[English]

Man, Edwin

I carry a wound deep in my soul

One of those that hurts a lot

Go ahead, my buddy Flaco

Let’s go

Her name, her name is "Destiny"

No, it’s called "Broken Life"

It’s a new problem now

Come on, buddy

I’m leaving to try to forget her

And that ungrateful girl who ended my life

There’s no faith left, no love, no hope

Everything in my life is over

I don’t want to wish her bad luck

Or ask her to come back to me

I just want her to suffer like I do

And for it to hurt her that she betrayed me

Oh, little one, how much I love you!

That’s how my buddy Flaco, my buddy Uziel Payan, sounds

And just Grupo Firme, man

I’m leaving now, I carry a wound inside

I can’t forget her memory

All I know is she destroyed my life

May God keep her and forgive her

It hurts me to leave my poor parents

Their advice I didn’t understand

If death or fate condemn us

I refuse to just suffer alone

Right there

Greetings, buddy Isai Gutiérrez, buddy Heber Gutiérrez

Pure Music VIP, my buddy Flaco

Close it out, brother, whoa!

Had to send a shoutout to my dad, my brother

Close it, ha, ha, ha

...

[Spanish]

Compa', Edwin

Traigo una herida en el alma macizo

De esas que duelen machín

Jálese, mi compa' flaco

Vámonos

Se llama, se llama "Destino"

Mentira, "Vida truncada" se llama

A nuevo pedo, ya

Vamos, compa'

Ya me voy para ver si me olvido

Y de esa ingrata que truncó mi vida

Ya no hay fe, no hay amor ni esperanza

En mi vida todo se acabó

Ya no quiero desearle mala suerte

Ni pedirle que vuelva a mi lado

Solo quiero que sufra como sufro

Y que le duela el haberme traicionado

¡Ay, chiquitita, cómo la quiero!

Así suena mi compa' el Flaco, mi compa' Uziel Payan

Y puro Grupo Firme, viejo

Ya me voy, llevo en mi alma una herida

Su recuerdo no puedo olvidarlo

Solo sé que destrozó mi vida

Que Dios la guarde y le dé su perdón

Solo siento dejar mis pobres padres

Sus consejos que no supe entender

Si la muerte o el destino nos condena

No me conformo con mi propio padecer

Ahí nomás

Saludos, compa' Isai Gutiérrez, compa' Heber Gutiérrez

Puro Music VIP, mi compa' Flaco

Cierre compadre, ¡ua!

Tenía que mandarle un saludo a mi viejo, mi hermano

Cierre, ja, ja, ja
