[English]

If I'm drinking

It's because I'm pouring alcohol on the wounds I'm healing inside

If you see me hugging a bottle

Or suddenly talking to it

It may be that I'm asking it for advice and that's what I'm drinking

I'm not crying

It's that feelings are thawing, they are not tears of crying

If someone here had a bad day

Let me tell you my story

Surely, after I tell you, you will no longer be complaining

Today I saw the love of my life

As happy as ever, kissing the love of her life, yeah

She looked at him the same way she used to look at me

I already understood that this war is lost

Because the love of my life

I heard that she is making her life with someone else, yeah

If I tell you that I want her to be happy, I would be lying

Conclusion: I have love for her and envy for him

And this is

Grupo Frontera

And pure Grupo Firme!

Uh!

Today I saw the love of my life

As happy as ever, kissing the love of her life, yeah

She looked at him the same way she used to look at me

I already understood that this war is lost

Because the love of my life

I heard that she is making her life with someone else, yeah

If I tell you that I want her to be happy, I would be lying

Conclusion: I have love for her and envy for him

Conclusion: I have love for her and envy for him

[Spanish]

Si estoy tomando

Es porque estoy echando alcohol a las heridas que por dentro estoy curando

Si me ven abrazado de una botella

O de pronto que estoy hablando con ella

Puede ser que estoy pidiéndole consejos y eso es lo que estoy tomando

No estoy llorando

Es que se están descongelando sentimientos, no son lágrimas de llanto

Si de pronto alguien de aquí tuvo un mal día

Deje que yo les cuente la historia mía

Que seguramente, después que le cuente, ya no se va a estar quejando

Hoy vi al amor de mi vida

Tan feliz como nunca, besando al amor de su vida, yeah

Lo miraba de la misma forma que antes me veía

Ya entendí que esta guerra la tengo perdida

Porque el amor de mi vida

Me dijeron por ahí que con otro está haciendo su vida, yeah

Si les digo que quiero que sea feliz, mentiría

Conclusión: a ella le tengo amor y a ese le tengo envidia

Y esto es

Grupo Frontera

¡Y puro Grupo Firme!

¡Uh!

Hoy vi al amor de mi vida

Tan feliz como nunca, besando al amor de su vida, yeah

Lo miraba de la misma forma que antes me veía

Ya entendí que esta guerra la tengo perdida

Porque el amor de mi vida

Me dijeron por ahí que con otro está haciendo su vida, yeah

Si les digo que quiero que sea feliz, mentiría

Conclusión: a ella le tengo amor y a ese le tengo envidia

Conclusión: a ella le tengo amor y a ese le tengo envidia
