[English]

I took seven pills to go to sleep[2]

Everyone says: "Nathy, what's wrong with you?"[2]

Hungover face and I have to go out[2]

With the paparazzi at my doorstep[2]

Stop overthinking[2]

It can't be that serious[2]

I have to get used to it[2]

Because when you see it[2]

Up close, it loses its beauty[2]

I'm missing a corner to lose my mind completely[2]

The name my mom gave me, I turned it into a business[2]

Didn't do it to sell it, just to make it[2]

Legendary[2]

I take a shot and kiss my rosary[2]

When I get to what everyone likes to call power[2]

I'm going to disappear[2]

And even if they don't want to see it[2]

They're going to see me do it[2]

Legendary[2]

I take a shot and kiss my rosary[2]

When I get to what everyone likes to call power[2]

I'm going to disappear[2]

Legendary[2]

A universal face[2]

They heard me when I had no makeup[2]

National coverage[2]

With all those lies, I'm going to make myself a suit[2]

They didn't bet on me and I qualified[2]

You turned your back when I called, and now what?[2]

They gave me the ride and I drifted it[2]

I won a Grammy with R-A-P[2]

There's a price I pay[2]

From here, you can see a lot of altitude[2]

I have almost nothing left to lose[2]

And if I lose it, it'll be by doing it[2]

Legendary[2]

I take a shot and kiss my rosary[2]

When I get to what everyone likes to call power[2]

I'm going to disappear[2]

And even if they don't want to see it[2]

They're going to see me do it[2]

Legendary[2]

I take a shot and kiss my rosary[2]

When I get to what everyone likes to call power[2]

I'm going to disappear[2]

Legendary[2]

There is no time for love[1]

There is no time for love[1]

There is no time for love[1]

There is no time for love[1]

[Spanish]

Me tomé siete pastillas para ir a dormir

Todo el mundo dice: "Nathy, ¿qué te pasa?"

Cara de resaca y tengo que salir

Con los paparazzi en la puerta de mi casa

Déjate de maquinar

No debe de ser tan grave

Me tengo que acostumbrar

Porque cuando lo ves

De cerca va perdiendo la belleza

Me falta una esquina pa acabar de la cabeza

El nombre que me dio mamá lo convertí en empresa

No lo hice para venderlo, solo para hacerlo

Legendario

Me doy un shot y le doy un beso a mi rosario

Cuando llegue a lo que todos suelen llamar poder

Voy a desaparecer

Y aunque no quieran verlo

Me van a ver hacerlo

Legendario

Me doy un shot y le doy un beso a mi rosario

Cuando llegue a lo que todos suelen llamar poder

Voy a desaparecer

Legendario

Una cara universal

Me escucharon cuando no tenía maquillaje

Cobertura nacional

Con toda esa mentira me voy a hacer un traje

No apostaban y clasifiqué

Me girabas cuando te llamaba, ¿y ahora qué?

Me dieron la nave y la derrapé

Me gané un Grammy con el R-A-P

Me pasa factura

Desde aquí se ve mucha altura

No me queda casi nada que perder

Y si lo pierdo, será haciéndolo

Legendario

Me doy un shot y le doy un beso a mi rosario

Cuando llegue a lo que todos suelen llamar poder

Voy a desaparecer

Y aunque no quieran verlo

Me van a ver hacerlo

Legendario

Me doy un shot y le doy un beso a mi rosario

Cuando llegue a lo que todos suelen llamar poder

Voy a desaparecer

Legendario

There is no time for love

There is no time for love

There is no time for love

There is no time for love
