Ay, mama

Oh, mom

Ya no sé ni donde estoy

I don't even know where I am anymore

Le estoy marcando y me manda al buzón

I'm calling her and she sends me to voicemail

Estaba en línea y ni me contestó

She was online and didn't even answer me

Su amiga me dice que ya se durmió

Her friend tells me she already fell asleep

Pero no le creo nada

But I don't believe anything she says

Siempre es la misma cuando anda tomada

It's always the same when she's drunk

Apaga el cel, dice que no pasa nada

She turns off her phone, says nothing's wrong

Y yo ando que me lleva la chingada

And I'm feeling like hell

Por sus besos

For her kisses

Por su cuerpo

For her body

Por su voz

For her voice

Por su tiempo

For her time

Por supuesto por su amor

Of course, for her love

¿Cómo es eso,

How is it,

Que todo se te olvidó?

That you forgot everything?

Ya ni siento

I don't even feel anymore

Traigo roto el corazón

My heart is broken

Ay mamá

Oh, mom

Ahí te va chiquita

Here it comes, little one

Y el balero mija?

And the rhythm, dear?

Ya ni se pa donde voy

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

Sigo soñando con tu habitación

I keep dreaming of your room

Qué feo estar solo en el mes del amor

How awful to be alone in the month of love

Y tú sigues sin contestar el fon

And you still don't answer the phone

Solo en la madrugada

Alone in the early morning

Que ando bien loco dice la plebada

The gang says I'm really crazy

Para dormir me haces falta aquí en mi cama

To sleep, I need you here in my bed

Hoy quiero que me lleve la chingada

Today I want to feel like hell

Por sus besos

For her kisses

Por su cuerpo

For her body

Por su voz

For her voice

Por su tiempo

For her time

Por supuesto por su amor

Of course, for her love

¿Cómo es eso,

How is it,

Que todo se te olvidó?

That you forgot everything?

Ya ni siento

I don't even feel anymore

Tengo roto el corazón

My heart is broken

  ➔ The construction "estar + gerund" ("estoy marcando") expresses an ongoing action. "Le" is an indirect object pronoun (to him/her/it), and "me" is a direct object pronoun (me).

• Estaba en línea y ni me contestó

  ➔ Imperfect vs. Preterite & Emphatic Negation "ni"

  ➔ "Estaba" (Imperfect) describes a continuous state in the past, while "contestó" (Preterite) describes a completed action at a specific past moment. "Ni" emphasizes the negative, meaning "not even".

• Siempre es la misma cuando anda tomada

  ➔ Ser vs. Estar & "Andar" + Adjective/Past Participle

  ➔ "Es" (Ser) is used for permanent characteristics or identities (she's "always" the same person). "Anda tomada" uses "andar" colloquially with a past participle to express being in a temporary state (being drunk/intoxicated).

• Y yo ando que me lleva la chingada

  ➔ Idiomatic expression with "Andar que"

  ➔ This is a highly colloquial and informal expression, roughly meaning "I'm extremely upset/annoyed/in a terrible state." The structure "andar que" + verb is used to describe a strong feeling or state.

• Por sus besos... Por supuesto por su amor

  ➔ Use of "Por" (Cause/Reason)

  ➔ "Por" is used here to indicate the reason or cause for something. The speaker is listing the reasons for their distress/feelings. "Por supuesto" means "of course".

  ➔ Pronominal Verb "Olvidarse" (with indirect object pronoun) & Impersonal/Passive "se"

  ➔ "Olvidarse" is a pronominal verb here, used with an indirect object pronoun "te" to mean "you forgot (it)". The "se" creates an impersonal or passive-like construction, where "everything was forgotten by you" or "everything was forgotten to you."

• Traigo roto el corazón

  ➔ "Traer" + Past Participle (Resultative State)

  ➔ This is a colloquial construction, particularly common in Mexican Spanish, where "traer" (to bring/carry) is used with a past participle to indicate a resulting state or condition that one "carries" with them. Here, "I have a broken heart."

• Sigo soñando con tu habitación

  ➔ "Seguir" + Gerund

  ➔ The verb "seguir" followed by a gerund ("soñando") means "to continue doing something." It indicates an action that is still ongoing from a previous point.

• Qué feo estar solo en el mes del amor

  ➔ Exclamatory Phrases & Infinitive as Noun
