[English]

Oh, mom

Tito Double P

I don't even know where I am anymore

I'm calling her and she sends me to voicemail

She was online and didn't even answer me

Her friend tells me she already fell asleep

But I don't believe anything she says

It's always the same when she's drunk

She turns off her phone, says nothing's wrong

And I'm feeling like hell

For her kisses

For her body

For her voice

For her time

Of course, for her love

How is it,

That you forgot everything?

I don't even feel anymore

My heart is broken

Oh, mom

Here it comes, little one

And the rhythm, dear?

I don't even know where I'm going anymore

I keep dreaming of your room

How awful to be alone in the month of love

And you still don't answer the phone

Alone in the early morning

The gang says I'm really crazy

To sleep, I need you here in my bed

Today I want to feel like hell

For her kisses

For her body

For her voice

For her time

Of course, for her love

How is it,

That you forgot everything?

I don't even feel anymore

My heart is broken

[Spanish]

Ay, mama

Tito Double P

Ya no sé ni donde estoy

Le estoy marcando y me manda al buzón

Estaba en línea y ni me contestó

Su amiga me dice que ya se durmió

Pero no le creo nada

Siempre es la misma cuando anda tomada

Apaga el cel, dice que no pasa nada

Y yo ando que me lleva la chingada

Por sus besos

Por su cuerpo

Por su voz

Por su tiempo

Por supuesto por su amor

¿Cómo es eso,

Que todo se te olvidó?

Ya ni siento

Traigo roto el corazón

Ay mamá

Ahí te va chiquita

Y el balero mija?

Ya ni se pa donde voy

Sigo soñando con tu habitación

Qué feo estar solo en el mes del amor

Y tú sigues sin contestar el fon

Solo en la madrugada

Que ando bien loco dice la plebada

Para dormir me haces falta aquí en mi cama

Hoy quiero que me lleve la chingada

Por sus besos

Por su cuerpo

Por su voz

Por su tiempo

Por supuesto por su amor

¿Cómo es eso,

Que todo se te olvidó?

Ya ni siento

Tengo roto el corazón
