[English]

I have a special place for you in my mind

My heart doesn't even know what it's feeling anymore

My homies ask why you left

And how we were always happy when we were partying

When I look at the moon, it says: "how sad"

Cupid, my boy, look at what you've done

You broke the agreement we had

I gave my all, but you didn't feel the same

One arrow was missing; you only hit me

I was head over heels, honestly, it's so sad

I gave up my wild ways to be with you

You should see how stupid I feel right now

I found someone better, avoiding love

Just to have a good time

Now it's just madness caused by love

Without you, I feel like shit

It's no longer just one girl, now there are two

And the third one, I put on all fours

My life has changed, I'm a tough guy now

Though I've always been a heavy smoker

Though I've always been a heavy smoker

...

Damn money was what you chose

I didn't have millions, but I really loved you

You played me like it was a Disney movie

But I won't get depressed, because life goes on

One arrow was missing; you only hit me

I was head over heels, honestly, it's so sad

I gave up my wild ways to be with you

You should see how stupid I feel right now

I found someone better, avoiding love

Just to have a good time

Now it's just madness caused by love

Without you, I feel like shit

It's no longer just one girl, now there are two

And the third one, I put on all fours

My life has changed, I'm a tough guy now

Though I've always been a heavy smoker

Though I've always been a heavy smoker

...

[Spanish]

Te tengo un lugar especial en mi mente

Mi cora ya no sabe ni lo que siente

Mis compas preguntan por qué tú te fuiste

Y siempre en la peda andábamos felices

Si miro la luna, ella dice: "qué triste"

Cupido, mi niño, mira lo que hiciste

Rompiste el acuerdo que habíamos tenido

Yo daba mi todo" y no sentía lo mismo

Faltaba una flecha, solo a mí me diste

Yo estaba enculado, la neta, qué triste

Dejé la vagancia por andar contigo

Vieras qué pendejo me siento ahora mismo

Me busqué alguien mejor, evitando el amor

Para pasar bonito el rato

Ahora es un loquerón causado por amor

Sin ti yo me siento al chingazo

Ya no es una perra, ahora se montan dos

A la tercera pongo en cuatro

Mi vida ha cambiado, soy un belicón

Aunque desde siempre fui bien marihuano

Aunque desde siempre fui bien marihuano

Maldito dinero fue el que tú elegiste

No tenía millones, pero sí te quise

Jugaste conmigo, ni que fuera Disney

Pero no me agüito, pues la vida sigue

Faltaba una flecha, solo a mí me diste

Yo estaba enculado, la neta, qué triste

Dejé la vagancia por andar contigo

Vieras qué pendejo me siento ahora mismo

Me busqué alguien mejor, evitando el amor

Para pasar bonito el rato

Ahora es un loquerón causado por amor

Sin ti yo me siento al chingazo

Ya no es una perra, ahora se montan dos

A la tercera pongo en cuatro

Mi vida ha cambiado, soy un belicón

Aunque desde siempre fui bien marihuano

Aunque desde siempre fui bien marihuano
