[English]

They're rumoring that what we have isn't

right, and they disrespect

our love without any right to.

Because of social status and age

differences, these foolish, ignorant people

don't want to see me with you.

They are wrong. This isn't right. And

if they repent, they don't deserve

forgiveness.

Because in love, there is no economy nor

any requirement for love not to exist.

Let the incredulous, envious people die

and stop messing with destiny.

Make no mistake, a tongue can be

more deadly than a knife.

May they all fall into the abyss

if they cannot accept our romance.

What the hell does economic status

matter if the soul has no price?

That you are 30 and I'm only 24,

those are just numbers that annoy them.

They are wrong.

This isn't right. And if they

repent, they don't deserve forgiveness.

Because in love, there is no economy nor

any requirement for God's love to exist.

Let the incredulous, envious people die

and stop messing with our style.

Make no mistake, a poisonous tongue is

more deadly than a knife.

May they all fall into the abyss

if they cannot accept our romance.

Keep on criticizing,

keep on talking.

And they love my bachata, my little friend.

Our love isn't a game or a pastime.

It is brave, very stable, without complexes.

And so

they criticize both of us,

anyway, in the end.

May God forgive them,

let the incredulous, envious people die

and not destiny.

A tongue is more deadly than a

knife.

May they all fall into the abyss,

if they don't accept ours.

Let them drown their hatred in the mud of

envy and malice,

and may life curse them

if they don't want to see me with you.

[Spanish]

Andan rumurando que lo nuestro no es

debido y le faltan el respeto sin

derecho a nuestro amor.

Por cuestión social y diferencia en las

edades de estos tontos ignorantes.

No me quieren ver contigo.

No tienen razón. Esto no es correcto. Y

si se arrepienten, no merecen

penitencia.

Porque en el amor no hay economía ni

nada precisa para que no se quiera.

Que se mueran los incrédulos envidiosos

y no trchan el destino.

No lo duden una lengua de no es más

mortal que un cuchillo.

que caigan todos en abismo

si es que no aceptan nuestro idilio.

¿Qué demonio importa el estatus

económico si el alma no tiene valor?

Que tú tienes 30 y yo apenas 24.

Son numeritos que fastidió.

No tienen razón.

Esto no es correcto. Y si se

arrepienten, no merecen penitencia.

Porque en el amor no hay economía ni

nada precisa para que Dios se quiera.

Que se mueran los incrédulos envidiosos

y no tronchan el estilo.

No lo duden que una lengua venenos es

más mortal que un cuchillo.

que caigan todos en abismo

si es que no aceptan nuestro idilio.

sigan criticando,

sigan hablando.

Y les gusta mi bachata, amiguita.

Nuestro amor no es jugas ni pasatiempo.

Es valiente, muy estable, sin complejos.

Y así

nos critican a los dos

total, en fin.

Que los perdone Dios,

que se mueran los incrédulos envidiosos

y no el destino.

Una lengua de es más mortal que un

cuchillo.

que caigan todos en el abismo,

si es que no es nuestro

que se ahoguen cus odio en el lodo de la

envidia en la malicia

y que la vida los maldiga

si no me quieren ver contigo.
