Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Cada Quien Dejen de meterse ya en donde no les importa 

Each to their own - Stop getting involved where it doesn't concern you

Piénsenla dos veces antes de ir a abrir la boca 

Think twice before you open your mouth

Cada quien que haga no más lo  que le toca y menos broncas 

Each one should just do what they need to do and avoid conflicts

Miro cómo hablan mal hasta de su familia 

I see how they speak poorly even about their own family

Y no me imagino lo que dicen de la mía Pero a mí se me resbala lo que digan de mi vida 

And I can't imagine what they say about mine - But I brush off what they say about my life

Y si tomo casi toda la semana Y si diario me quiero jalar la banda 

And if I drink almost all week - And if I want to party every day

¡Cada quien! ¡Cada quien! Que si me gasto el dinero en cosas caras 

Each to their own! Each to their own! - If I spend money on expensive things

Si me voy de vacaciones para Italia ¡Cada quien! ¡No se enreden, cada quien! 

If I go on vacation to Italy - Each to their own! Don't get tangled up, each to their own!

Si les cala, no más no volteen a ver Y si otra vez me quiero amanecer, ¡cada quien! 

If it bothers you, just don't look - And if I want to stay up again, each to their own!

(¡Ay ’apasito! ¡Apriete que nos pelaron, mijo!) (¡Y cada quien haga con su vida lo que quiera!) 

(Oh, come on! Tighten up, they caught us, son!) - (And each one do with their life what they want!)

(¿O no, Maluma?) (¡Ay ’apá!) 

(Right, Maluma?) - (Oh, dad!)

(¡Y puro Grupo Firme!) (¡Más firme que nunca!) 

(And pure Grupo Firme!) - (Stronger than ever!)

¿Para qué preguntan cuánto gano y cuánto tengo? Nada  

Why do they ask how much I earn and what I have? - Nothing

más me quieren andar contando el dinero Cada quien trabaja  

They just want to keep counting my money - Each one works

pa no estar pidiendo de lo ajeno Pierden nada más el tiempo cuando me critican 

to not be asking for what isn't theirs - They just waste their time when they criticize me

Quieren verme abajo y a subir más me motivan 

They want to see me down, but it motivates me to rise higher

Cada quien se tiene que  poner bien pilas, sin envidia 

Each one has to - stay sharp, without envy

Y si tomo casi toda la semana Y si diario me quiero jalar la banda 

And if I drink almost all week - And if I want to party every day

¡Cada quien! ¡Cada quien! Que si me gasto el dinero en cosas caras 

Each to their own! Each to their own! - If I spend money on expensive things

Si me voy de vacaciones para Italia ¡Cada quien! ¡No se enreden, cada quien! 

If I go on vacation to Italy - Each to their own! Don't get tangled up, each to their own!

Si les cala, no más no volteen a ver Y si otra vez me quiero amanecer, ¡cada quien!

If it bothers you, just don't look - And if I want to stay up again, each to their own!
