Se acabó tu tiempo y, la verdad
Your time is up, and the truth
Aquí no hay nada más que hablar
There’s nothing more to discuss here
Mi conclusión es que yo te quedé muy grande
My conclusion is that I was too much for you
No diste el ancho, la verdad
You didn’t measure up, that’s the truth
Y estoy hablando en general
And I'm speaking in general
No voy a estar perdiendo el tiempo con quien no me sabe amar
I won’t waste my time on someone who doesn’t know how to love me
Si te dijera que tú ya vas de salida
If I told you that you’re already on your way out
Que no me importa lo que pase con tu vida
That I don’t care what happens with your life
Si decidí a lo nuestro hoy ponerle freno
If I’ve decided to put a stop to our thing today
Es porque tú ya no me aportas nada bueno
It’s because you no longer bring me anything good
Si te dijera que olvidarte no me duele
If I told you that forgetting you doesn't hurt me
Después de ti me va a sobrar quién me consuele
After you, I'll have plenty of comforters
Sé que hablarás de puro ardor, pero me vale
I know you'll talk out of pure desire, but I don't care
Los dos sabemos aquí quién es el culpable
We both know who the guilty one is here
Fuiste poquito para mí
You were just a little for me
No va a dolerme estar sin ti
It won't hurt me to be without you
Vas de salida, eso ya lo decidí
You're on your way out, I've already decided that
Si te dijera que tú ya vas de salida
If I told you that you're already on your way out
Que no me importa lo que pase con tu vida
That I don't care what happens with your life
Si decidí a lo nuestro hoy ponerle freno
If I decided to put a stop to what we had today
Es porque tú ya no me aportas nada bueno
It's because you no longer bring me anything good
Si te dijera que olvidarte no me duele
If I told you that forgetting you doesn't hurt me
Después de ti me va a sobrar quién me consuele
After you, I'll have plenty of who can console me
Sé que hablarás de puro ardor, pero me vale
I know you'll talk out of pure bitterness, but I don't care
Los dos sabemos aquí quién es el culpable
We both know here who is to blame
Fuiste poquito para mí
You were little for me
No va a dolerme estar sin ti
It's not going to hurt me to be without you
Vas de salida, eso, eso ya
You're on your way out, that's it, that's it already
Ya lo decidí
I've already decided
