[English]

So nasty

...

Your favorite group, baby

...

Cupid, I don’t understand you, you brag about being an example

Of bringing hearts together, an expert in connection

Your arrows missed and with so many violets

That I have given for you and in my garden there’s not a single flower

Well, tell love not to knock on my door

That I’m not home, don’t come back tomorrow

My heart has already been hurt before

I went on vacation far from loves

Tell love it’s not welcome in my life

Give it my farewell, tell it the reasons

...

Cupid, I don’t understand, if luck hates me

And has left me the inheritance of heartbreak

And I apologize, but you never get it right

My Februaries are long even if it’s not your intention

Well, tell love not to knock on my door

That I’m not home, don’t come back tomorrow

My heart has already been hurt before

I went on vacation far from loves

Tell love it’s not welcome in my life

Give it my farewell, tell it the reasons

Yes, Sir

...

Do you like my bachata, baby girl?

Uh huh

I don’t want dates on my calendar

Nor appointments if it’s about love

I’m not interested in hearing more songs

I don’t want to see flowers if it’s about love

My feelings are on a diet

Avoiding moments of disappointment (Cupid)

Tell love not to knock on my door

That I’m not home, don’t come back tomorrow

My heart has already been hurt before

I went on vacation far from loves

Tell love it’s not welcome in my life

Give it my farewell, tell it the reasons

...

Ok

Aventura

...

(I don't need no love in my life, oh) I don't need no love

(I don't need no love in my life, oh)

...

(I don't need no love in my life)

(I don't need no love)

(I don't need no love)

...

[Spanish]

So nasty

Tu grupo favorito, mami

Cupido, no te entiendo, alardeas de ejemplo

De juntar corazones, un experto en conexión

Te fallaron las flechas y de tantas violetas

Que por ti he regalado y en mi jardín no hay ni una flor

Pues, dile al amor que no toque mi puerta

Que yo no estoy en casa, que no vuelva mañana

A mi corazón ya le ha fallado en ocasiones

Me fui de vacaciones lejos de los amores

Dile al amor que no es grato en mi vida

Dale mi despedida, cuéntale las razones

Cupido, no entiendo, si la suerte me odia

Y me ha dado de herencia la fortuna del desamor

Y te pido disculpas, pero no aciertas una

Mis febreros son largos aunque no sea tu intención

Pues, dile al amor que no toque mi puerta

Que yo no estoy en casa, que no vuelva mañana

A mi corazón ya le ha fallado en ocasiones

Me fui de vacaciones lejos de los amores

Dile al amor que no es grato en mi vida

Dale mi despedida, cuéntale las razones

Yes, Sir

¿Le gusta mi bachata, m'hijita?

Ajá

No quiero fechas en mi calendario

Ni citas en mi horario si se trata de amor

No me interesa oír más canciones

No quiero ver flores si se trata de amor

Tengo a dieta los sentimientos

Evitando momentos de desilusión (Cupido)

Dile al amor que no toque mi puerta

Que yo no estoy en casa, que no vuelva mañana

A mi corazón ya le ha fallado en ocasiones

Me fui de vacaciones, lejos de los amores

Dile al amor que no es grato en mi vida

Dale mi despedida, cuéntale las razones

Ok

(I don't need no love in my life, oh) I don't need no love

(I don't need no love in my life, oh)

(I don't need no love in my life)

(I don't need no love)
