[English]

She and I

...

Two crazy people living an adventure punished by God

A labyrinth with no exit where fear turns into love

We are her husband, she and I

My wife and I

Just like you we share in life an eternal love

The perfect lady, a true beauty, she is my inspiration

We are happy, she and I

She and I

Friend, she and I

We only see each other in secret to drown this forbidden passion

And even though she has an owner I only have one dream, to be her protector

We are husband, she and I

Listen Don, fight for love

Don't advise me in your position

Maybe her husband doesn't rule her heart

You don't know who's the victim in the confusion

Listen my friend, fight for love

No, don't advise me in your position

Maybe that guy doesn't rule her heart

You don't know who's the victim in this confusion

My wife and I

We are happy, two souls nuances in what love is

That's why I understand you and even if she's married, don't stay away for fear

Don't do it Don, oh no, no, no

Oh friend, she and I

We were clear that this relationship was crazy

But the flesh was calling us and the bed was making us an invitation

To just make love

Oh, I already explained it to you

When there are people who love each other, love has to win

And that the husband understands that he lost his woman

Now she is your woman

The three of you can't win

And I repeat, fight for love

Don't advise me in your position

Maybe her husband doesn't rule her heart

You don't know who's the victim in this confusion

Don't be so dumb, fight for love

No, don't advise me in your position

Maybe that guy doesn't rule her heart

You don't know who's the victim in this confusion

...

Friend, I apologize, I never failed you

...

The desire to see her again betrayed me

And although I still can't believe what

This bitter encounter made me understand

Because you also arrived at that place

Where I went to look for her so many times

And although what I'm going to do isn't easy

I will admit that I went out with your wife

I went out with your wife

What?!

I went out with your wife

I went out with your wife

I went out with your wife

May God forgive you

I'm not going to do it

I lost you both at the same time

I see that everything was a lie when she told me

That she was going to Puerto Rico on vacation with her friend

She lied to me

You and her in a bed

A flame of love

Maybe in Isla Verde or Carolina

How many hotels did she dirty

You too, I hate you both

That I

I'm the one who suffers the most with all this, the pain kills me

A betrayal

I lost a friend

Because of temptation

Forgiveness

Goodbye!

...

[Spanish]

Ella y yo

Dos locos viviendo una aventura castigada por Dios

Un laberinto sin salida en donde el miedo se convierte en amor

Somos su marido, ella y yo

Mi esposa y yo

Igual que ustedes compartimos en la vida un eterno amor

La dama perfecta, toda una belleza ella es mi inspiración

Somos feliz ella y yo

Ella y yo

Amigo ella y yo

Sólo nos vemos a escondidas para ahogar esta prohibida pasión

Y aunque tiene dueño yo sólo tengo un sueño ser su protector

Somos marido, ella y yo

Oye Don lucha por amor

No me aconsejes en tu posición

Quizás su marido no manda en su corazón

No sabes quién es víctima en la confusión

Oye mi pana lucha por amor

No, no me aconsejes en tu posición

Quizás ese tipo no manda en su corazón

Tu no sabes quién es víctima en está confusión

Mi esposa y yo

Somos felices dos almas matices en lo que es el amor

Por eso te entiendo y aunque sea casada no te alejes por temor

No lo hagas Don, ay no, no, no

Ay amigo ella y yo

Teníamos claro que era una locura esta relación

Pero la carne nos llamaba y la cama nos hacía una invitación

A sólo hacer el amor

Ay, ya te expliqué

Cuando hay personas que se aman el amor tiene que vencer

Y que el marido entienda que perdió a su hembra

Ahora es tu mujer

No pueden ganar los tres

Y te repito lucha por amor

No me aconsejes en tu posición

Quizás su marido no manda en su corazón

Tú no sabes quién es víctima en está confusión

No seas tan tonto lucha por amor

No, no me aconsejes en tu posición

Quizás ese tipo no manda en su corazón

Tú no sabes quién es víctima en está confusión

Amigo pido perdón yo nunca te fallé

Me traicionaron las ganas de volverla a ver

Y aunque todavía no puedo creer lo que

Este amargo encuentro me hizo comprender

Pues tu también llegaste a ese lugar

Donde tantas veces yo la fui a buscar

Y aunque no es fácil lo que voy a hacer

Admitiré que salí con tu mujer

Salí con tu mujer

¡¿Qué?!

Salí con tu mujer

Salí con tu mujer

Salí con tu mujer

Que te perdone Dios

Yo no lo voy a hacer

Los perdí a los dos y a la misma vez

Ya veo que todo era mentira cuando ella me decía

Que se iba pa' Puerto Rico a vacaciones con su amiga

Me mintió

Tú y ella en una cama

A llama de amor

Quizás en Isla Verde o Carolina

Cuántos hoteles ensució

Tú también, los odio a los dos

Que yo

Soy quién más sufro con todo esto, me mata el dolor

Una traición

Perdí un amigo

Por la tentación

Perdón

Adiós!

Key Grammar Structures

• Dos locos viviendo una aventura castigada por Dios

  ➔ Gerund / present participle used as a verbal noun (viviendo).

  ➔ The phrase ""viviendo"" (living) turns the verb into a noun, describing the action of the two crazy people.

• Somos su marido, ella y yo

  ➔ Pronoun + ser (first person plural) for identity; use of possessive "su".

  ➔ ""Somos"" (we are) links the subject "nosotros" with the predicate, establishing identity.

• Y aunque tiene dueño yo sólo tengo un sueño ser su protector

  ➔ Conjunction "aunque" + present indicative; infinitive clause "ser su protector".

  ➔ ""aunque"" (although) introduces a concession; the infinitive ""ser"" (to be) functions as a complement of "sueño".

• No me aconsejes en tu posición

  ➔ Negative imperative using subjunctive form "aconsejes".

  ➔ ""No me aconsejes"" (don’t advise me) uses the subjunctive "aconsejes" to give a negative command.

• Quizás su marido no manda en su corazón

  ➔ Adverb "quizás" (perhaps) followed by indicative; negation "no manda".

  ➔ ""Quizás"" (perhaps) introduces uncertainty, but the verb stays in the indicative "manda" (does not rule).

• Teníamos claro que era una locura esta relación

  ➔ Imperfect tense "teníamos" for past habitual state; subordinate clause with "que" + imperfect "era".

  ➔ ""Teníamos"" (we had) sets a past background; ""era"" (was) describes the state within that past context.

• Admitiré que salí con tu mujer

  ➔ Future simple "admitiré" + subordinate clause with preterite "salí".

  ➔ ""Admitiré"" (I will admit) indicates a future intention; the clause ""salí"" (I went out) is in the preterite, reporting a past fact.

• Que te perdone Dios

  ➔ Subjunctive present "perdone" in a wish/hope clause introduced by "que".

  ➔ ""Que"" introduces a wish; ""perdone"" (may forgive) is in the subjunctive mood.
