[English]

You are poisonous

Your soul is a bug that wants to bite

Too bad you're always in all the places of the night

Go to hell

Stop bothering me

Go to hell

I never want to see you again

Go to hell

Stop bothering me

Go to hell

I never want to see you again

...

Your tone of voice

The things you say make me angry

Too bad you're always in all the places the night has

Go to hell

Stop bothering me

Go to hell

I never want to see you again

Go to hell

Stop bothering me

Go to hell

I never want to see you again

Go to hell

(Hell, hell, hell)

Stop bothering me

Go to hell

(Hell, hell, hell)

I never want to see you again

Go to hell

(Hell, hell, hell)

Stop bothering me

Go to hell

(Hell, hell, hell)

...

Key Grammar Structures

• Eres venenoso

  ➔ Use of the verb "ser" to describe a permanent characteristic.

  ➔ The verb "eres" (you are) is the present tense conjugation of the verb "ser", which is used to describe inherent qualities or characteristics. Here, it means "You are venomous," implying it's part of the person's nature.

• Tu alma es un bicho que quiere morder

  ➔ Relative clause using "que" and the verb "querer" + infinitive.

  ➔ This line uses the relative pronoun "que" to introduce a relative clause that modifies "un bicho." "Que quiere morder" (that wants to bite) further describes what kind of bug it is. The structure "querer + infinitive" expresses the desire to do something.

• Qué mal que en todos los sitios de la noche, siempre estés

  ➔ Use of "qué + adjective" to express an exclamation. Use of subjunctive mood after "que" expressing a subjective emotion. Use of "siempre" (always) as an adverb of frequency.

  ➔ "Qué mal" means "How bad!" or "What a shame!" It's an exclamation of disappointment. The phrase "que siempre estés" uses the subjunctive mood ("estés") because it follows "qué mal que" and expresses a subjective opinion or feeling. "Siempre" is an adverb signifying that this person is *always* present in those places.

• Vete a la mierda

  ➔ Imperative mood with a reflexive verb. Use of vulgar language.

  ➔ "Vete" is the informal (tú) imperative form of the reflexive verb "irse" (to go away). "A la mierda" is a vulgar expression meaning "to hell," "to shit," or something similar. The whole phrase means "Go to hell" or a stronger version of "Get lost!"

• Deja ya de molestar

  ➔ Imperative mood with "dejar de" + infinitive to express stopping an action.

  ➔ "Deja" is the informal (tú) imperative form of the verb "dejar" (to let, to allow). The structure "dejar de + infinitive" means "to stop doing something." "Deja ya de molestar" means "Stop bothering (me) already!"

• No quiero verte jamás

  ➔ Use of "no querer" + infinitive to express not wanting to do something. Use of "jamás" (never) to reinforce the negative.

  ➔ "No quiero verte" (I don't want to see you) expresses a lack of desire. "Jamás" (never) adds emphasis to the negation, making it a stronger statement than simply saying "No quiero verte."
