[English]

Buddy Lenin

Go ahead, my buddy Edwin, and straight Grupo Firme, old man

And go ahead, steel yourself too, old man

But go ahead (tequila in the glasses, old man)

Cheers, dad (cheers, buddy, he took it)

...

Me with a lemon and salt

...

Let's say

"I believe you

That you regret"

But it's different

From being forgiven

I'll be a good person, but not your fool

I won't let myself

And I know you'll want to

Kiss my mouth once again

But because of you

Do you know when that's going to happen?

In your damn life

You’ll never sleep with me again

Anywhere I look, I find someone like you

Find someone else just like you

That really will be tough

In your damn life

Will you ever speak to me again?

People who are fake really get on my nerves

Don’t start crying

Stop with the foolishness

You've already lost me, it's best if you leave

Haha, yeah

That’s how it sounds, my buddy Lenin Ramírez

And straight Grupo Firme, old man

Oh, little one, I no longer want you

Cheers (cheers, old man)

Said the sick one (cheers!)

...

In your damn life

You’ll never sleep with me again

Anywhere I look, I find someone like you

Find someone else just like you

That really will be tough

In your damn life

Will you ever speak to me again?

People who are fake really get on my nerves

Don’t start crying

Stop with the foolishness

You've already lost me, it's best if you leave

And what about her, old man?

Well, take this one, old man (here you go, his buddy Israel, his buddy Ángel)

Compa Lenin

Échele mi compa Edwin, y puro Grupo Firme, viejo

Y échele de acero usted también, viejo

Pero échele (tequila a los vasos, viejo)

Salucita, padre (salucita, compadre, se lo tomó)

Yo con limoncito y sal

Digamos

"Que te creo

Que te arrepientes"

Pero es diferente

A que te perdone

Seré buena gente, pero no tu pendejo

Yo no me dejo

Y yo sé que te van a dar ganas de

Besar mi boca una vez más

Pero por tu culpa

¿Sabes cuando va a pasar?

En tu perra vida

Vuelves a dormir conmigo

Yo en cualquier esquina me hallo una de tu tipo

Tú que encuentres otro igual

Eso sí va a estar canijo

En tu perra vida

Me dirijas la palabra

Me caen en la punta las personas que son falsas

No te pongas a llorar

Déjate de payasadas

Tú ya me perdiste, lo mejor es que te vayas

Ja, jay

Así suena, mi compa Lenin Ramírez

Y puro Grupo Firme, viejo

Ay, chiquitita, ya no la quiero

Salud (salud, viejón)

Dijo el enfermo (¡fondo!)

En tu perra vida

Vuelves a dormir conmigo

Yo en cualquier esquina me hallo una de tu tipo

Tú que encuentres otro igual

Eso sí va a estar canijo

En tu perra vida

Me dirijas la palabra

Me caen en la punta las personas que son falsas

No te pongas a llorar

Déjate de payasadas

Tú ya me perdiste, lo mejor es que te vayas

¿Y la suya, viejo?

Pues tómese esta, viejo (ahí le va, compa Israel, compa Ángel)

• Yo con limoncito y sal

  ➔ Use of 'yo' as the subject pronoun and noun phrases describing personal preferences.

  ➔ 'Yo' is the Spanish first-person singular pronoun, and 'con limoncito y sal' describes what the speaker prefers to have.

• No te pongas a llorar

  ➔ Imperative form of 'ponerse' + reflexive pronoun 'te' plus 'a llorar' to tell someone not to start crying.
