Yo aquí, llorándote un río
Here I am, crying you a river
Mandándome al olvido
Sending myself into oblivion
Qué cosa más injusta, amor
What a thing, my love, so unfair
Fuiste matando mis pasiones
You were killing my passions
Tachando mis canciones
Crossing out my songs
Me tenías pisoteado
You had me trampled down
Estaba desahuciado
I was hopeless
No es justo, no, bebé
It's not fair, no, baby
Bom-bom, beo
Pero este mundo ya giró
But this world has turned
Y ahora te tocó perder
And now it's your turn to lose
Bom-bom, beo
Bebé
Baby
Te lloré todo un río (bebé, bebé)
I cried you a whole river (baby, baby)
Bebé
Baby
Te lloré a reventar (bebé, bebé)
I cried until I burst (baby, baby)
Oh, no, no, no
No tienes corazón, oh-oh
You have no heart, oh-oh
No te vuelvo a amar
I won't love you again
Te lloré todo un río
I cried you a whole river
Ahora llórame un mar
Now cry me an ocean
Ya no me busques, ya es muy tarde
Don't look for me anymore, it's too late
Ya tengo otro amor
I have another love now
Una chula sirena
A lovely mermaid
Que nada en mi piel
Who swims on my skin
Yo te perdono, no hay rencores
I forgive you, no grudges
Solo los dolores
Just the pains
Mi alma está arañada
My soul is scratched
Llora el suelo mojado
The wet ground cries
No es justo, no, bebé
It's not fair, no, baby
Bom-bom, beo
Pero este mundo ya giró
But this world has turned
Y ahora te tocó perder
And now it's your turn to lose
Bom-bom, beo
Bebé
Baby
Te lloré todo un río (bebé, bebé)
I cried you a whole river (baby, baby)
Bebé
Baby
Te lloré a reventar (bebé, bebé)
I cried until I burst (baby, baby)
Oh, no, no, no
No tienes corazón, oh-oh
You have no heart, oh-oh
No te vuelvo a amar
I won't love you again
Te lloré todo un río
I cried you a whole river
Ahora llórame un mar
Now cry me an ocean
Verdad que un río te lloré
Is it true that I cried you a river?
Verdad que no te vuelvo a amar

Get lost in your ocean

Is it true that I cried you a river?
Verdad que no te vuelvo a amar

Uh-uh-uh
