My buddies at the party, they don’t think I can

forget you,

and I feel like it’s

true. I think they’re right—you’re acting like

you’ve got nothing, like you’re already

used to it, like you don’t even

remember me, like even my jokes don’t

reach

you.

You won’t admit it, but my life—you’re just not

in it anymore. Please, I’m grabbing another bottle to see if this time I can forget

you. A ton of girls have been in my bed, but the deaf one? I don’t even know

her name. What kind of bill did you leave them with? So expensive. Poor things, I left them

hurt. Drunk, I feel like going for the

llama qué factora les dejaste tan cara

yours, baby.

dañadas ya pedo me entrol de ir por la

luna pero solo hay una y bien sabes que

es tuya bebé

...

...

And the truth is, even though it hurts, no one will love you like

I did,

and I’m sure of that.

My love, I

swear it. That’s why I’m

drunk. Before you, I was a good

guy. Tell me, what have you done to me? My heart is

broken. Waiter, please, bring me another

deshecho mesero porfa traigo Otra

bottle. Maybe this time I’ll forget her. A ton of girls have been in my bed, but the deaf one? I don’t even know

her name. What kind of bill did you leave them with? So expensive. Poor things, I left them

hurt. Drunk, I feel like going for the

moon, but there’s only one, and you know it’s

yours, baby.

dañadas ya pedo me entrol de ir por la

luna pero solo hay una y bien sabes que

es tuya bebé

Key Grammar Structures

• mis compas en la peda ellos no creen que olvidarte pueda y siento que si es cierto

  ➔ Subjunctive mood (creer que + subjunctive), use of 'pueda' after 'creen'

  ➔ The verb 'creer' (to believe) when expressing doubt or uncertainty requires the subjunctive mood in the subordinate clause. Here, they don't believe *that* he can forget her. The 'pueda' is the subjunctive form of 'poder' (to be able to).

• que hasta mi humor te llame

  ➔ Indirect object pronoun 'te', reflexive verb usage ('llamar' in this context)

  ➔ 'Te' is the indirect object pronoun meaning 'to you'. The verb 'llamar' is being used reflexively here, meaning 'to call upon' or 'to affect'. It's saying that even his mood is affected *by* you.

• traigo Otra botella para ver si en esta ya me olvido de ella

  ➔ Use of 'otra' (another), conditional 'si' clause

  ➔ 'Otra' means 'another'. The 'si' clause introduces a condition: 'if' he drinks from this bottle, *maybe* he'll forget her. It expresses a hope, not a certainty.

• chingo de viejas conocen mi cama

  ➔ Colloquial slang ('chingo'), noun-adjective order

  ➔ 'Chingo' is a very strong, colloquial slang term meaning 'a lot of'. The phrase literally means 'a lot of old women know my bed'. The noun 'viejas' comes before the implied adjective describing them.
