[English]

He didn’t believe in love — and now believes in it even less because of her.

He says goodbye, removes her “poison,” and moves on from the damage she caused.

Creo meno'

He gave her everything, but she betrayed him and broke his heart.

Ya me saqué tu veneno

Tu veneno

Y yo te lo di todo (oh-oh)

He says that’s not something you do, and he doesn’t want to make peace — he’s already let go.

Me chingaste a mí y a mí corazón (oh-oh)

Y eso no se hace (eh-eh-eh)

No me hable' de hacer la' pace' (eh-eh-eh)

He’s cried all he had to cry and doesn’t even want to talk to her anymore.

Lloré lo que iba a llorar

Contigo no quiero ni hablar

Now he just spends his nights dancing hard and partying wild, completely carefree.

Lloré lo que iba a llorar

Contigo no quiero ni hablar

Si ahora me la paso perreando

(bien loco, bien loco y bien suelto)

Me la paso perreando

(bien borracho, arrebata'o)

He repeats that he’s out partying, drinking, and having fun with no regrets.

(tra-tra, tra-tra, tra-tra)

Me la paso perreando

(para-baba, para-baba, para-baba-bai-bow)

He calls her “bad,” says he threw her out of his life and even deleted her number.

Y hasta tu número borré

He won’t answer her calls because tonight is for partying.

Hoy la noche es pa' perrear

He doesn’t think about her anymore — he’s out hooking up and enjoying the moment.

Me la paso perreando y bajando pantie'

Anoche tu amiga estaba en el VIP

He even mentions being with her friend at the club, bragging that he’s moved on.

He tells anyone who sees his ex to tell her not to call him again—he’s done and unbothered.

Díganle que no me llame'

Ya supe y que me lo mame

Y si ven a mi ex

Díganle que no me llame'

Ya supe y que me lo mame

Si ven a mi ex

Díganle que no me llame'

Ya supe y que me lo mame

He keeps repeating that message with attitude, tauntingly.

Díganle que no me llame'

Ya supe y que me lo ma-

Díganle que no me llame'

Ya supe-, ya supe-

Díganle que no me llame'

Ya supe y que me lo ma-ma-ma

Que me lo ma-, que me lo ma-

Que me lo mame

In the end, he shouts out the DJ and closes with the same chorus: he no longer believes in love and has removed her poison from his life.

Jodi'o cabrón

Yo no creía en el amor, (oh-oh-oh)

Y ahora por ti creo menos, creo meno'

Por eso te dije adió'

Ya me saqué tu veneno

Tu veneno

Y tú me pagaste con traición

Me chingaste a mí y a mí corazón (oh-oh)

Y eso no se hace (eh-eh-eh)

No me hable' de hacer la' pace' (eh-eh-eh)

Si ya yo te olvidé

Lloré lo que iba a llorar

Contigo no quiero ni hablar

Si ya yo te olvidé

Lloré lo que iba a llorar

Contigo no quiero ni hablar

Si ahora me la paso perreando

(bien loco, bien loco y bien suelto)

Así que no me llame' que no vo' a contestar

Ya no pienso en ti, ya no pienso en ti

Me la paso perreando y bajando pantie'

Anoche tu amiga estaba en el VIP

¿Y adivina qué? Sí, se lo metí

Si ven a mi, si ven a mi, si-si-si-si ven a mi ex

Díganle que no me llame'

Ya supe y que me lo mame

Y si ven a mi ex

Díganle que no me llame'

Ya supe y que me lo ma-ma-ma

Que me lo ma-, que me lo ma-

Que me lo mame

Mera, dímelo, DJ Orma

Jodi'o cabrón

Yo no creía en el amor, (oh-oh-oh)

Y ahora por ti creo menos, creo meno'

Por eso te dije adió'

Ya me saqué tu veneno

Tu veneno
