[English]

Oh!

And well pulled

Just like that, my old man

...

You live emphasizing my flaws day by day

Highlighting what I don't do well

Comparing me to everyone

That I should be like this one and that one

You keep patching, according to you, all my failures

Reminding me that I'm not going to learn

That I'm too far from having a woman by my side

I carry

With sadness on my back your misfortune

I believe

That we should end this on good terms

If I do you so much harm

Better leave me alone

Before the thread that remains breaks

Holding on to the little that was saved

From our love

If I do you so much harm

Why do you keep going around in circles?

And you avoid ridiculing me more

So that this can end in holy peace

Either I leave or you leave

Oh!

And well pulled

Just like that, buddy

...

I carry

With sadness on my back your misfortune

I believe

That we should end this on good terms

If I do you so much harm

Better leave me alone

Before the thread that remains breaks

Holding on to the little that was saved

From our love

If I do you so much harm

Why do you keep going around in circles?

And you avoid ridiculing me more

So that this can end in holy peace

Either I leave or you leave

Either I leave or you leave

Oh!

...

[Spanish]

¡Ay!

Y bien jalados

Así nomás, mi viejo

Vives acentuando día a día mis defectos

Resaltando lo que no me sale bien

Comparándome con todos

Que debía ser como este y como aquél

Vives remendando, según tú, todas mis fallas

Recordándome que no voy a aprender

Que me falta demasiado para tener a mi lado a una mujer

Llevo

Con tristeza en mi espalda tu desdicha

Creo

Que debemos por las buеnas terminar

Si te hago tanto mal

Mejor déjamе tranquilo

Antes que se rompa el hilo que quedó

Sosteniendo lo poco que se salvó

De nuestro amor

Si te hago tanto mal

¿Por qué le das tantas vueltas?

Y te evitas ridiculizarme más

Para que esto se termine en santa paz

O me voy o te vas

¡Ay!

Y bien jalados

Así nomás, compadre

Llevo

Con tristeza en mi espalda tu desdicha

Creo

Que debemos por las buenas terminar

Si te hago tanto mal

Mejor déjame tranquilo

Antes que se rompa el hilo que quedó

Sosteniendo lo poco que se salvó

De nuestro amor

Si te hago tanto mal

¿Por qué le das tantas vueltas?

Y te evitas ridiculizarme más

Para que esto se termine en santa paz

O me voy o te vas

O me voy o te vas

¡Ay!
