[English]

Hey,

the king is back.

[música]

[música]

[música]

You can't imagine the pleasure and honor it is

to have you as a friend.

So many years have passed.

I am your brother and a soldier

of devotion.

Life's blows are very cruel

and sometimes they wound

those who don't deserve it.

Last night I witnessed a betrayal.

I saw your wife being affectionate

with a man,

and cousins don't kiss on the mouth.

What she did to you is a crime and her kisses

are cursed. To her love.

[música]

She looked very suspicious when she was entering

a motel wearing sunglasses and a wig. He's wearing

Chanel clothes, the ones you gave her

for her anniversary. The shameless woman.

She got into your own BMW and with

him, she left. And I took two photos as

proof that she is unfaithful. While

you give her heaven, she's destroying her

[música]

It's a crime and her kisses are cursed.

False love,

costly.

[música]

[música]

Oh, my friend,

don't be a fool.

[música]

She is a monster.

I saw your wife being affectionate with a man.

And cousins don't kiss on the mouth. What

she did is a crime and her

kisses are cursed. False love.

I saw her looking very suspicious when

she was entering a motel with sunglasses and a wig.

He's wearing Chanel, the ones you

gave her for her anniversary. The

shameless woman.

She got into your own BMW and with him

she left. And I took

two photos as proof that she is unfaithful. While you give

her heaven, she's destroying her

bed with another.

What she did to you is a crime and her

kisses are cursed. To her love.

[música]

Make way.

[música]

Oh, my sons.

She's cheating on you. She doesn't understand

the concept of being a lady.

[música]

My friend, don't be silly, don't listen

to her words.

Rolling with her kisses, her faces, and her

wicked body.

[música]

You gave her the moon and the stars and look

how

[música]

she played you dirty; she doesn't deserve your

forgiveness.
