Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Que ya no sientes

You no longer feel

En la panza, mariposas

butterflies in your stomach

Que le has perdido el gusto

That you've lost the taste

A besarme la boca

for kissing me on the lips

Que ya nada es igual

That nothing is the same

No te hago suspirar

I don't make you sigh

Y estás pensando

And you're thinking

Si te quedas o te vas

whether to stay or go

Que le echaste un montón de ganas a la relación

That you gave the relationship your all

Que te crea que hacerme llorar jamás fue tu intención

That you believe hurting me was never your intention

Que no eres tú, soy yo

It's not you, it's me

Que ya no hay solución

That there's no more solutions

Que no te juzgue si se te acabó el amor

Don’t judge me if the love is gone

Te felicito

Congratulations

Mandaste a chingar su madre a un amor bien bonito

You told your beloved to go to hell

A tu disposición, puse mi corazón

I put my heart at your disposal

Y hoy me lo entregaste todo hecho pedacitos

And today, you broke it into tiny pieces

Te felicito

Congratulations

No le fallaste al que juró que no eras buena

You didn't betray the one who swore you weren't good enough

No hay nada más que hacer, hoy la gente va a hablar

There's nothing more to do, people are going to talk

Me toca ser el tema en pláticas ajenas

Now I have to be the topic of gossip

Te felicito

Congratulations

Hiciste llorar a quien te quería a la buena

You made the one who loved you cry—in a good way

Te felicito

Congratulations

Mandaste chingar su madre a un amor bien bonito

Told your beloved to go to hell

A tu disposición, puse mi corazón

I put my heart at your disposal

Y hoy me lo entregaste todo hecho pedacitos

And today, you broke it into tiny pieces

Te felicito

Congratulations

No le fallaste al que juró que no eras buena

You didn't betray the one who swore you weren't good enough

No hay nada más que hacer, hoy la gente va a hablar

There's nothing more to do, people are going to talk

Me toca ser el tema en pláticas ajenas

Now I have to be the topic of gossip

Te felicito

Congratulations

Hiciste llorar a quien te quería a la buena

You made the one who loved you cry—in a good way

Key Grammar Structures

• Que ya no sientes en la panza, mariposas

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (implicit). The "que" implies doubt or a statement of reported feelings/thoughts.

  ➔ The use of "que" introduces a subordinate clause that describes what she *no* longer feels. While not explicitly subjunctive, the feeling described suggests a non-factual, subjective experience.

• Que le has perdido el gusto a besarme la boca

  ➔ Present Perfect tense with "haber" + past participle (has perdido). Indirect object pronoun "le".

  ➔ "Le has perdido el gusto" translates to "You have lost the taste for it," with "le" referring to the act of kissing. The present perfect emphasizes that this loss of taste has occurred up to the present moment.

• Si te quedas o te vas

  ➔ Conditional clause introduced by 'si' (if) followed by the verb in the present tense. Alternative question using 'o'.

  ➔ This expresses a doubt. "If you stay or you leave". This structure implies uncertainty about her decision.

• Que le echaste un montón de ganas a la relación

  ➔ Idiomatic expression "echarle ganas" (to put effort into something). Past tense (echaste).

  ➔ "Echarle ganas" is a common expression meaning to put effort and enthusiasm into something. The preterite tense "echaste" emphasizes that the effort was made in the past.

• Que te crea que hacerme llorar jamás fue tu intención

  ➔ Subjunctive mood after "que" indicating doubt/opinion: "hacerme llorar jamás fue tu intención." Use of "jamás" (never).

  ➔ The phrase "Que te crea..." implies she wants him to *believe* that making him cry was never her intention. The subjunctive mood is often used in clauses expressing wishes, doubts, or uncertainty.

• Mandaste a chingar su madre a un amor bien bonito

  ➔ Vulgar expression: "mandar a chingar su madre" (a very strong, vulgar way of saying "to screw up something", literally "to send someone to fuck their mother"). Past tense (mandaste).

  ➔ This is a highly offensive expression used to express extreme anger or disappointment. It's crucial to understand that this is not suitable for polite conversation.

• A tu disposición, puse mi corazón

  ➔ Past tense (puse). Prepositional phrase "a tu disposición" (at your disposal).

  ➔ "A tu disposición" is a formal way to offer something completely for someone's use. The use of past tense indicates it was a past action, contrasting with the current situation.

• Y hoy me lo entregaste todo hecho pedacitos

  ➔ Past tense (entregaste). Indirect object pronoun "me". Participle as adjective: "hecho pedacitos" (made into little pieces).

  ➔ "Me lo entregaste" means "you gave it back to me." "Hecho pedacitos" modifies "todo" (everything) and emphasizes the broken, shattered state in which she returned his heart.
