[English]

Today I woke up remembering you

Your sweet affections, all your little kisses

I feel alone and empty

Nothing is the same because you're not here

Oh, my sweetie, I miss you so much

How many times have I texted you?

How many times have I called you and you haven't answered?

Damn, what did I do? What happened to you?

Oh, my baby, I love you

And now, what do I do?

And when will I forget?

If I miss you so much,

why don't you come for a bit?

And now I'm careful

twice as much so I don't get

a broken heart,

when before I had it whole

Yeah, you're a wild one

Little one, if you come back, I'll do whatever you ask

You broke my heart and the wound won't heal

I'm a fool suffering here, I'm messed up and you're enjoying life

I'm serious, he who laughs first

ends up crying at the end of the story

And here I am drinking in front of my friends

Always thinking

about seeing you for a while, about seeing you for a while

And now, what do I do?

And when will I forget? (When?)

If I miss you so much, why don't you come for a bit?

Come for a bit, come for a bit

And now, and now I'm careful, I'm careful

twice as much so I don't get

a broken heart, when before I had it whole

(before I had it whole)

Oh, sweetie!

How much I love her!

Woah!

And pure Grupo Firme!

With my buddy, SixtyNine

Woah-woah-woah-woah!

Go for it, my bro

Woah

Mexico in the house

[Spanish]

Hoy desperté recordándome

De tus cariñitos, de to' los besitos

Me siento solo y vacío

Nada sigue igual porque tú no estás

Ay, mi purunguita, yo te extraño demasiado

¿Cuántas veces te he texteado

Cuántas veces te he llamado y no has contestado?

Diablo, ¿qué hice, qué te ha pasado?

Ay, bebecita, yo te amo

Y ahora, ¿qué hago?

¿Y el olvido, pa cuándo?

Si me haces falta,

¿por qué no llegas un rato?

Y ahora me cuido

el doble pa que no me deje

El cora partido,

si antеs lo tenía enterito

Yеah, eres una bala perdida

Chiquitica, si tú vuelves, hago lo que me pidas

Me rompiste el corazón y no se sana la herida

Soy un bobo aquí sufriendo, ando jodido y tú gozándote la vida

Te lo digo en serio, el que ríe primero

Queda llorando y al final del cuento

Y yo aquí tomando frente a mis compas

Siempre pensando

en verte un rato, en verte un rato

Y ahora, ¿qué hago?

¿Y el olvido pa cuándo? (¿Pa cuándo?)

Si me haces falta, ¿por qué no llegas un rato?

Llégate un rato, llégate un rato

Y ahora, y ahora me cuido, me cuido

el doble pa que no me deje'

El cora partido, si antes lo tenía enterito

(antes lo tenía enterito)

¡Ay, chiquitita!

¡Cómo la quiero!

¡Úah!

¡Y puro Grupo Firme!

Con mi compa, SixtyNine

¡Úah-úah-úah-úah!

Échale ahí, mi bro

Úah

México en la casa
