Después que te casaste no te he visto más
Since you got married, I haven't seen you again
Yo sé que fue un embullo de tu parte
I know it was a trick on your part
Recuerdo que me dijiste: "Papi déjame explicarte"
I remember you said to me: 'Daddy, let me explain'
Yo sólo sé que te casaste y no te he visto más
All I know is that you got married and I haven't seen you again
Un día frente a frente te voy a encontrar
One day face to face, I will find you
En la guagua, en la esquina, hasta en un parque
On the bus, on the corner, even in a park
Nada tienes que explicarme, nada tengo que explicarte
You have nothing to explain to me, I have nothing to explain to you
Yo sólo sé que te casaste y no te he visto más
All I know is that you got married and I haven't seen you again
Yo no comprendo cómo te esperé
I don't understand how I waited for you
Aquella tarde que embarcado me quedé
That afternoon when I was left stranded
Perdí mi tiempo pudiendo tener
I wasted my time when I could have had
Otra niña que no se parezca a usted
Another girl who doesn’t look like you
Y hoy no lo niego, te guardo rencor
And today I don't deny it, I hold a grudge against you
Por lo falso, por lo mal que te portaste
For the lies, for the way you misbehaved
Y después que tanto hablaste
And after you talked so much
Ni a tu boda me invitaste
You didn’t even invite me to your wedding
Yo sólo sé que te casaste y no te he visto más
All I know is that you got married and I haven’t seen you since
Y después que tanto hablaste
And after you talked so much
Ni a tu boda me invitaste
You didn’t even invite me to your wedding
Yo sólo sé que te casaste y no te he visto más
All I know is that you got married and I haven’t seen you since
Fuiste en mi vida ilusión amada
You were the beloved illusion in my life
Y hasta en la esquina, cosa buena, con otro me engañabas
And even on the corner, good thing, you were deceiving me with another
Piedras me tiraste, flores te brindé
You threw stones at me, I offered you flowers
Yo no sé por qué, yo no sé por qué
I don't know why, I don't know why
Mejor temprano que tarde que te hayas decidido
Better early than late that you've made your choice
Dejarme a mí por el que fue, ay, mi mejor amigo
Leaving me for the one who was, oh, my best friend
Piedras me tiraste, flores te brindé
You threw stones at me, I offered you flowers
Yo no sé por qué, yo no sé por qué
I don't know why, I don't know why
Me he sabido mantener en un lugar respetable
I've managed to stay in a respectable place
Por eso no quiero cuento, ay, no quiero más alardes
That's why I don't want stories, oh, I don't want anymore boasts
Piedras me tiraste, flores te brindé
You threw stones at me, I offered you flowers
Yo no sé por qué, yo no sé por qué
I don't know why, I don't know why
Más nunca vuelvo contigo porque tú estás llorando
But I won't return to you anymore because you're crying
Ahora que estoy gozando más nunca vuelvo contigo, mamá
Now that I'm enjoying, I won't return to you anymore, mama
Piedras me tiraste, flores te brindé
You threw stones at me, I offered you flowers
Yo no sé por qué, yo no sé por qué
I don't know why, I don't know why
Veo que me estás mirando, por eso yo estoy tan serio
I see that you're watching me, that's why I'm so serious
Ahora te veo llorando, eso no tiene remedio
Now I see you crying, that has no remedy
Piedras me tiraste, flores te brindé
You threw stones at me, I offered you flowers
Yo no sé por qué, yo no sé por qué
I don't know why, I don't know why
Pregúntaselo al diablo, al diablo del San José
Ask the devil, the devil from San José
Él lo canta al derecho y yo lo digo al revés
He sings it straight and I say it backward
Después que te casaste no te he visto más
Since you got married, I haven't seen you anymore
