In my life, I was

a tourist; you only saw the best of me and

not what I

was suffering. You left without knowing why, the

reason behind my

wound, and it wasn't your job to heal it

You came to have a

good time, and we had a

good time. A pretty photo,

one to show off,

beautiful, a little

dance, your gold

chain. We were so

close, looking—did you

not see the

pain in my broken

heart that you carry, and you've carried it for so

long

for so many years, hiding

your

feelings. I'm afraid you'll hurt me more, and it's been like this,

it's been like this for a long time,

it's been for so many

years. And I don't know, my love, what life

has in store for you and me, if it happens, it happens, and

if not, then so be it. Let's go

hard. The night got beautiful, but not

as beautiful as

you, and never like

[Music]

you. In my life, you were

a tourist; you only saw the best of me and not

what I

was suffering. You left without knowing why, the

reason behind my

wound, and it wasn't your job to heal it

You came to have a

good time, and we had a good time

[Music]

Look at me badly if you want, I'll keep going. I'm

gonna take you, baby, after Tinder, you'll

delete Tinder, and I'm single.

Mami, I'm single. Look at me now, dancing reggaeton, I'm single. Mami, I'm single.

un aserto estoy suelto Mami estoy suelto

And today the streets are lit, let's go.

Crushed pill, I don't want time, I

change them like Rosalía. Whoever looks into my

eyes...

What the fuck
