[English]

Tell me, baby, if you still love me

I still feel a connection in your gaze

All those bastards turned out to be nothing but frogs for you

I'm not like him, I actually fell in love

I want to know if you feel like it

Waking up together every morning

I'm the guy you used to strip for

And I gave you goosebumps like he never could

All dressed up, I'd do anything just to have you

I want to see you and it's hard, it's not a rose‑petal path

Make you my wife and turn it into a routine

I've seen you in Fendi, looking for you on the corner

Let's start as friends, I think I'm hooked

You're bad, really bad, a child of Lucifer

With brown skin and kisses that taste like honey

We drink Moët while the sunset falls

Demon dog, all hyped up

I know your boyfriend is lagging behind

He doesn't spend them like I've spent them

He doesn't live it like I do, he's scared

Mine, I know you're going to be mine

Mine, I think about it every day

You're cold with him and you grew to hate him

Because you're going to be mine

I remember when we used to do it

You erased it from yourself and since I arrived

There's no one else but me

Tell me, baby, if you still love me

I still feel a connection in your gaze

All those bastards turned out to be nothing but frogs for you

I'm not like him, I actually fell in love

I want to know if you feel like it

Waking up together every morning

I'm the guy you used to strip for

And I gave you goosebumps like he never could

[Spanish]

Dime, bebé, si aún me amas

Todavía siento conexión en tu mirada

Esos cabrones todos te salieron rana

Yo no soy como él, yo sí me enamoré

Quiero saber si tienes ganas

De despertarnos juntos todas las mañanas

Yo soy el nene por el que te desnudabas

Y te erizó la piel como no lo hace él

Enchulao, por tenerte hago pila de cosas

Quiero verte y es difícil, no es camino de rosas

Hacerte mi esposa y hacerlo rutina

Te he visto de Fendi y a la busca en la esquina

Empecemos como panas, creo que me enganché

Tú eres mala pero mala, hija de Lucifer

De piel morena y sus besos saben a miel

Bebemos Moët mientras cae el atardecer

Perro demonio, enpiketao

Sé que tu novio está atrasao'

Él no las gasta como este las ha gastao'

Ni se la vive como yo, anda asustao'

Mía, sé que vas a ser mía

Mía, lo pienso todos los días

Con él estás fría y le cogiste manía

Porque vas a ser mía

Me acuerdo cuando lo hacíamos

Lo borraste de tu ser y desde que llegué

No existe otro que no sea yo

Dime, bebé, si aún me amas

Todavía siento conexión en tu mirada

Esos cabrones todos te salieron rana

Yo no soy como él, yo sí me enamoré

Quiero saber si tienes ganas

De despertarnos juntos todas las mañanas

Yo soy el nene por el que te desnudabas

Y te erizó la piel como no lo hace él

Key Grammar Structures

• Dime, bebé, si aún me amas

  ➔ Imperative Mood (Informal 'tú' Command)

  ➔ The verb "Dime" is the informal singular imperative form of "decir" (to say/tell), combined with the indirect object pronoun "me" (to me) attached to the end. It's used to give a direct command or make a request.

• Esos cabrones todos te salieron rana

  ➔ Idiomatic Expression 'Salir rana' + Preterite Tense

  ➔ "Salir rana" is an idiomatic expression meaning something turned out badly, failed, or disappointed expectations. Here, it's used with the indirect object pronoun "te" (to you) in the preterite tense ("salieron") to indicate that "those guys" turned out to be a disappointment *for you*.

• Yo sí me enamoré

  ➔ Emphatic 'Sí'

  ➔ The word "sí" is used here to add emphasis to the affirmative statement, often in contrast to a previous negative statement or an assumed doubt. It strengthens the assertion that "I *did* fall in love."

• De despertarnos juntos todas las mañanas

  ➔ Reflexive Verb with Attached Pronoun + Preposition 'De' + Infinitive

  ➔ "Despertarnos" is a reflexive verb ("despertarse" - to wake up oneself) in the infinitive form, with the reflexive pronoun "nos" (ourselves) attached. It follows the preposition "de", forming a common structure "preposition + infinitive".

• Yo soy el nene por el que te desnudabas

  ➔ Imperfect Tense + Compound Relative Pronoun

  ➔ "Desnudabas" is in the imperfect tense, indicating a habitual or continuous action in the past ("you used to undress"). "Por el que" is a compound relative pronoun meaning "for whom" or "because of whom," referring back to "el nene."

• Te he visto de Fendi

  ➔ Present Perfect Tense

  ➔ "He visto" is the present perfect tense of "ver" (to see), formed with the auxiliary verb "haber" in the present tense ("he") and the past participle ("visto"). It describes an action that happened at an unspecified time in the past but has relevance to the present.

• Empecemos como panas

  ➔ Subjunctive Imperative (Nosotros Command)

  ➔ "Empecemos" is the first-person plural (nosotros) command form of "empezar" (to start), which uses the present subjunctive mood. It's used to propose or suggest an action to a group including the speaker, equivalent to "Let's start."

• Sé que vas a ser mía

  ➔ Periphrastic Future (Ir a + Infinitive)

  ➔ "Vas a ser" uses the construction "ir a + infinitive" (in this case, "ser" - to be). This is a common way to express future actions or intentions in Spanish, often implying a more immediate or certain future than the simple future tense.

• Le cogiste manía

  ➔ Indirect Object Pronoun 'Le' + Idiomatic Expression 'Coger manía a'

  ➔ "Le" is an indirect object pronoun meaning "to him/her/it/them" or "for him/her/it/them." It precedes the verb "cogiste" (preterite of "coger"). "Coger manía a alguien/algo" is an idiom meaning "to take a dislike to someone/something" or "to develop an aversion to."

• No existe otro que no sea yo

  ➔ Subjunctive Mood in Negative Relative Clauses

  ➔ "Sea" is the present subjunctive form of "ser" (to be). It's used here because the main clause ("No existe otro...") expresses negation or non-existence, which triggers the subjunctive in the dependent relative clause ("que no sea yo") to convey uncertainty or a hypothetical situation.
