[English]

Forgive me if you make me fall in love or betray me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, in my bed

The other night I saw you with my friend (baby)

That's how it gets tough, tough, tough, tough

With this you killed me, you stole my pride

If it gets tough, tough, tough, tough

I don't know how to forget you, baby, I swear

I'm problematic in bed

But that's how we fix it

I don't think it's a drama

I'm a princess, I like it when we scream

I have your edited photo

To kiss your little mouth

And when you need me

I want you to treat me well

I have your edited photo

To kiss your little mouth

And when you need me

I want you to treat me well

(But you don't leave me alone)

Forgive me if you make me fall in love or betray me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, in my bed

The other night I saw you with my friend (baby)

That's how it gets tough, tough, tough, tough

With this you killed me, you stole my pride

If it gets tough, tough, tough, tough

I don't know how to forget you, baby, I swear

But I have a tattoo on my breast

It's the mark on my skin from the night before

Don't you remember, you took my sleep away

What a feeling, I need medication

I told you, I warned you

I have the cartel's number, of course

I told you, but you didn't

(Hands up, baby, it's a robbery)

I have your edited photo

To kiss your little mouth

And when you need me

I want you to treat me well

I have your edited photo

To kiss your little mouth

And when you need me

I want you to treat me well

(But you don't leave me alone)

Forgive me if you make me fall in love or betray me

Oh, oh, oh, oh, in my bed

The other night I saw you with my friend (baby)

That's how it gets tough, tough, tough, tough

With this you killed me, you stole my pride

If it gets tough, tough, tough, tough

I don't know how to forget you, baby, I swear

(Tough, tough, tough, tough)

(Tough, tough, tough, tough, tough)

(Tough, tough, tough, tough)

[Spanish]

Perdona si me enamoras o traicionas

Ay, ay, ay, ay, en mi cama

La otra noche te vi con mi pana (papi)

Así se pone duro, duro, duro, duro

Con esto me mataste, robaste mi orgullo

Si se pone duro, duro, duro, duro

No sé cómo olvidarte, papito, te lo juro

Soy problemática en la cama

Pero así lo arreglamos

No creo que es un drama

Soy una princesa, me gusta cuando gritamos

Yo tengo tu foto editada

Pa besarte tu boquita

Y cuando te necesita

Yo quiero que me trates bien

Yo tengo tu foto editada

Pa besarte tu boquita

Y cuando te necesita

Yo quiero que me trates bien

(Pero no me dejas sola)

Perdona si me enamoras o traicionas

Ay, ay, ay, ay, en mi cama

La otra noche te vi con mi pana (papi)

Así se pone duro, duro, duro, duro

Con esto me mataste, robaste mi orgullo

Si se pone duro, duro, duro, duro

No sé cómo olvidarte, papito, te lo juro

Pero tengo un tatuaje en mi seno

Es la marca en mi piel de la noche anterior

No te acuerdas, me quitaste el sueño

Qué sentimiento, yo necesito medicación

Yo te lo dije, te lo advertí

Tengo el número del cartel, claro que sí

Yo te lo dije, pero tú no

(Manos arriba, bebé, es un robo)

Yo tengo tu foto editada

Pa besarte tu boquita

Y cuando te necesita

Yo quiero que me trates bien

Yo tengo tu foto editada

Pa besarte tu boquita

Y cuando te necesita

Yo quiero que me trates bien

Key Grammar Structures

• Perdona si me enamoras o traicionas

  ➔ Conditional 'si' clauses (present subjunctive or indicative)

  ➔ The sentence uses "si" to express a conditional. The verb tenses used after "si" often determine the likelihood or reality of the condition. Here, "enamoras" and "traicionas" are in the present indicative, implying a more real or possible situation.

• La otra noche te vi con mi pana (papi)

  ➔ Preterite tense (vi), Use of direct object pronoun (te)

  ➔ "Vi" is the preterite form of the verb "ver" (to see), indicating an action completed in the past. "Te" is a direct object pronoun, referring to "you" as the object of the verb "vi".

• Así se pone duro, duro, duro, duro

  ➔ Impersonal 'se' (describing a state)

  ➔ The 'se' here is impersonal, indicating a general state of becoming hard or difficult. It doesn't refer to a specific person or subject, but rather to a process or change in condition.

• Con esto me mataste, robaste mi orgullo

  ➔ Preterite tense (mataste, robaste)

  ➔ "Mataste" and "robaste" are in the preterite tense, indicating completed actions in the past. They describe what the person did to the speaker.

• No sé cómo olvidarte, papito, te lo juro

  ➔ Use of indirect object pronoun 'lo', subordinate clause with 'cómo'

  ➔ "Lo" refers back to the action of forgetting him, making it the thing being sworn. "Cómo olvidarte" forms a subordinate clause acting as the object of the verb "sé" (know).

• Soy problemática en la cama, pero así lo arreglamos

  ➔ Use of 'pero' to contrast, use of 'lo' as a pronoun replacing an idea, use of 'así' as a way to do something.

  ➔ "Pero" is used to show a contrast between being problematic and the way they resolve issues. "Lo" refers to the situation. "Así" explain how they resolve the situation.

• Yo tengo tu foto editada pa besarte tu boquita

  ➔ Use of 'pa' instead of 'para', and informal shortened version of preposition. Use infinitive verb

  ➔ "Pa" is a colloquial shortening of "para" (for/to). "Besarte" is the infinitive form of the verb "besar" (to kiss), used after the preposition to indicate purpose.

• Pero tengo un tatuaje en mi seno, es la marca en mi piel de la noche anterior

  ➔ Use of 'pero' to contrast, use of 'es' to link noun phrases, and use of prepositional phrase ('de la noche anterior')

  ➔ "Pero" contrasts the previous statement with the new information. "Es" links "un tatuaje" with "la marca". "De la noche anterior" is a prepositional phrase that modifies "la marca"

• Yo te lo dije, te lo advertí

  ➔ Double Object Pronouns (te lo)

  ➔ The structure "te lo dije" and "te lo advertí" utilizes both an indirect object pronoun ("te" - to you) and a direct object pronoun ("lo" - it/that) to refer to the warning or the thing that was said.
