[English]

I'm going to be honest with you

Old friend

I hold no grudge against you

But rather the opposite

She was my madness

Almost my grave

You did me a favor

Even without intending to

I'm going to be honest with you

Old friend

I hated her with all my heart

And you too

And she wasn't worth it

It was just short‑sightedness

Sorry, don't take offense

No need to

Send my regards to her

Do me a favor

Tell her I remember her

Of course, why wouldn't I!

Send my regards to her

Yes, truly

And make love to her without restraint

For your peace of mind

And take care of your dove

I'm not saying it as a joke

Where they take them

They give them

I'm going to be honest with you

Old friend

And it's not to worry you

Why?

She was my torment

Almost my testament

You gave me a gift

Believe me

I'm going to be honest with you

Old friend

I hated her with all my heart

And you too

...

And she wasn't worth it

It was just short‑sightedness

Sorry, don't take offense

No need to

Send my regards to her

Do me a favor

Tell her I remember her

Of course, why wouldn't I!

Send my regards to her

Yes, truly

And make love to her without restraint

For your peace of mind

And take care of your dove

I'm not saying it as a joke

Where they take them

They give them

...

Send my regards to her

Do me a favor

Tell her I remember her

Of course, why wouldn't I!

Send my regards to her

...

[Spanish]

Te voy a ser sincero

Viejo amigo

No te guardo rencor

Sino al revés

Ella fue mi locura

Casi mi sepultura

Tú me hiciste un favor

Aún sin querer

Te voy a ser sincero

Viejo amigo

La odié con toda el alma

Y a ti también

Y ella no lo valía

Sólo fue miopía

Perdona, no te ofendas

No hay por qué

Salúdamela mucho

Hazme el favor

Dile que la recuerdo

De sobra, ¡Cómo no!

Salúdamela mucho

Sí, de verdad

Y hazle el amor sin freno

Por tu tranquilidad

Y cuida tu paloma

Que no lo digo en broma

Donde las toman

Las dan

Te voy a ser sincero

Viejo amigo

Y no es por preocuparte

¿Para qué?

Ella fue mi tormento

Casi mi testamento

Tú me hiciste un regalo

Créeme

Te voy a ser sincero

Viejo amigo

La odié con toda el alma

Y a ti también

Y ella no lo valía

Sólo fue miopía

Perdona, no te ofendas

No hay por qué

Salúdamela mucho

Hazme el favor

Dile que la recuerdo

De sobra, ¡Cómo no!

Salúdamela mucho

Sí, de verdad

Y hazle el amor sin freno

Por tu tranquilidad

Y cuida tu paloma

Que no lo digo en broma

Donde las toman

Las dan

Salúdamela mucho

Hazme el favor

Dile que la recuerdo

De sobra, ¡Cómo no!

Salúdamela mucho
