[English]

They told me you're alone

That after me, no one else controls you

That you go out after midnight

Your old friends don't even know you anymore

Everyone blames me

Even your family says I hurt you

And I declare myself guilty

For all the times I betrayed you

After I lost you (After I lost you)

Now I want to give you what I didn't give you

After I messed you up (After I messed you up)

I made you cry, I also made you suffer

Your memory follows me

It hurts me, babe, it haunts me

I let karma punish me

I'm cold and there's no one to keep me warm

After I lost you (After I lost you)

Now I want to give you what I didn't give you

After I messed you up (After I messed you up)

I made you cry, I also made you suffer

Your memory follows me

It hurts me, babe, it haunts me

I let karma punish me

I'm cold and there's no one to keep me warm

I keep thinking about you

About all those times I promised you and never delivered

About all the times you got beautiful for me

In those moments

When you would arrive at bedtime

And your soul always over me (yeah)

And it doesn't go away, I can't get over you

Alone in my house, I feel like I'm dying

I have the cash and I have the money

But not a heart of steel

Please come back, babe, I'll wait for you

Whatever it takes, I'll wait for you

You've been mine since third grade

Since you lent me the pen

I, who thought I could

Live without having you in my life

Now I find myself suffering

I can't handle this agony

Thinking about you every day

Karma punishes without mercy

I keep calling your friend

To see if she bothers you and makes you

After I lost you (After I lost you)

Now I want to give you what I didn't give you

After I messed you up (After I messed you up)

I made you cry, I also made you suffer

Your memory follows me

It hurts me, babe, it haunts me

I let karma punish me

I'm cold and there's no one to keep me warm

It was all my fault, I did you wrong

It was my fault, I made you change

I don't know if someday you'll want to forgive me

But even if you do, I'll never forget you

I know you suffered, I also cried

You turned into another woman

You're not the same anymore, you seem cold

That feelings won't return to your heart

They told me you're alone

That after me, no one else controls you

That you go out after midnight

Your old friends don't even know you anymore

Everyone blames me

Even your family says I hurt you

And I declare myself guilty

For all the times I betrayed you

After I lost you (After I lost you)

Now I want to give you what I didn't give you

After I messed you up (After I messed you up)

I made you cry, I also made you suffer

Your memory follows me

It hurts me, babe, it haunts me

I let karma punish me

I'm cold and there's no one to keep me warm

After I lost you (After I lost you)

Now I want to give you what I didn't give you

After I messed you up (After I messed you up)

I made you cry, I also made you suffer

Your memory follows me

It hurts me, babe, it haunts me

I let karma punish me

I'm cold and there's no one to keep me warm

After I lost you

(After I lost you)

(After I lost you)

Crazy, humble and real

[Spanish]

Me dijeron que estás sola

Que después de mí, nadie más te controla

Que sales después de las doce

Tus viejos amigos ya ni te conocen

Todo' me culpan a mí

Hasta tu familia dice que te dañé

Y yo me declaro culpable

Por toda' las veces que te traicioné

Después que te perdí (Después que te perdí)

Ahora quiero darte lo que no te di

Después que te jodí (Después que te jodí)

Yo te hice llorar, también te hice sufrir

Tu recuerdo me sigue

Me maltrata, ma, me persigue

Dejo que el karma me castigue

Tengo frío y no hay quién me abrigue

Después que te perdí (Después que te perdí)

Ahora quiero darte lo que no te di

Después que te jodí (Después que te jodí)

Yo te hice llorar, también te hice sufrir

Tu recuerdo me sigue

Me maltrata, ma, me persigue

Dejo que el karma me castigue

Tengo frío y no hay quién me abrigue

Sigo pensando en ti

En toda' esa' vece' que te prometí y nunca cumplí

En toda' las vece' que te ponía' bonita para mí

En eso' momento'

Cuando llegaba' a la hora de dormir

Y tu alma siempre sobre mí (yeh)

Y no se me pasa, no te supero

Solo en mi casa siento que muero

Tengo la plata y tengo el dinero

Pero no el corazón de acero

Por favor vuelve, ma, yo te espero

Lo que sea te espero

Tú eres mía desde tercero

Desde que me prestaste el lapicero

Yo que pensaba que podía

Vivir sin tenerte en mi vida

Ahora me encuentro sufriendo

No puedo con esta agonía

Pensándote to' los día'

La karma sin pena castiga

Me paso llamando a tu amiga

A ver si te hostiga y te obliga

Después que te perdí (Después que te perdí)

Ahora quiero darte lo que no te di

Después que te jodí (Después que te jodí)

Yo te hice llorar, también te hice sufrir

Tu recuerdo me sigue

Me maltrata, ma, me persigue

Dejo que la karma me castigue

Tengo frío y no hay quién me abrigue

Todo fue mi culpa, yo te hice mal

Fue mi culpa, yo te hice cambiar

Yo no sé si algún día tú me quiera' perdonar

Pero aunque tú lo haga' yo nunca te vo' a olvidar

Sé que sufriste, yo también lloré

Te convertiste en otra mujer

Ya tú no eres la misma, ere' fría al parecer

Que los sentimiento' a tu corazón no van a volver

Me dijeron que estás sola

Que después de mí, nadie más te controla

Que sales después de las doce

Tus viejos amigos ya ni te conocen

Todo' me culpan a mí

Hasta tu familia dice que te dañé

Y yo me declaro culpable

Por toda' las veces que te traicioné

Después que te perdí (Después que te perdí)

Ahora quiero darte lo que no te di

Después que te jodí (Después que te jodí)

Yo te hice llorar, también te hice sufrir

Tu recuerdo me sigue

Me maltrata, ma, me persigue

Dejo que la karma me castigue

Tengo frío y no hay quién me abrigue

Después que te perdí (Después que te perdí)

Ahora quiero darte lo que no te di

Después que te jodí (Después que te jodí)

Yo te hice llorar, también te hice sufrir

Tu recuerdo me sigue

Me maltrata, ma, me persigue

Dejo que el karma me castigue

Tengo frío y no hay quién me abrigue

Después que te perdí

(Después que te perdí)

(Después que te perdí)

Loco, humilde y real

Key Grammar Structures

• Me dijeron que estás sola

  ➔ Impersonal use of 'dijeron' (they said)

  ➔ The third-person plural verb "dijeron" is often used to refer to an unspecified group of people, meaning "people said" or "it was said," rather than specific individuals.

• Que después de mí, nadie más te controla

  ➔ Negative pronouns ('nadie más')

  ➔ "Nadie más" means "nobody else" and forms a complete negation, often not requiring an additional "no" before the verb when placed before it.

• Por toda' las veces que te traicioné

  ➔ Relative clause with 'que'

  ➔ "Que" introduces a restrictive relative clause "que te traicioné" that modifies the noun "veces" (times), providing essential information about which times are being referred to.

• Ahora quiero darte lo que no te di

  ➔ Relative pronoun 'lo que'

  ➔ "Lo que" translates to "what" or "that which" and is used to refer to an abstract idea, an unspecified thing, or a concept, rather than a specific noun.

• Dejo que el karma me castigue

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after verbs of influence/permission ('dejar que')

  ➔ Verbs like "dejar que" (to let/allow that) express permission, desire, or influence, which requires the subjunctive mood in the dependent clause that follows.

• Sigo pensando en ti

  ➔ Verb + Gerund construction ('seguir + gerundio')

  ➔ The construction "seguir + gerund" (e.g., "sigo pensando") is used to express the continuation of an action or state, meaning "to keep doing something" or "to still be doing something."

• Yo que pensaba que podía vivir sin tenerte en mi vida

  ➔ Imperfect tense for habitual actions/thoughts in the past

  ➔ The imperfect tense verbs "pensaba" (I used to think/was thinking) and "podía" (I could/was able to) describe ongoing, habitual, or descriptive actions/states in the past, without a definite beginning or end.

• Pero no el corazón de acero

  ➔ Elliptical sentence (omission of verb)

  ➔ This is an elliptical sentence where the verb, implicitly "tengo" (I have), is omitted for conciseness. The full sentence would be "Pero no tengo el corazón de acero" (But I don't have a heart of steel).

• Yo no sé si algún día tú me quiera' perdonar

  ➔ Subjunctive in a dependent clause expressing doubt/uncertainty (informal usage)

  ➔ While 'si' clauses usually take the indicative, "querer" followed by a clause expressing a desired or uncertain outcome often triggers the subjunctive in informal Spanish, signifying the speaker's doubt about the action happening.

• Fue mi culpa, yo te hice cambiar

  ➔ Causative 'hacer + infinitive'

  ➔ The construction "hacer + infinitive" means "to make someone do something" or "to cause something to happen," indicating a causative action where the subject (yo) is responsible for the object's (tú) action.
