Vienes cada día destrozada
You come every day, so shattered
A comentarme que te duelen tantas cosas
To tell me that so many things hurt you
Que él te engaña, que te hiere, que te miente
That he deceives you, that he hurts you, that he lies to you
Que no sabes si le amas o razonas
That you don't know if you love him or if you reason it out
Siempre el hecho es que soy yo el que te escucha
The truth is, I’m the one who listens to you
Y muchas veces soy el eco de tus penas
And often, I'm the echo of your sorrows
Ten cuidado no te asalten ni se cruzen
Be careful, don't let them ambush you or cross your path
Los instintos que van mal por tu cabeza
The instincts that spiral wrong in your head
Nuestras cosas por favor no las confundas
Please don't confuse our things
Con tus miedos y tus quejas
With your fears and your complaints
Que soy más compinche de él y menos tuyo
That I'm more of his buddy and less yours
Y tus propuestas me avergüenzan
And your suggestions embarrass me
Deja ya de provocar
Stop provoking already
No destruyas lo que vale esta amistad
Don't destroy what makes this friendship valuable
No confundas tu ansiedad
Don't confuse your anxiety
Por calmar la soledad conmigo
With calming the loneliness with me
El es mi amigo
He is my friend
Deja ya de provocar
Stop provoking already
No te estoy juzgando mal
I'm not judging you harshly
No es Nada Personal
It's nothing personal
No confundas tu ansiedad
Don't confuse your anxiety
Por calmar tu soledad conmigo
To calm your loneliness with me
El es mi amigo
He is my friend
Tienes que reconocer que muchas veces
You have to admit that many times
Ni me escuchas ni te importan mis historias
You neither listen to me nor care about my stories
Pues tus frases y tus dulces gestos
For your phrases and your sweet gestures
Son la hiel
Are the bitterness
Que me lanzan, me seducen y provocan
That toss me, seduce me, and provoke
No se trata de perdones ni de excusas
It's not about forgiveness or excuses
Sólo quiero que tu trates de evitarlo
I just want you to try to avoid it
Deja quieta la pasión y los sentidos
Leave passion and the senses at rest
Y te juro que todo queda olvidado
And I swear that everything will be forgotten
Nuestras cosas por favor no las confundas
Please don't mix up our things
Con tus miedos y tus quejas
With your fears and your complaints
Que soy más compinche de él y menos tuyo
Because I'm more of his buddy and less yours
Y tus propuestas me avergüenzan
And your proposals embarrass me
Deja ya de provocar
Stop provoking already
No destruyas lo que vale esta amistad
Don't destroy what this friendship is worth
No confundas tu ansiedad
Don't confuse your anxiety
Por calmar la soledad conmigo
With calming your loneliness with me
El es mi amigo
He is my friend
