Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Es que no es normal

It's just not normal

Ya no te tengo

I don't have you anymore

En otras pensar pa' ver si de noche yo me entretengo

Thinking about others to see if I can entertain myself at night

Te vieron con ese por tu zona dándote un paseo

They saw you with him in your area, taking a walk

No entiendo tu juego, no entiendo,

I don't understand your game, I don't understand,

que me tienes en mareo

that you have me confused

Y quiero olvidar

And I want to forget

Pero no puedo

But I can't

Tú me quieres al lado, pero porque todo eso te lo cedo

You want me by your side, but why do I give in to all that?

Siendo tú la mala y aun así de noche yo te veo

Even though you're the bad one, and still at night I see you

Siendo tú la mala

Even though you're the bad one

y aun así siento todo el deseo

and still I feel all the desire

Tú no estás queriéndolo,

You're not wanting him,

mucho menos amándolo

much less truly loving him

Tiempo estás perdiéndolo,

You're wasting time,

no coge el teléfono

he doesn't answer the phone

¿Se estará olvidando

Will he be forgetting her

o será que la abandonó?

or did he abandon her?

¿Se siguen hablando?

Are they still talking?

Si me habla, le diré que no

If she talks to me, I'll say no

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Me mira a los ojos y rápido desenfoco

She looks into my eyes and I quickly lose focus

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Pasa el tiempo, pero de momento es poco

Time passes, but for now, it's not much

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Si sigues con ese seguro en mi mente choco

If you stay with him, I'll surely go crazy

Mismo, eso no es lo mismo

It's the same, but that's not the same

Él es egoísmo, te lleva al abismo

He is selfishness, he leads you to the abyss

Himno, te dedico un himno

Hymn, I dedicate a hymn to you

Él no es lo mismo, a él le falta ritmo

He's not the same, he lacks rhythm

Blando, lo nuestro es muy blando

Weak, what we have is very weak

De mí siempre hablando, como comparando

Always talking about me, like comparing

El mismo yo siendo

Being the same me

Pobre sonriendo

Poor and smiling

Rico y escondiendo

Rich and hiding

Me hablan, no entiendo

They talk to me, I don't understand

Tú no estás queriéndolo,

You're not wanting him,

mucho menos amándolo

much less truly loving him

Tiempo estás perdiéndolo,

You're wasting time,

no coge el teléfono

he doesn't answer the phone

¿Se estará olvidando

Will he be forgetting her

o será que la abandonó?

or did he abandon her?

¿Se siguen hablando?

Si me habla, le diré que no

Oh, oh

Oh, oh

Key Grammar Structures

• Ya no te tengo

  ➔ Adverbial phrase “ya no” (no longer/anymore)

  ➔ The phrase "ya no" indicates that an action or state that was previously true is no longer happening or existing. It signifies a cessation.

• Te vieron con ese por tu zona dándote un paseo

  ➔ Gerund with reflexive pronoun for manner/action

  ➔ The phrase "dándote un paseo" uses the gerund ("dando") combined with the reflexive pronoun ("te") to describe the ongoing action of "taking a walk/stroll" in a specific way, acting as an adverbial phrase.

• Tú me quieres al lado, pero porque todo eso te lo cedo

  ➔ Double object pronouns (indirect and direct)

  ➔ In "te lo", "te" is the indirect object pronoun (to you), and "lo" is the direct object pronoun (that/it). They typically precede the conjugated verb.

• Siendo tú la mala y aun así de noche yo te veo

  ➔ Gerund of "ser" (siendo) for concession or cause

  ➔ "Siendo" here introduces a concessive clause, meaning "even though you are" or "despite you being." It indicates a contrast between the two parts of the sentence.

• Tú no estás queriéndolo, mucho menos amándolo

  ➔ Present Progressive with attached direct object pronoun & "mucho menos"

  ➔ The present progressive ("estar + gerund") in "estás queriéndolo" and "amándolo" indicates an ongoing action. The direct object pronoun ("lo") is attached to the gerund. "Mucho menos" means "much less" or "even less."

• ¿Se estará olvidando o será que la abandonó?

  ➔ Future Progressive of a Reflexive Verb / Future of Probability

  ➔ The phrase "Se estará olvidando" combines the future progressive tense (estar + gerund in future tense) with a reflexive verb ("olvidarse"). It expresses a conjecture about an ongoing action in the present or near future, meaning 'I wonder if he is forgetting' or 'Perhaps he will be forgetting'.

• ¿Se siguen hablando? Si me habla, le diré que no

  ➔ Reciprocal reflexive verb & Type 1 Conditional Clause

  ➔ "Se siguen hablando" uses the reciprocal "se" to indicate that the action ("hablar") is performed by two or more subjects to each other. "Siguen" (from "seguir") combined with the gerund means "they continue speaking." The second part, "Si me habla, le diré", is a Type 1 conditional: "Si [present tense], [future tense]" expresses a real and probable condition.

• A él le falta ritmo

  ➔ Verb "faltar" construction with indirect object pronoun

  ➔ The verb "faltar" (to lack, to be missing) is commonly used with an indirect object pronoun (e.g., "le") to indicate who is doing the lacking. The thing that is lacked (ritmo) acts as the subject of "faltar." "A él" reinforces the indirect object.

• Lo nuestro es muy blando

  ➔ Neutral article "lo" + possessive adjective

  ➔ The neutral article "lo" combined with a possessive adjective ("nuestro") forms a possessive noun phrase referring to "that which is ours" or "our thing/stuff."
