Lyrics:

[Español]

[English]

Soleil

Sun

Tú me estás dando mala vida

You're giving me a hard time

Yo pronto me voy a escapar

I'm going to escape soon

Gitana mía por lo menos date cuenta

My gypsy, at least realize it

Gitana mía, por favor, no me dejas ni respirar

My gypsy, please, you don't even let me breathe

Tú me estás dando mala vida

You're giving me a hard time

Cada día se la traga mi corazón

My heart swallows it every day

Dime tú por qué te trato yo tan bien

Tell me why I treat you so well

Cuando tú me hablas como a un cabrón

When you talk to me like a jerk

Gitana mía, mi corazón está sufriendo

My gypsy, my heart is suffering

Gitana mía, por favor, sufriendo mal nutrición

My gypsy, please, suffering malnutrition

Me estás dando, me estás dando mala vida

You're giving me, you're giving me a hard time

Cada día se la traga mi corazón

My heart swallows it every day

Dime tú porque te trato yo tan bien

Tell me why I treat you so well

Cuando tú me hablas como a un cabrón

When you talk to me like a jerk

Me estás dando, me estás dando (Sí)

You're giving me, you're giving me (Yes)
