Vi la vida con dolor

Que no te debí amar
That I shouldn't have loved you
Porque ahora pienso en tí

Es que tú fuiste muy mala

Sí, muy mala conmigo

Por eso no te quiero
That's why I don't love you
No te quiero ver jamás
I never want to see you
Vete, vete, vete
Go away, go away, go away
Eres una bandolera

Voy a ser yo lo que pueda
I will be whatever I can
Para no quererte más
To stop loving you more
Es que tú fuiste muy mala

Por eso no te quiero

No te quiero ver jamás
I never want to see you again
Eh, eh... tú vé
