Venenosa

Venomous

Hubo un tiempo que estuviste haciéndome pasar por estúpida

There was a time you made me feel foolish

Decías que en causar problemas era siempre la única

You said that causing trouble was always your only role

Tú querías alguien dócil, pero siento decepcionarte

You wanted someone docile, but I'm sorry to disappoint you

Soy la mantis religiosa que devora luego a su amante

I'm the praying mantis that devours her lover afterward

No sé por qué presiento que una explosión dentro de mí está pasando

I don't know why I sense an explosion happening inside me

A ratos estoy feliz, a ratos rompo a llorar, solo mejoro bailando

At times I'm happy, at times I break down and cry, I only feel better dancing

Últimamente, no he podido evitar saborear otras cosas

Lately, I haven't been able to avoid tasting other things

He conseguido beber en otros labios la miel y me volví venenosa

I've managed to drink honey from other lips and I became venomous

Y me volví, me volví venenosa

And I became, I became venomous

Contra mi voluntad me volví venenosa

Against my will, I became venomous

Pasé de madrugar a mojar cada noche mi sábana rosa

I went from waking up early to soaking my pink sheets every night

Y me volví, me volví venenosa

And I became, I became venomous

Contra mi voluntad me volví venenosa

Against my will, I became venomous

Ya nunca pienso en ti, tengo en mente otra cosa

I no longer think of you, I have something else on my mind

Me he vuelto golosa

I've become greedy

La tóxica fui yo

I was the toxic one

Por soportar tus mentiras

For enduring your lies

Tus, tus mentiras, tus, tus mentiras

Your, your lies, your, your lies

Por abrigarme la piel para ocultar las heridas

For wrapping my skin to hide the wounds

Si tanto me amabas, ¿por qué me agredías?

If you loved me so much, why did you hurt me?

Por consentir que me trataras como un caso perdido

For allowing you to treat me like a lost cause

Caso perdido, caso, caso perdido

Lost cause, lost, lost cause

Y me maltrataras cada vez que regresabas bebido

And you mistreated me every time you came back drunk

Borracho, perdido

Drunk, lost

No sé por qué presiento que una explosión dentro de mí está pasando

I don't know why I sense an explosion happening inside me

A ratos estoy feliz, a ratos rompo a llorar, solo mejoro bailando

At times I'm happy, at times I break down and cry, I only feel better dancing

Últimamente, no he podido evitar saborear otras cosas

Lately, I haven't been able to avoid tasting other things

He conseguido beber en otros labios la miel y me volví venenosa

I've managed to drink honey from other lips and I became venomous

Y me volví, me volví venenosa

And I became, I became venomous

Contra mi voluntad me volví venenosa

Against my will, I became venomous

Pasé de madrugar a mojar cada noche mi sábana rosa

I went from waking up early to soaking my pink sheets every night

Y me volví, me volví venenosa

And I became, I became venomous

Contra mi voluntad me volví venenosa

Against my will, I became venomous

Ya nunca pienso en ti, tengo en mente otra cosa

I no longer think of you, I have something else on my mind

Me he vuelto golosa

I've become greedy

La venenosa, la venenosa (venenosa)

The venomous one, the venomous one (venomous)

Si pienso en ti, me vuelvo venenosa

Si pienso en ti, me vuelvo venenosa

If I think of you, I become venomous

La tóxica, la tóxica, la tóxica fui yo
