amor
Your false love
Tu falso amor
Your false love
Tu falso amor
Your false love
Tu falso amor
Your false love
Tu falso amor
Your false love
¡Y que te limpie tu mamá!
And let your mom clean you up!
