Yeah, yeah
Yeah, yeah
Envy is a sign of admiration
Envy is a sign of admiration
Hate: It's the epitome of destruction
Hate: It's the epitome of destruction
Tal parece
It seems
Que mi amor crece y crece
That my love grows and grows
Pero tú desvaneces
But you fade away
Y me ofreces tu amistad sin otra excepción
And you offer me your friendship with no other exception
Sé que hay otro hombre
I know there is another man
Que ha logrado lo que yo jamás a ti te di
Who has achieved what I never gave you
Un hogar, una familia, un buen porvenir
A home, a family, a good future
Perdón por hacerte daño
Sorry for hurting you
Y por ti
And for you
Vivo aniquilado en el despecho
I live annihilated in despair
Reprimido, ardiendo por los celos
Repressed, burning with jealousy
Lo odio aunque él te haga feliz
I hate him even if he makes you happy
A mí
To me
Nada me intimida pero entiendo
Nothing intimidates me but I understand
Que él gano la guerra hace tiempo
That he won the war a long time ago
Y se me olvida que ya te perdí
And I forget that I already lost you
Celo sus besos sobre tu cuerpo
I'm jealous of his kisses on your body
La envidia se apodera así de mí y te quiero aquí
Envy takes hold of me like this and I want you here
Odio ese hombre porque está a tu lado
I hate that man because he is by your side
Perdí tu amor, soy un pobre diablo
I lost your love, I am a poor devil
Sin tu amor yo no soy nada, nada
Without your love I am nothing, nothing
Y por ti
And for you
Vivo aniquilado en el despecho
I live annihilated in despair
Reprimido, ardiendo por los celos
Repressed, burning with jealousy
Lo odio aunque él te haga feliz
I hate him even if he makes you happy
A mí
To me
Nada me intimida pero entiendo
Nothing intimidates me but I understand
Que él gano la guerra hace tiempo
That he won the war a long time ago
Y se me olvida que ya te perdí
And I forget that I already lost you
Escucha las palabras
Listen to the words
Yeah, drizzy Drake
Yeah, drizzy Drake
Yo fui el llanto, él es tu sonrisa (turn the lights on)
I was the crying, he is your smile (turn the lights on)
Y lo nuestro desplomó sobre un volcán muy de prisa
And ours collapsed over a volcano very quickly
Uh, you were the one
Uh, you were the one
You've been the one from the moment I seen you
You've been the one from the moment I seen you
Sometimes I question if this is all real
Sometimes I question if this is all real
Then I grab on that ass and I firmly believe it
Then I grab on that ass and I firmly believe it
And you look like you drawn by an artist
And you look like you drawn by an artist
No you, you look like Bernice and Yaris
No you, you look like Bernice and Yaris
But both put together, those are some girls that I know from back home
But both put together, those are some girls that I know from back home
If you saw 'em you'd get it
If you saw 'em you'd get it
Look don't worry about it, keep speakin' Spanish
Look don't worry about it, keep speakin' Spanish
I'll get it translated, you know you my baby
I'll get it translated, you know you my baby
Anything for you, anything baby
Anything for you, anything baby
I do not wanna be enemies baby
I do not wanna be enemies baby
I would just much rather give you a baby
I would just much rather give you a baby
And buy you a house, so I live with you baby
And buy you a house, so I live with you baby
Don't stay with this new guy, I really go crazy
Don't stay with this new guy, I really go crazy
Y por ti
And for you
Vivo aniquilado en el despecho
I live annihilated in despair
Reprimido, ardiendo por los celos
Repressed, burning with jealousy
Lo odio aunque él te haga feliz
I hate him even if he makes you happy
A mí
To me
Nada me intimida pero entiendo
Nothing intimidates me but I understand
Que él gano la guerra hace tiempo
That he won the war a long time ago
Y se me olvida que ya te perdí
And I forget that I already lost you
