Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Y dice

And he/she says

Buscas en mis bolsillos pruebas de otro cariño

You look in my pockets for proof of another love

Pelos en la solapa, esta sonrisa me delata

Hairs on my lapel, this smile gives me away

Labial en la camisa, mi coartada está hecha trizas

Lipstick on my shirt, my alibi is in tatters

Estoy en evidencia, engañar tiene su ciencia

I'm in evidence, cheating has its science

Estoy hasta la coronilla

I'm fed up to the back teeth

Tú no eres mi media costilla

You're not my better half

Ni la octava maravilla

Nor the eighth wonder

Malo si sí, malo si no, ni preguntes

Bad if I do, bad if I don't, don't even ask

Ya no soy yo, fuera de mí es que me tienes

It's not me anymore, you have me out of myself

Que si vengo, que no voy

That if I come, that I don't go

Que si estoy, que me pierdo

That if I am, that I get lost

Que si tengo, que no doy

That if I have, that I don't give

Que si estoy, que me vengo

That if I am, that I come (orgasm)

Malo si sí, malo si no, ni preguntes

Bad if I do, bad if I don't, don't even ask

Ya no soy yo, fuera de mí es que me tienes

It's not me anymore, you have me out of myself

Que si vengo, que no voy

That if I come, that I don't go

Que si estoy, que me pierdo

That if I am, that I get lost

Que si tengo, que no doy

That if I have, that I don't give

Que si estoy, que me vengo

That if I am, that I come (orgasm)

Lo siento en tus manos, tus caricias me han robado

I feel it in your hands, your caresses have robbed me

Lo huelo en tu boca, esos besos ya son de otra

I smell it on your mouth, those kisses are already from someone else

¿Quién será esa infame wue no deja que yo te ame?

Who will be that infamous bitch who doesn't let me love you?

Si yo la encontrara le partiría esa cara

If I found her, I would smash her face

Estoy hasta la coronilla

I'm fed up to the back teeth

Tú no eres mi media costilla

You're not my better half

Ni la octava maravilla

Nor the eighth wonder

Malo si sí, malo si no, ni preguntes

Bad if I do, bad if I don't, don't even ask

Ya no soy yo, fuera de mí es que me tienes

It's not me anymore, you have me out of myself

Que si vengo, que no voy

That if I come, that I don't go

Que si estoy, que me pierdo

That if I am, that I get lost

Que si tengo, que no doy

That if I have, that I don't give

Que si estoy, que me vengo

That if I am, that I come (orgasm)

Te dije no más, y te cagaste de risa

I told you no more, and you laughed your ass off

Te dije no más, y te cagaste de risa

I told you no more, and you laughed your ass off

Te dije no más, y te cagaste de risa

I told you no more, and you laughed your ass off

Ja, ja, ja, ja

Ha, ha, ha, ha
