Lyrics & Translation
She only wants me for herself and says she wouldn't die for me
She tells me she loves me, that she's real for me
That she likes how I am, I'm the only one who gives her
She says she's not jealous, she knows that's not true
When we fight, she admits
That she only wants me for herself
That she only wants me for herself, uh
That she only wants me for herself
That she only wants me for herself
She only wants me for herself and says she wouldn't die for me
She lies, but the truth is I know she truly loves me
She calls early in the morning, if she's about to get what she's looking for
She fights, then ends up giving it to me
Giving, giving
Doing everything she likes
She shoots and doesn’t flinch, she gets wild
The scratches are from the pu-
She’s always ready for anything
When the daughter of the pu- freaks out
She wants to check my WhatsApp
She’s always active every time she checks
Pretends it doesn’t hurt, knowing she’s dying inside
If she saw me with another woman, she’d kill all the girls
She says she's not jealous, she lives in despair
Because she acts tough but really loves me deep down
She tells me she loves me, that she's real for me
That she likes how I am, I'm the only one who gives her
She says she's not jealous, she knows that’s not true
When we fight, she admits
That she only wants me for herself
That she only wants me for herself, uh
That she only wants me for herself
That she only wants me for herself
She only wants me for herself and says she wouldn't die for me
She only wants me for herself and says she wouldn't die for me
She only wants me for herself and says she wouldn't die for me
She only wants me for herself

Key Grammar Structures
-
Me quiere pa ella na má y dice que por mí no se muere
➔ Subjunctive Mood (''se muere'')
➔ The phrase "por mí no se muere" implies a hypothetical or unreal situation. Although it is in present tense, the underlying meaning is not a statement of fact, but rather a condition or possibility, close to subjunctive usage. While direct subjunctive isn't used, the implication leans towards it.
-
Que cómo le gusta, soy el único que le da
➔ Indirect Question (''Que cómo le gusta'')
➔ "Que cómo le gusta" functions as an indirect question embedded within a statement. "Cómo le gusta" would be a direct question, but "que cómo le gusta" transforms it into a subordinate clause acting as a noun.
-
Dice que no es celosa, sabe que no es verdad
➔ Contradiction/Irony
➔ The line presents a contradiction: she claims she's not jealous, but the speaker knows it's untrue, creating a sense of irony. The grammar itself is simple declarative sentences, but the overall meaning is complex due to the implied contrast.
-
Si cuando nos matamo, me confiesa
➔ Conditional Clause (''Si cuando nos matamo...'')
➔ "Si cuando nos matamo..." introduces a conditional clause. The use of "si" indicates a condition that, if met, leads to a specific result (she confesses). Note that "matamo" is likely slang, but grammatically functions as a verb in the conditional clause.
-
Llama en madrugá y, si se le va a dar lo que anda buscando
➔ Irregular verb conjugation (''madrugá'')
➔ "Madrugá" is a colloquial shortening of "madrugada" but it's used almost as an adverb. The important aspect is the elision and colloquial usage that skips formal conjugation.
-
Hace que no le hiere, sabiendo que se muere
➔ Gerund (''sabiendo'')
➔ "Sabiendo" is a gerund, indicating an action happening simultaneously with the main verb ("Hace"). It describes the manner in which she acts; she pretends not to be hurt, *knowing* that she is.
-
Si me viera con la otra, mata a toa' las mujere
➔ Conditional Sentence (Type 2): Imperfect Subjunctive + Conditional Simple
➔ This sentence expresses a hypothetical situation and its likely outcome. The imperfect subjunctive (''viera'') in the ''si'' clause sets up the unreal condition, and the conditional simple (''mataría'') indicates what *would* happen if that condition were true. Note that in this lyric, the simpler verb form 'mata' is used instead of 'mataría'.
