[English]

What the hell is wrong with you, with you, what's going on?

One day you love me so much and the next you just leave.

You promised you'd destroy me,

just playing with my love.

Go on, get away from me, I can't even stand to see you.

Mom, open the door for me,

I’m coming home drunk.

That woman doesn't love me, and now I've got no one who...

Mom, open the door for me,

I’m coming home drunk.

That woman doesn't love me, and now there's no one left who cares for me.

She asks me to buy her flowers,

wants me to stay loyal, while she's the one betraying me.

Because of you I lost everything I had, it hurt so much and still I loved you.

You don’t get it, my heart loved you, it didn’t care.

You left me with this open wound.

Mom, open the door for me,

I’m coming home drunk.

That woman doesn't love me, and now I've got no one who...

Mom, open the door for me,

I’m coming home drunk.

That woman doesn't love me, and now there's no one left who cares for me.

A drink with friends, and a sunset on the beach.

A secret, a look and a kiss before we say goodbye.

Look at her, look at her, look how cool she is.

I’m walking right into her hands.

And I can't even deny it.

I’m going to be happy,

yeah, I’m going to be happy.

No idea when I’ll come back to forget about you.

I’m going to be happy,

yeah, I’m going to be happy. No idea when I’ll come back to forget about you.

Mom, open the door for me, I’m coming home drunk.

That woman doesn't love me, and now there's no one left who cares for me.

Mom, open the door for me, I’m coming home drunk.

That woman doesn't love me, and now there's no one left who cares for me.

Remember how you used to say you’d never leave and in the end, you did.

Now after all these years, you come back regretful for what you did to me.

Now, now I just don't care.

Don’t ever come back.

Since you left, I’ve felt happy.

Like a little boat, stranded, floating in the sea.

Mom, open the door for me, I’m coming home drunk.

That woman doesn't love me, and now I've got no one who...

Mom, open the door for me, I’m coming home drunk.

That woman doesn't love me, and now there's no one left who cares for me.

[Spanish]

Qué coño pasa contigo, contigo ¿qué es lo que pasa?

Un día me quieres mucho y al otro te vas de casa.

La promesa de destrozarme,

a jugar con mi querer.

Anda y vete de mi vera, que no te puedo ni ver.

Mamá, ábreme la puerta,

que vengo de borrachera.

Esa mujer no me quiere y no tengo ya quien me...

Mamá, ábreme la puerta,

que vengo de borrachera.

Esa mujer no me quiere y no tengo ya quien me quiera.

Ella me pide que le compre flores,

que no la traicione, me traiciona a ella.

Por ti perdí lo que tenía, tanto me dolía y aún así te amaba.

Y no lo entiende, mi corazón te amaba, no le importaba.

Te fuiste dejando la herida abierta.

Mamá, ábreme la puerta,

que vengo de borrachera.

Esa mujer no me quiere y no tengo ya quien me...

Mamá, ábreme la puerta,

que vengo de borrachera.

Esa mujer no me quiere y no tengo ya quien me quiera.

Una copa con amigos, y un atardecer de playa.

Un secreto, una mirada y un beso hasta que se vaya.

Mírala, mírala, mira qué chula va.

Comiendo de su mano ando.

Y no lo puedo negar.

Que me voy a hacer feliz,

que me voy a hacer feliz.

No sé cuándo volveré para olvidarme de ti.

Que me voy a hacer feliz,

que me voy a hacer feliz. No sé cuándo volveré para olvidarme de ti.

Mamá, ábreme la puerta, que vengo de borrachera.

Esa mujer no me quiere y no tengo ya quien me quiera.

Mamá, ábreme la puerta, que vengo de borrachera.

Esa mujer no me quiere y no tengo ya quien me quiera.

Recuerda cuando me decía que nunca te iría y al final te fuiste.

Y ahora al cabo de los años, viene arrepentido de lo que me hiciste.

Ya, ya me da igual.

Ya, no vuelvas más.

Desde que te fuiste, yo me siento feliz.

Como un barquito varado, en el mar, y a la deriva.

Mamá, ábreme la puerta, que vengo de borrachera.

Esa mujer no me quiere y no tengo ya quien me...

Mamá, ábreme la puerta, que vengo de borrachera.

Esa mujer no me quiere y no tengo ya quien me quiera.

Key Grammar Structures

• Qué coño pasa contigo, contigo ¿qué es lo que pasa?

  ➔ Emphatic interrogative structure with 'qué'

  ➔ The repetitive "qué es lo que pasa" intensifies the questioning. "Qué coño" is colloquial for emphasis.

• Mamá, ábreme la puerta, que vengo de borrachera.

  ➔ Imperative + causal 'que' clause

  ➔ "Ábreme" (open for me) uses imperative mood. "Que" introduces a causal clause without explicit conjunction.

• Te fuiste dejando la herida abierta.

  ➔ Gerund indicating consequence

  ➔ The gerund "dejando" expresses a simultaneous consequence of "te fuiste", translating to 'leaving the wound open'.

• Por ti perdí lo que tenía, tanto me dolía y aún así te amaba.

  ➔ Contrast with "aún así" + imperfect tense

  ➔ Imperfect tense (dolía/amaba) describes past emotional states. "Aún así" introduces contrast meaning 'even so'.

• Comiendo de su mano ando.

  ➔ Gerund inversion for emphasis

  ➔ Inverted word order places gerund "comiendo" first, emphasizing metaphorical dependence ('walking while eating from their hand').

• Recuerda cuando me decías que nunca te iría y al final te fuiste.

  ➔ Contrast: imperfect (habitual) vs. preterite (complete)

  ➔ Imperfect "decías" shows past recurring actions, while preterite "fuiste" signals a single completed action, highlighting broken promises.

• Que me voy a hacer feliz, que me voy a hacer feliz.

  ➔ Reduplication for emotional reinforcement

  ➔ The repeated phrase "que me voy a hacer feliz" intensifies resolve through syntactic parallelism.

• Ella me pide que le compre flores, que no la traicione, me traiciona a ella.

  ➔ Subjunctive contrast

  ➔ Subjunctive "compre/traicione" contrasts with indicative "traiciona" to expose hypocrisy between requests and actions.
