[English]

I live a lie

I need you

I don't forget you

I live a lie

I feel like you're not there when I need you

I walk the streets drunk and I don't see you

A thousand hours pass and I don't forget you

I live a lie

I feel like you're not there when I need you

I walk the streets drunk and I don't see you

A thousand hours pass and I don't forget you

I live a lie

And that she loves me but doesn't look at me

I'm spending my life away, I live a lie

Lost without seeing the way out

The wound keeps bleeding me dry

Like an illusion, I believe she's still by my side

And I brought her all the spring flowers

She says she left, but love recovers

I'm still here ready for you, but I know that

I live a lie

And I called you, but you didn't answer

You go with someone else

But I know you'd die for me

You swore to me you weren't with anyone

Tell me, don't lie to me, or I won't take you to the dance

She drives me crazy just by looking at her eyes

And I brought a towel, because with her she makes me melt

My body marked by her red-painted lips

You want to compare me to them, but that's weak

But I live a lie

I feel like you're not there when I need you

I walk the streets drunk and I don't see you

A thousand hours pass and I don't forget you

I live a lie

I feel like you're not there when I need you

I walk the streets drunk and I don't see you

A thousand hours pass and I don't forget you

The fire boy told me you didn't love me

That he noticed it when you looked at me

He advised me to leave you

I didn't listen to him and now you're making a fool of me

Liar

Even if your cheeks are rosy

You're just a liar

Even if you have a beautiful face

We live a lie

Me, who has given everything

Who has even put my life aside

Who didn't see the lie in your eyes

Tell me where it's left, where we've left it

The promises we made for life

We said "always," we never thought "never"

And I look at you and there's no spark, and I don't like it

Spark, even if just for a second

Because of you I ended up alone

I'll have to learn, or you'll suffer again, or I'll neglect you

I said lie to me, but your body doesn't and you know it

Ask me to forget

Not to stop, go on, lie to them

Tell them there's no one like me, but in your mind

I (read) your body, I read you in braille

I live a lie

I feel like you're not there when I need you

I walk the streets drunk and I don't see you

A thousand hours pass and I don't forget you

I live a lie

I feel like you're not there when I need you

I walk the streets drunk and I don't see you

A thousand hours pass and I don't forget you, ah

I'm still lost on the street with my crew

Completely drunk, speaking gibberish

When you leave, I can't even breathe, you're my air

To put up with all that crap, you might as well kill me

All of them text me on Whatsapp

But they don't interest me anymore (They don't interest me)

I have the ace up my sleeve

But there's nothing on the table

With a broken heart from false promises

You are my fire, my constant worry

I need your kisses to cure my craving

You're my drug, I'm your junkie

I was left with nothing and I had everything

Dark circles under my eyes just for you

I live a lie

I feel like you're not there when I need you

I walk the streets drunk and I don't see you

A thousand hours pass and I don't forget you

I live a lie

I feel like you're not there when I need you

I walk the streets drunk and I don't see you

A thousand hours pass and I don't forget you, oh

[Spanish]

Yo vivo una mentira

Te necesito

Yo no te olvido

Yo vivo una mentira

Siento que no estás cuando yo te necesito

Ando por la calle borracho y no te veo

Pasan mil horas y yo no te olvido

Yo vivo una mentira

Siento que no estás cuando yo lo necesito

Ando por la calle borracho y no te veo

Pasan mil horas y yo no te olvido

Vivo una mentira

Y de que me quiere y no me mira

Voy gastándome la vida, vivo una mentira

Perdido sin ver la salida

Sigue desangrándome la herida

Como una ilusión, me creo que siga a mi vera

Y le llevé todas las flores de la primavera

Dice que se fue, pero el amor se recupera

Yo sigo aquí puesto pa' ti, pero sé que

Yo vivo una mentira

Y yo a ti te llamaba, pero tú no lo cogías

Tú te vas con otro

Pero yo sé que por mí morías

Me juro que tú no estuviste con nadie

Dime, no me mientas, o no te llevo al baile

Ella me enloquece con tan solo ver sus ojos

Y tráje una toalla, porque con ella me mojo

Mi cuerpo marcó de sus labios pinta'os de rojo

Quieres compararme con ellos, pero 'tá flojo

Pero yo vivo una mentira

Siento que no estás cuando yo te necesito

Ando por la calle borracho y no te veo

Pasan mil horas y yo no te olvido

Yo vivo una mentira

Siento que no estás cuando yo te necesito

Ando por la calle borracho y no te veo

Pasan mil horas y yo no te olvido

El chico de fuego me dijo que no me amabas

Que te lo notó cuando me mirabas

Él me aconsejó que yo te dejara

No le hice caso y ahora me pintas la cara

Mentirosa

Aunque tengas las mejillas rosas

Solo eres una mentirosa

Aunque tengas una cara hermosa

Vivimos una mentira

Yo que he dado todo

Que he dejado hasta mi vida de la'o

Que no miraba de tus ojos la mentira

Dime dónde queda, dónde lo hemos deja'o

Las promesas que dijimos de por vida

Nos dijimos siempre, nunca pensamos nunca

Y te miro y no se prende, sin dios y no me gusta

Prende aunque sea por dos tirar

Por ti ya acabé solo

Tendré que aprender o vuelves a sufrir o te descuido

Dije miénteme, pero tu cuerpo no y los sabes

Pídeme que olvide

No que pare, dale miéntele

Dile como no hay nadie, pero en tu mente

Yo tu cuerpo, yo te leo en braile

Yo vivo una mentira

Siento que no estás cuando yo te necesito

Ando por la calle borracho y no te veo

Pasan mil horas y yo no te olvido

Yo vivo una mentira

Siento que no estás cuando yo te necesito

Ando por la calle borracho y no te veo

Pasan mil horas y yo no te olvido, ah

Sigo perdido por la calle con mis tigers

Todo borracho hablando en árabe

Cuando te vas ya ni respiro, eres mi aire

Pa'hacer todas esas mierdas mejor mátame

Todas me tiran al Whatsapp

Pero ya no me interesan (No me interesan)

Tengo el as en la manga

Pero no hay na' en la mesa

Con el corazón partido de falsas promesas

Eres mi fuego, mi quebradero de cabeza

Necesito tus besos pa' curar el mono

Eres mi droga, soy tu yonkie

Yo me quedé sin nada y lo tenía todo

Ojeras tatuadas solo por ti

Yo vivo una mentira

Siento que no estás cuando yote necesito

Ando por la calle borracho y no te veo

Pasan mil horas y yo no te olvido

Yo vivo una mentira

Siento que no estás cuando yo lo necesito

Ando por la calle borracho y no te veo

Pasan mil horas y yo no te olvido, oh

Key Grammar Structures

• El chico de fuego me dijo que no me amabas

  ➔ Reported Speech, Imperfect Tense

  ➔ This sentence uses "reported speech" (or indirect speech) to convey what someone else said. The verb "dijo" (said) is in the preterite, and the verb "amabas" (you loved) is in the "imperfect tense" because it describes a past state or continuous action that was true at the time of the reported statement.

• Me juro que tú no estuviste con nadie

  ➔ Preterite Tense, Negative Indefinite Pronoun

  ➔ The verb "juro" (swore) is in the preterite tense, indicating a completed action in the past. The phrase "no estuviste con nadie" uses the negative indefinite pronoun "nadie" (no one/nobody) which requires the preceding negation "no" in Spanish.

• Dime, no me mientas, o no te llevo al baile

  ➔ Affirmative and Negative Imperative, Consequence Clause

  ➔ "Dime" is an "affirmative imperative" (tell me). "no me mientas" is a "negative imperative" (don't lie to me), which uses the present subjunctive form. The "o no te llevo al baile" clause expresses a consequence, similar to an "if...then" structure.

• Quieres compararme con ellos, pero 'tá flojo

  ➔ Verb + Infinitive, Object Pronoun Placement, Colloquial Contraction

  ➔ "compararme" is an "infinitive" with the "direct object pronoun" "me" attached to the end, a common placement after conjugated verbs like "quieres". "'tá" is a common "colloquial contraction" for "está" (from estar).

• Aunque tengas las mejillas rosas

  ➔ Subjunctive after "Aunque" (Concession)

  ➔ "Aunque" (even though/although) is followed by the "present subjunctive" "tengas" when expressing a concession or an idea that is known or accepted. It implies "despite the fact that you have rosy cheeks."

• Yo que he dado todo, que he dejado hasta mi vida de la'o

  ➔ Relative Clause "Yo que", Present Perfect, Colloquialism

  ➔ The phrase "Yo que" functions as a "relative clause" where "que" refers back to "Yo" (I who...). "he dado" and "he dejado" are examples of the "present perfect tense", indicating actions completed in the past with relevance to the present. "de la'o" is a "colloquial contraction" of "de lado" (aside/to the side).

• Dime dónde queda, dónde lo hemos deja'o

  ➔ Indirect Question, Present Perfect, Colloquialism

  ➔ "dónde queda" and "dónde lo hemos deja'o" are "indirect questions", embedded within the main clause and not requiring question marks. "hemos deja'o" is the "present perfect tense" ("hemos dejado") in a colloquial form, referring to an action completed with present relevance.

• Las promesas que dijimos de por vida

  ➔ Relative Clause, Idiomatic Expression

  ➔ "que dijimos" is a "relative clause" modifying "Las promesas" (the promises that we said/made). "de por vida" is an "idiomatic expression" meaning "for life" or "lifelong".

• Prende aunque sea por dos tirar

  ➔ Subjunctive with "aunque sea", Infinitive as Noun/Concept

  ➔ "aunque sea" (even if it is/even if it were) uses the "present subjunctive" "sea" to express a concession or a hypothetical situation. "tirar" (to throw) is used here as a "noun or concept" (like "to have a few drinks" or "to hang out for a bit"), which is common for infinitives in Spanish in certain contexts.
