Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Últimamente, todo me acuerda a ti, eh

Lately, everything reminds me of you, hey

Y a ti te pasa igual, lo sé, lo sé

And you feel the same, I know, I know

Bonitos recuerdos en aquella suite

Beautiful memories in that suite

Pero si fuera por mí, te vuelvo a conocer

But if it were up to me, I’d meet you again

Para cambiar par de cosas, menos esos polvos

To change a couple of things, except those powders

Bien loco en el balcón con Italia de fondo

Crazy on the balcony with Italy in the background

Si se acaba el show, yo tranqui, yo me amoldo

If the show ends, I’m chill, I’ll adapt

Así no haya nada y el techo sea un toldo

Even if there’s nothing and the roof is a tarp

Ma, yo no te di mi corazón

Mom, I didn’t give you my heart

Eso fue un robo

That was a theft

Y si te veo con otro

And if I see you with someone else

Voy a formar un bobo

I’ll act like a fool

Bebé, perdona la hora

Baby, sorry it’s so late

Es que el dolor no mejora

It’s just that the pain doesn’t get better

Ya he intеntao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos sе necesita droga

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

Mi tesoro, mi señora (señora)

My treasure, my lady (lady)

La que me descontrola (descontrola)

The one who unravels me (unravels me)

Y a la misma vez, me calma solamente con decirme "hola"

And at the same time, she calms me just by saying “hello”

Intentémoslo otra vez, porfa, mami, aunque no dure

Let’s try again, please, baby, even if it doesn’t last

No quiero buscarte en otras ni tener que comprar Durex

I don’t want to look for you elsewhere or buy Durex

Te veo y se me nota por más que disimule

When I see you, it shows no matter how much I hide

Tenerte cerquita hace que mi mente se desnude

Having you close makes my mind strip bare

Brujería, mami, tú me hiciste brujería

Witchcraft, baby, you’ve cast spells on me

Sin mí te ves triste y aburrida

Without me, you look sad and bored

Acércate de nuevo pa darte una alegría

Come back close again to give you joy

Acuérdate de lo que se sentía

Remember how it used to feel

Ma, yo no te di mi corazón

Mom, I didn’t give you my heart

Eso fue un robo

That was a theft

Y si te veo con otro, voy a formar un bobo

And if I see you with someone else, I’ll act like a fool

Bebé, perdona la hora

Baby, sorry it’s so late

Es que el dolor no mejora

It’s just that the pain doesn’t get better

He intеntao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos sе necesita droga

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

Mi tesoro, mi señora (señora)

My treasure, my lady (lady)

La que me descontrola (descontrola)

The one who unravels me (unravels me)

Y a la misma vez, me calma solamente con decirme "hola"

And at the same time, she calms me just by saying “hello”

Firmé el contrato sin leer las letras pequeña'

I signed the contract without reading the fine print

Me viste prendido en fuego y le echaste más leña

You saw me on fire and added more wood

Mi alma sigue siendo tuya, solo tiene una dueña

My soul is still yours, it only has one owner

Ya veo que olvidas rápido, ¿Qué tal si me enseñas?

I see you forget quickly, how about you teach me?

Mami, por tu culpa solo salen letras de despecho

Baby, because of you, all I have is heartbreak songs

Esta te la hice pa que la cantes con la mano en el pecho

This one I made for you so you can sing it with your hand on your chest

Toy adicto a ti, nunca estoy satisfecho

I’m addicted to you, I’m never satisfied

Te fuiste sin despedirte, eso sí que fue un headshot

You left without saying goodbye, that was a headshot

Yo no sé por qué carajo te vuelvo a escribir

I don’t know why I keep writing to you

Pero perdona la hora

But sorry it’s so late

Es que el dolor no mejora

It’s just that the pain doesn’t get better

Ya he intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

Mi tesoro, mi señora

My treasure, my lady

La que me descontrola

The one who unravels me

Y a la misma vez

And at the same time

Me calma solamente con decirme "hola"

She calms me just by saying “hello”

He intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

He intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

He intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

He intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos se necesita droga

I’ve tried meditating, but to forget your kisses, I need drugs

He intentao meditar

I’ve tried meditating

Grammar:

• Últimamente, todo me acuerda a ti, eh

  ➔ Impersonal verb “acordar” with reflexive pronoun.

  ➔ The verb "acordar" (to remind) is used impersonally here, meaning 'everything reminds me of you'. The reflexive pronoun "me" indicates that the action is directed back to the subject.

• Pero si fuera por mí, te vuelvo a conocer

  ➔ Conditional sentences type 2 (unreal present/future).

  ➔ The phrase "si fuera por mí" introduces a hypothetical condition. The subjunctive mood "fuera" is used, and the main clause uses the conditional tense "vuelvo".

• Ya he intentao meditar, pero pa olvidar tus besos sе necesita droga

  ➔ Use of "pa" instead of "para".

  ➔ "Pa" is a colloquial shortening of "para" (in order to/for). It is common in informal speech and some song lyrics.

• Firmé el contrato sin leer las letras pequeña'

  ➔ Gerund phrase "sin leer" expressing manner.

  ➔ The gerund phrase "sin leer las letras pequeña'" (without reading the fine print) describes how the action of signing the contract was performed.

• Ya veo que olvidas rápido, ¿Qué tal si me enseñas?

  ➔ Question offering a suggestion "¿Qué tal si...?"

  ➔ "`Qué tal si...?`" is a common construction to make a suggestion or offer an idea. It's similar to "How about if...?" or "What if...?"

• Esta te la hice pa que la cantes con la mano en el pecho

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after "para que".

  ➔ The phrase "para que" (so that/in order that) requires the subjunctive mood in the following verb ("cantes").

• Toy adicto a ti, nunca estoy satisfecho

  ➔ Using "estar" with adjectives expressing temporary states (addicted, satisfied).

  ➔ The verb "estar" is used to describe temporary conditions or states, as opposed to inherent qualities (which would use "ser"). Being addicted and being satisfied are considered states that can change.
