[Intro]
[Intro]
Mami esta vida es sabia, y llorar no me luce
Mommy this life is wise, and crying doesn't suit me
Y si por ti yo me muero, no sería dulce
And if I die for you, it wouldn't be sweet
Yo sé que el amor es ciego
I know love is blind
Lo vi en ti, el embuste
I saw it in you, the lie
Pero hice el ajuste
But I made the adjustment
Aunque no te guste
Even if you don't like it
[Pre-Chorus]
[Pre-Chorus]
Renací de nuevo
I was reborn again
Me puse primero
I put myself first
Olvidándote a ti, recordando el dinero
Forgetting you, remembering the money
No soy el mismo pendejo al que le vendiste sueños
I'm not the same idiot you sold dreams to
Ahora tu juego es mi juego
Now your game is my game
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Y cuando salgo pa' la calle
And when I go out to the street
Todos me dicen "tú cambiaste", (cuidado si me ven por ahí)
Everyone tells me "you've changed", (careful if they see me around)
Ahora yo soy el que va a romper
Now I'm the one who's going to break
Corazones igual como usted
Hearts just like you
Ahora yo soy el salvaje
Now I am the savage
Prometo nunca volver al mismo punto de ayer
I promise never to return to the same point as yesterday
Ahora yo soy el salvaje
Now I am the savage
[Bridge]
[Bridge]
A mi próximo cariño
To my next affection
Cuidado conmigo
Be careful with me
Tu corazón robaré pero sin compromiso
I'll steal your heart but without commitment
No soy el mismo de ayer
I'm not the same as yesterday
No me vuelvo a someter a un engreído Mabel
I won't submit again to a conceited Mabel
[Chorus]
[Chorus]
Y cuando salgo pa' la calle
And when I go out to the street
Todos me dicen "tú cambiaste", (cuidado si me ven por ahí)
Everyone tells me "you've changed", (careful if they see me around)
Ahora yo soy el que va a romper
Now I'm the one who's going to break
Corazones igual como usted
Hearts just like you
Ahora yo soy el salvaje
Now I am the savage
Prometo nunca volver al mismo punto de ayer
I promise never to return to the same point as yesterday
Ahora yo soy el salvaje
Now I am the savage
[Hook]
[Hook]
Uh, Uh
Uh, Uh
Yo Chi, le dije que yo vengo duro
Yo Chi, I told you I'm coming hard
Zaysu, baja el radio
Zaysu, turn down the radio
[Verse]
[Verse]
No me quedo atrás
I won't be left behind
De ahora en adelante
From now on
Te puedo amar sin amarte
I can love you without loving you
Le puedo huir sin dar la despedida
I can run from her without saying goodbye
No puedo darle amor por más que lo pida
I can't give her love no matter how much she asks for it
(Uh, Uh)
(Uh, Uh)
Yo te lo pido
I'm asking you
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no
No juegues conmigo
Don't play with me
Ha, ha, ha, ha, no juegues conmigo mami
Ha, ha, ha, ha, don't play with me mommy
Solo
Alone

Las flechas que tiro duelen, (hay cero romance)
