Vamos, listo
Come on, ready
Salud, muchacho', por esa mujer
Cheers, buddy, to that woman
Toy cansao de pensarte, con el pecho roto
I'm tired of thinking about you, with a broken heart
Hay sol, pero hace frío desde que no estás
There's sun, but it's cold since you're not here
Me paso tomando, mirando tus fotos
I spend my time drinking, looking at your photos
Queriendo borrarlas, pero no me da
Wanting to erase them, but I can't
Hubiera dicho lo que siento pa no dejar na guardao
I should've said what I feel, so I wouldn't keep anything hidden
Los besos que no te di, te los hubiera robao
The kisses I didn't give you, I would have stolen them
Extrañarte me tiene con los ojos colorao'
Missing you has left me with reddened eyes
No es lo mismo estar solo, que estar solo enamorao
It's not the same being alone, as being alone in love
Dije que te olvidé
I said I forgot you
Pero no te había olvidao (no te había olvidao)
But I hadn't forgotten you (I hadn't forgotten you)
Ay, ay, ay, también dije que te superé
Oh, oh, oh, I also said I got over you
Y no te había superao (no te había superao)
And I hadn't gotten over you (hadn't gotten over you)
Borracho dije que ya te olvidé
Drunk, I said I forgot you already
Pero no te había olvidao (no te había olvidao)
But I hadn't forgotten you (I hadn't forgotten you)
Ay, ay, ay, también dije que te superé
Oh, oh, oh, I also said I got over you
Y no te había superao (no te había superao)
And I hadn't gotten over you (hadn't gotten over you)
Y entrando a la disco la miré, la miré, la miré
And stepping into the club, I looked at her, looked at her, looked at her
Y estaba bailando sola, bailando sola
And she was dancing alone, dancing alone
Me le pegué, me pegué, me pegué
I got close to her, got close, got close
Y así se fueron las horas, un par de horas
And that's how the hours went by, a couple of hours
Dime, sin pena, solo dime
Tell me, without shame, just tell me
Pídeme lo que quieras, menos que yo te olvide
Ask me for anything you want, but not to forget you
Cuando uno está tomando, las palabras no mide
When one is drinking, they don't measure their words
Hoy te pido perdón si algún día borracho
Today I ask for forgiveness if one day drunk
Dije que te olvidé
I said I forgot you
Pero no te había olvidao (no te había olvidao)
But I hadn't forgotten you (I hadn't forgotten you)
Ay, ay, ay, también dije que te superé
Oh, oh, oh, I also said I got over you
Y no te había superao (no te había superao)
And I hadn't gotten over you (hadn't gotten over you)
Borracho dije que ya te olvidé
Drunk, I said I forgot you already
Pero no te había olvidao (no te había olvidao)
But I hadn't forgotten you (I hadn't forgotten you)
Ay, ay, ay, también dije que te superé
Oh, oh, oh, I also said I got over you
Y no te había superao (no te había superao)
And I hadn't gotten over you (hadn't gotten over you)
Entrando a la disco la miré, la miré, la miré
Entering the club, I looked at her, looked at her, looked at her
Y estaba bailando sola, bailando sola
And she was dancing alone, dancing alone
Me le pegué, me pegué, me pegué
I got close to her, got close, got close
Y así se fueron las horas, un par de horas
And that's how the hours went by, a couple of hours
La miré, la miré, la miré
I looked at her, looked at her, looked at her
Y estaba bailando sola, bailando sola
And she was dancing alone, dancing alone
Me le pegué, me pegué, me pegué
I got close to her, got close, got close
Y así se fueron las horas, un par de horas
And that's how the hours went by, a couple of hours
Guapa, ¿cómo te voy a olvidar yo a ti?
Beautiful, how could I ever forget you?
Esta noche me sacan de aquí borracho y contigo
Tonight they'll take me out of here drunk and with you
Sí, señor
Yes, sir
Por ti, mujer
For you, woman
¡Salud!
Cheers!
