[Español]

[English]

Tú sabes que naciste pa' a mí

You know you were born for me

Sí, sí, sí

Yes, yes, yes

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah

Maluma, baby

Maluma, baby

Uf

Uf

Dice que no me ama, que ahora me tiene odio

She says she doesn't love me, - that now she hates me

Pero la llamo y me responde

But I call her and she answers

Todavía lo hace conmigo

She still does it with me

I love you, baby

I love you, baby

Dice que no y todavía le duele si la ignoro

She says no and still - it hurts her if I ignore her

Que vo' a llevar a otra a mi cama

That I'm going to take - someone else to my bed

Terminamos siendo enemigos

We end up being enemies

Dímelo, Chencho

Tell me, Chencho

No he encontrado la manera

I haven't found a way

De negarme a un beso

To refuse a kiss

No, no, no

No, no, no

Nos odiamos hasta amarnos

We hate each other until we love each other

¿Quién entiende eso?

Who understands that?

Casi siempre discutimos Sin ningún motivo

We almost always argue - for no reason

Cuando venimos a darnos cuenta

When we come to realize

Nos estamos comiendo vivos

We're eating each other alive

Quedamos que la última vez

We agreed that the last time

Era la última vez

Was the last time

Y lleva 25 en el último mes

And it's been 25 in the last month

Esto es de nunca parar y de darle replay

This is never-ending - and on replay

Tiene más temporadas que "La Casa de Papel"

It has more seasons - than "Money Heist"

Después de un brinky se pone nasty

After a - little fight, it gets nasty

Yo soy el Teddy y ella mi Lassie

I'm the Teddy and she's my Lassie

Se pone weary

She gets weary

Aunque no es easy

Even though it's not easy

Y como Messi

And like Messi

Meterla es bien fácil

Scoring is really easy

En la búsqueda perdí

In the search, I lost

Por eso, vuelvo hacia ti

That's why I come back to you

Mami, ¿no te pasa?

Baby, doesn't it happen to you?

Mami, ¿quieres probar más de mí?

Baby, do you want to try more of me?

El día que te conocí

The day I met you

Ese día te lo metí

That day I got with you

Hicimos un pacto sin ruptura

We made a pact without breaking

Que no tendrá fin

That will have no end

No he encontrado la manera

I haven't found a way

De negarme a un beso

To refuse a kiss

No, no, no

No, no, no

Nos odiamos hasta amarnos

We hate each other until we love each other

¿Quién entiende eso?

Who understands that?

Casi siempre discutimos

We almost always argue

Sin ningún motivo

For no reason

Cuando venimos a darnos cuenta

When we come to realize

Nos estamos comiendo vivos

We're eating each other alive

¿Y qué hay de despertar

And what about waking up

Y tenerme a su lado como el oficial?

And having me by her side - like the official?

Cuando siente que me tiene

When she feels she has me

Se pone a pelear

She starts to fight

Dice cosas que me ponen a mí a maquinar

She says things that make me - think

Que ni la quiero yo llamar

That I don't even want to call her

Aunque a veces se siente bien

Even though sometimes it feels good

A veces se siente mal

Sometimes it feels bad

Pero siempre que la busco

But every time I look for her

Ella se suele montar

She usually gets on top

Dice que es la última vez

She says it's the last time

Que se quiere alejar

That she wants to distance herself

Pero se contradice

But she contradicts herself

Antes de irse, pide más

Before leaving, she asks for more

Dice que no me ama,

She says she doesn't love me,

que ahora me tiene odio

that now she hates me

Pero la llamo y me responde

But I call her and she answers

Todavía lo hace conmigo

She still does it with me

Yo, yo, yo

I, I, I

Dice que no y todavía le duele si la ignoro

She says no and still - it hurts her if I ignore her

Que vo' a llevar a otra a mi cama

A little dance there, for - all the beautiful ladies

Grammar:

• Tú sabes que naciste pa' a mí

  ➔ Prepositional phrase with personal 'a'

  ➔ The use of 'a' before 'mí' (me) is the personal 'a' which is required when the direct object is a person or something personified. Here, it implies 'You were born for *me*'.

• Dice que no me ama, que ahora me tiene odio

  ➔ Indirect Speech (reported speech)

  ➔ This line uses the verb 'dice' (says) to introduce what someone is saying. 'Que' introduces the indirect speech clause.

• Todavía lo hace conmigo

  ➔ Pronoun replacement with 'lo'

  ➔ 'Lo' replaces a previously mentioned masculine noun or concept. In this context, it probably refers to the action of 'hacerlo' (doing it/having sex) mentioned earlier.

• Que vo' a llevar a otra a mi cama

  ➔ Future tense with 'ir a' (informal)

  ➔ 'Vo' a llevar' is a shortened, informal version of 'Voy a llevar' (I am going to take). 'Ir a + infinitive' is used to express the near future.

• No he encontrado la manera De negarme a un beso

  ➔ Present Perfect with 'haber' + past participle, Preposition 'a' with infinitive

  ➔ 'No he encontrado' is present perfect, expressing an action completed at an unspecified time in the past. 'De negarme a un beso' uses the preposition 'a' to connect the noun 'manera' (way) to the infinitive verb 'negarme' (to deny myself), showing purpose or manner. 'Negarme a' means 'to deny myself *to* something'.

• Cuando venimos a darnos cuenta Nos estamos comiendo vivos

  ➔ Reflexive verbs ('darnos cuenta'), Periphrastic verb construction ('estar + gerund')

  ➔ 'Darnos cuenta' is a reflexive verb meaning 'to realize'. 'Estamos comiendo' uses the 'estar + gerund' construction to express an action in progress: 'we are eating'. 'Vivos' modifies the verb, meaning 'alive'.

• Y lleva 25 en el último mes

  ➔ Verb 'llevar' to indicate time elapsed or accumulation

  ➔ Here, 'lleva' means 'it has been' or 'it amounts to'. It describes the number of times something has happened in a specified time frame (the last month).

• Después de un brinky se pone nasty

  ➔ Reflexive verb 'ponerse' + adjective

  ➔ 'Se pone nasty' means 'she gets nasty'. The reflexive verb 'ponerse' + an adjective describes a change in state or condition.
