[English]

They're going around gossiping that what we have isn't

right, and they disrespect us without

any right to our love.

Because of social issues and the difference in

ages, these ignorant fools.

They don't want to see me with you.

They're not right.

This isn't right, and if they regret it,

they don't deserve any sympathy,

because in love, there is no economy or

anything specific that prevents people from loving.

Let the envious skeptics die,

trying to mess with our destiny.

Don't doubt it. A sharp tongue is more deadly

than a knife.

May they all fall into the abyss

if they won't accept our romance.

What the hell does economic

status matter? Since the soul has no value,

even if you're 30 and I'm only 24.

Those are just numbers, how annoying.

They're not right.

This isn't right. And if they

regret it, they don't deserve any sympathy.

Because in love, there is no economy or a

formula for how God loves.

Let the envious skeptics die

instead of messing with our style.

Don't doubt it. A sharp tongue is more

deadly than a knife.

May they all fall into the abyss

if they won't accept our romance.

Keep on criticizing,

keep on talking. And

do you like my bachata, my friend?

Uh-huh.

Our love isn't a game or a pastime.

It's brave, very stable, and without complexes.

And just like that,

they criticize both of us.

Anyway, whatever.

May God forgive them,

let the envious skeptics die

instead of messing with our destiny.

Don't doubt it, a tongue is more deadly than a

knife.

May they all fall into the abyss,

if they won't accept what is ours.

May they drown in their hatred, in the mud of

envy and malice,

and may life curse them

if they don't want to see me with you.

You need this in your life.

Keep talking.

[Spanish]

Andan rumurando que lo nuestro no es

debido y le faltan el respeto sin

derecho a nuestro amor.

Por cuestión social y diferencia en las

edades de estos tontos ignorantes.

No me quieren ver contigo.

No tienen razón.

Esto no es correcto y si se arrepienten

no merecen penitencia

porque en el amor no hay economía ni

nada precisa para que no se quieran.

Que se mueren los incrédulos envidiosos

y nos trochan el destino.

No lo duden. Una lengua de es más mortal

que un cuchillo.

Que caigan todos en abismo

si es que no aceptan nuestro idilio.

¿Qué demonio importa el estatus

económicos? Si el alma no tiene valor,

que tú tienes 30 y yo apenas 24.

Son numeritos que fastidio.

No tienen razón.

Esto no es correcto. Y si se

arrepienten, no merecen penitencia.

Porque en el amor no hay economía ni una

precisa para que Dios se quiera.

Que se mueran los incrédulos envidiosos

y no tronchan el estilo.

No lo duden. Una lengua de nervo es más

mortal que un cuchillo.

caigan todos abismo

si es que no aceptan nuestro idilio

sigan criticando,

sigan hablando. ¿Y

les gusta mi bachata, amiguita?

Ajá.

Nuestro amor no es jugas ni pasatiempo.

Es valiente, muy estable, sin complejos.

Y así

nos critican a los dos.

Total en fin.

Que los perdone Dios,

que se mueran los incrédulo, envidiosos

y no estonchan el destino.

Duden una lengua es más mortal que un

cuchillo.

caigan todos abismo,

si es que no es tan nuestro

que se ahoguen cus odio en el lodo de la

envidia en la malicia

y que la vida los maldiga

si no me quieren ver contigo.

You need this in your life.

Keep talking.

Key Grammar Structures

• Andan rumoreando que lo nuestro no es debido

  ➔ Periphrastic construction 'Andar + gerund'

  ➔ Using "Andan" + gerund expresses a continuous, repeated, or wandering action rather than just 'estar'.

• Que se mueran los incrédulos envidiosos

  ➔ Subjunctive mood for wishes/commands (Que + present subjunctive)

  ➔ The structure "Que" + subjunctive is used to express a strong wish or command towards third parties.

• Si el alma no tiene valor

  ➔ Conditional 'Si' clause (Type 1)

  ➔ The "Si" clause indicates a real condition. If the condition is met (if the soul has no value), the result follows.

• No merecen penitencia

  ➔ Negative polarity and verb agreement

  ➔ The subject (ellos) is omitted, typical in Spanish, focusing on the negation of the action.

• Que tú tienes 30 y yo apenas 24

  ➔ Concessive 'Que' clause

  ➔ "Que" here introduces an irrelevant fact (the age gap) used to dismiss the critics' arguments.

• Si es que no aceptan nuestro idilio

  ➔ Emphasis with 'Si es que'

  ➔ "Si es que" adds a nuance of 'if it happens that' or 'if it is true that', emphasizing the condition.

• Que los perdone Dios

  ➔ Subjunctive for hope/desire

  ➔ Similar to the first example, "Que" + subjunctive is used to offer a blessing or a final wish regarding the critics.

• Que se ahoguen con su odio

  ➔ Reflexive verb in subjunctive (Ahogarse)

  ➔ The reflexive "se" with "ahogar" changes the meaning to 'to drown themselves' or 'to choke', used figuratively here.
