[English]

I know I'm not the same anymore.

And around my neck, there's a diamond chain.

I went from poverty to rising up.

Crazy, but madly in love.

Seems like I always have a good time.

Really blessed by my mom.

Because of those eyes, I steal and kill.

For the envious, I carry gadgets.

Girl, don't tell me no.

Tonight, I’ll make love to you.

Because of those eyes, I became a thug.

You're the best, the envy of the club.

Girl, don't tell me no.

Tonight, I’ll make love to you.

...

Strong life, luxury, fame, jewelry, women.

I have everything, but nothing fills me.

Money’s worthless.

Ah, life’s so good.

And if I leave first...

From up there, I watch over you.

Like no one else, I love you.

Because of those eyes, I steal and kill.

For the envious, I carry gadgets.

Girl, don't tell me no.

Tonight, I’ll make love to you.

Because of those eyes, I became a thug.

You're the best, the envy of the club.

Girl, don't tell me no.

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
