[English]

I'm crying in my room

Everything's cloudy around me

...

She left with a spoiled kid

In a white Ford Fiesta

And a yellow sweater

I see them passing through the park

...

When they kiss, I feel terrible

I'm going to get revenge on that faggot

I'll fill his neck with some crazy powder

Suffer, bastard

Give me back my girl

Or you'll be twisting in crazy powder

Suffer, bastard

Give me back my girl

Or you'll be twisting in crazy powder

...

I burned his sweater

And he bought five or six more

I'm going to wreck his car

I've got it ready

Tonight I'll do it

You'll never make fun of me again

Sorry, kid, you're gonna die

You took from me what I loved most

And she'll come back to me

She'll come back someday

Suffer, bastard

Give me back my girl

Or you'll be twisting in crazy powder

Suffer, bastard

Give me back my girl

Or you'll be twisting in crazy powder

Suffer, bastard

Give me back my girl

Or you'll be twisting in crazy powder

Suffer, bastard

Give me back my girl

Or you'll be twisting in crazy powder

...

[Spanish]

Estoy llorando en mi habitación

Todo se nubla a mi alrededor

Ella se fue con un niño pijo

En un Ford Fiesta blanco

Y un jersey amarillo

Por el parque les veo pasar

Cuando se besan, lo paso fatal

Voy a vengarme de ese marica

Voy a llenarle el cuello de polvos picapica

Sufre, mamón

Devuélveme a mi chica

O te retorcerás entre polvos picapica

Sufre, mamón

Devuélveme a mi chica

O te retorcerás entre polvos picapica

Le he quemado su jersey

Y se ha comprado cinco o seis

Voy a destrozarle el coche

Lo tengo preparado

Voy esta noche

No te reirás nunca más de mí

Lo siento, nene, vas a morir

Tú me quitaste lo que más quería

Y volverá conmigo

Volverá algún día

Sufre, mamón

Devuélveme a mi chica

O te retorcerás entre polvos picapica

Sufre, mamón

Devuélveme a mi chica

O te retorcerás entre polvos picapica

Sufre, mamón

Devuélveme a mi chica

O te retorcerás entre polvos picapica

Sufre, mamón

Devuélveme a mi chica

O te retorcerás entre polvos picapica
