- HAWAII - Maluma

...

Stop lying to yourself

...

The photo you uploaded with him

Saying he was your heaven

Baby, I know you so well

I know it was to make me jealous

I won't tell you who, but

They saw you crying for me

They saw you for me

Let me tell you

I can see that he treats you well

That he's quite the gentleman

...

But that won't change the fact

That I came first

I know you'll do well, but

He doesn't love you like I love you

...

Maybe you don't need anything

Apparently, nothing

Hawaii on vacation

My congratulations

Very nice what you post on Instagram

For me to see

How you're doing, for me to see

Maybe you don't need anything

Apparently, nothing

Hawaii on vacation

My congratulations

Very nice what you post on Instagram

For me to see

How well you're doing but you're hurting yourself

Because love can't be bought with anything

Lie to all your followers

Tell them

That these times now are better

I don't think

That when I call you, you'll ignore me

If after me there will be no more loves

You and I were one

We did it on an empty stomach before breakfast

We smoked hookah and I passed you the smoke

And now we're at war no one wins

If you ask me

Nobody's to blame

Sometimes problems pile up on you

Let me talk, please don't interrupt me

If I did something bad to you, then forgive me

People are going to believe you

You play that role well

Baby

But you're not happy with him

Maybe you don't need anything

Apparently, nothing

Hawaii on vacation

My congratulations

Very nice what you post on Instagram

For me to see

How you're doing, for me to see

Maybe you don't need anything

Apparently, nothing

Hawaii on vacation

My congratulations

Very nice what you post on Instagram

For me to see

How well you're doing but you're hurting yourself

Because love can't be bought with anything

Stop lying to yourself

...

The photo you uploaded with him

Saying he was your heaven

Baby, I know you so well

I know it was to make me jealous

I won't tell you who, but

They saw you crying for me

They saw you for me

Key Grammar Structures

• Deja de *mentirte*

  ➔ Infinitive after a preposition.

  ➔ The phrase "deja de" is followed by an infinitive ("mentirte"). This construction means "stop" or "quit" doing something.

• Sé que *fue pa'* darme celos

  ➔ Shortened form of "para" (pa') and purpose clause introduced by "para".

  ➔ "Pa'" is a colloquial shortening of "para". "Para darme celos" expresses the purpose: to make me jealous. It illustrates informal speech patterns.

• Puede que no te *haga falta na'*

  ➔ Subjunctive mood with "puede que" + indefinite pronoun "na'" (nada).

  ➔ "Puede que" expresses uncertainty and requires the subjunctive mood ("haga"). "Na'" is a colloquial short version of "nada," meaning "nothing." The whole phrase conveys that you might not need anything.

• Muy lindo en Instagram lo que *posteas*

  ➔ Relative pronoun "lo que" referring to an abstract concept.

  ➔ "Lo que posteas" refers to *the things* you post, an abstract concept, rather than a specific noun. "Lo que" translates to "what" in this context.

• Por que el amor no se *compra* con na'

  ➔ Passive voice with "se" (se compra) and shortened "nada" (na').

  ➔ "Se compra" is a passive construction meaning "is bought" or "can be bought." It highlights that love cannot be acquired through material means. "Na'" is another instance of the shortened "nada."

• Miéntele a todos tus *seguidores*

  ➔ Imperative verb form (miéntele) and object pronouns (le).

  ➔ "Miéntele" is the imperative form of "mentir" (to lie) combined with the indirect object pronoun "le" referring to "todos tus seguidores". It means "Lie to all your followers".

• Si después de mí ya no *habrán* más amores

  ➔ Future subjunctive conditional clause using "habrá" in the future perfect.

  ➔ The use of "habrán" (future subjunctive, though it often sounds like the future indicative in speech) creates a hypothetical scenario. It suggests that *if* there are no more loves after me. In formal Spanish, the subjunctive is required here.
