[English]

If they see me spending money

It's because that's how I got used to winning

And if they see me drinking every day

It's because I haven't been able to forget you

I'm going to toast to your name once again

I'm going to double my stacks of cash

I'll spend bills on girls

I'm going to party with girls

Between drugs, women, and guns

The money—I got lost in the excess

That's all you caused me

For taking your kisses away from me

My love, just tell me that you miss me

That you're not with that idiot

That you miss my room

And all those sleepless nights

Girls come over so I don't have to think of you

And the more I drink, the more I keep remembering you

Mami, your perfume is still all over the BMW

I call and call, but you haven't answered me

Maybe you don't want someone full of hypocrisy

I told you everything, both the good and the bad I did

You want a good boy, romantic and poetic

And here I am, a thug who would die for your kisses

And I drink and drink in the meantime, so I don't remember you

I open another bottle of Buchanan's so I don't think of you

I've been on the verge of going out to look for you

But if you're happy, I have to respect that

...

[Spanish]

Si el dinero me miran gastar

Es que así me acostumbré a ganar

Y si a diario me miran tomar

Es que no te he podido olvidar

A tu nombre otra vez vo'a brindar

Las pacas las voy a duplicar

Con las morras billetes gastar

Con morras me voy a enfiestar

Entre drogas, mujeres, las armas

El dinero, me perdí, el exceso

Es todo lo que tú me causaste

Por haberme quitado tus besos

Mi amor, ya dime que sí me extrañas

Que no andas con ese pendejo

Que echas de menos mi habitación

Y todas las noches de desvelo

Llegan morritas para no estarte pensando

Y entre más tomo, más te sigo recordando

Mami, en el BM tu perfume está regado

Te llamo y llamo, pero no me has contestado

Tal vez no quieres a alguien lleno de hipocresía

Todo lo bueno y malo que hacía, te lo decía

Quieres un niño bueno, romántico y poesía

Y yo, que soy un vago que por tus besos moría

Y tomo y tomo, mientras, pa no recordarte

Otro Buchanan's abro para no pensarte

He estado a punto de salir a buscarte

Pero si eres feliz, tengo que respetarte

Si el dinero me miran gastar

Es que así me acostumbré a ganar

Y si a diario me miran tomar

Es que no te he podido olvidar

A tu nombre otra vez vo'a brindar

Las pacas las voy a duplicar

Con las morras billetes gastar

Con morras me voy a enfiestar

Entre drogas, mujeres, las armas

El dinero, me perdí, el exceso

Es todo lo que tú me causaste

Por haberme quitado tus besos

Mi amor, ya dime que sí me extrañas

Que no andas con ese pendejo

Que echas de menos mi habitación

Y todas las noches de desvelo

Llegan morritas para no estarte pensando

Y entre más tomo, más te sigo recordando

Mami, en el BM tu perfume está regado

Te llamo y llamo, pero no me has contestado

Tal vez no quieres a alguien lleno de hipocresía

Todo lo bueno y malo que hacía, te lo decía

Quieres un niño bueno, romántico y poesía

Y yo, que soy un vago que por tus besos moría

Y tomo y tomo, mientras, pa no recordarte

Otro Buchanan's abro para no pensarte

He estado a punto de salir a buscarte

Pero si eres feliz, tengo que respetarte
