[English]

I know I'm not the same

And around my neck a chain with diamonds

From poverty, I went to save myself

Crazy, but deeply in love

It shows that I'm having a great time

Well blessed by my mother

For those eyes, I steal and kill

For the envious, I carry gadgets

Girl, don't tell me no

Because tonight I'll make love to you

For those eyes, I became a thug

You're the best, the envy of the club

Girl, don't tell me no

Because tonight I'll make love to you

...

Tough life, luxury, fame, jewels, curves

I have everything and nothing fills me

The money isn't worth anything

Ah, what a good life I lead

And if I go first

From up there, I'll watch over you, from heaven

Like no one else, I love you

For those eyes, I steal and kill

For the envious, I carry gadgets

Girl, don't tell me no

Because tonight I'll make love to you

For those eyes, I became a thug

You're the best, the envy of the club

Girl, don't tell me no

Because tonight I'll make love to you

[Spanish]

Sé que yo no soy el mismo

Y en mi cuello una cadena con diamantes

De la pobreza fui a salvarme

Loco, pero bien enamorado

Se ve que me la paso a toda madre

Bien bendecido por mi madre

Por esos ojos, yo robo y mato

Pa'l envidioso cargo aparatos

Niña, no me digas que no

Que esta noche te hago el amor

Por esos ojos me hice malandro

Tú la más buena, la envidia del antro

Niña, no me digas que no

Que esta noche te hago el amor

Vida recia, lujos, fama, joyas, culos

Tengo todo y nada me llena

El billete no vale verga

Ah, que buena vida llevo

Y si es que me voy primero

De allá te cuido, desde el cielo

Como a ti nadie, yo te quiero

Por esos ojos, yo robo y mato

Pa'l envidioso cargo aparatos

Niña, no me digas que no

Que esta noche te hago el amor

Por esos ojos me hice malandro

Tú la más buena, la envidia del antro

Niña, no me digas que no

Que esta noche te hago el amor

Key Grammar Structures

• Sé que yo no soy el mismo

  ➔ Use of the subjunctive mood (sé que + indicative/subjunctive)

  ➔ After "sé que" (I know that), the indicative mood is generally used when expressing certainty. However, the use of "no soy el mismo" makes it a negative or uncertain statement, leaning towards the subjunctive, even if not strictly required, adding a nuance of doubt or change. It is a common construction where the subjunctive is subtly implied.

• De la pobreza fui a salvarme

  ➔ Use of "ir a + infinitive" to express future intention or action.

  ➔ "Fui a salvarme" translates to "I went to save myself" or "I was going to save myself." It expresses the intention or plan to escape poverty.

• Se ve que me la paso a toda madre

  ➔ Impersonal construction with "se" + verb + que.

  ➔ The phrase "Se ve que..." means "It seems that..." or "It's evident that...". "Me la paso a toda madre" is an idiom meaning "I'm having a great time".

• Pa'l envidioso cargo aparatos

  ➔ Contraction "pa'l" (para el). Use of "para" to indicate purpose or recipient.

  ➔ "Pa'l envidioso" means "For the envious person". The sentence implies the speaker carries weapons or something to intimidate envious people.

• Niña, no me digas que no

  ➔ Use of the subjunctive after a negative command: "No me digas que + subjunctive"

  ➔ While not explicitly using the subjunctive here, the underlying idea is that a negative command like "No me digas que no" often implies a possibility or uncertainty, which in other constructions would require the subjunctive.

• Que esta noche te hago el amor

  ➔ Use of "hacer el amor" - idiomatic expression for 'to make love'

  ➔ This is a common and relatively gentle euphemism for having sexual relations, though still quite direct within the context of the song.
