[English]

My buddies at the party

They don't believe I could ever forget you

And I feel like they're right

I think I believe them

You're acting like it's nothing

Apparently, you're already used to it

That you don't even remember me anymore

That you even took my sense of humor with you

No

There's nothing left

But to accept

That you're no longer in my life

Waiter, please, bring another bottle

To see if this one finally makes me forget her

A ton of girls have known my bed

And, absurdly, I don't even know their names

What a heavy price you left them to pay

Poor things, I left them pretty broken

Now that I'm wasted, I feel like going for the moon

But there's only one, and you know damn well it's yours, baby

...

And truly, even if it hurts

No one will ever love you like I do

And of that, I am sure

My love, I swear to you

That's why I'm a drunk

Before you, I was actually a good guy

Tell me what you've done to me

My heart is shattered

Waiter, please, bring another bottle

To see if this one finally makes me forget her

A ton of girls have known my bed

And, absurdly, I don't even know their names

What a heavy price you left them to pay

Poor things, I left them pretty broken

Now that I'm wasted, I feel like going for the moon

But there's only one, and you know damn well it's yours, baby

...

[Spanish]

Mis compas en la peda

Ellos no creen que olvidarte pueda

Y siento que sí es cierto

Creo que les creo

Tú estás como si nada

Según ya tú estás acostumbrada

Que ya ni me recuerdas

Que hasta mi humor te llevas

No

Queda más

Que aceptar

Que en mi vida ya no estás

Mesero, porfa, traiga otra botella

Pa ver si en esta ya me olvido de ella

Chingo de viejas conocen mi cama

Y, absurdo, no sé ni cómo se llaman

Qué factura lеs dejaste, tan cara

Pobrecitas, las dеjé bien dañadas

Ya pedo me entró la de ir por la luna

Pero solo hay una y bien sabes que es tuya, bebé

Y en verdad, aunque duela

Que te ame como yo, no habrá quien pueda

Y de eso estoy seguro

Mi amor, yo te lo juro

Por eso soy borracho

Antes de ti yo sí era buen muchacho

Dime lo que me has hecho

Mi cora está deshecho

Mesero, porfa, traiga otra botella

Pa ver si en esta ya me olvido de ella

Chingo de viejas conocen mi cama

Y, absurdo, no sé ni cómo se llaman

Qué factura lеs dejaste, tan cara

Pobrecitas, las dеjé bien dañadas

Ya pedo me entró la de ir por la luna

Pero solo hay una y bien sabes que es tuya, bebé
