Translation of the song lyrics Amarga Vida - Don Omar

Amarga Vida (original)

Amarga vida
Tu que me has maltratao tanto
Yo que te he pagao tan caro
A mi me quiere hacer llorar
Y no, y no, y no, y no, y no…
Amarga vida
Tu que me has maltratao tanto
Yo que te he pagao con llanto
A mi me quiere hacer llorar
Y no, y no, y no, y no, y no…
Amiga me tuve que parar debajo de la sombra a ver
Lo que es tener o no tener
Lo que es ganar y perder
Lo que es matarse los amigos por poder a mi vida
A mi
Que te he demostrao de que estoy hecho
Y que le puesto el pecho a todo lo que me has soltao
A mi, ami no vida
A mi me das cosas lindas
A mi me das cariño
A mi me das a mis niños
A mi me das a mi isla
A mi me das Puerto Rico
Bueno ami no me vengas con cuentos
Ni con sueños violentos que yo soy negro
Puesto pa lo mio
Orgulloso de mi caserio y de quien soy
Por eso estoy donde estoy
Amarga vida
Tu que me has maltratao tanto
Yo que te he pagao con llanto
A mi tu no me va a matar
Y no, y no, y no, y no, y no…
Amarga vida
Tu que me has hecho tanto daño
Yo que te he pagao con llanto
A mi me quieres tu matar
Y no, y no, y no…
A mi que he corrio por toas las calles de este caserio
Cuantos locos se han metio
A tratar de hacerse dueños de lo mio
Tu tas loca vida, a mi no

Amarga Vida (translation)

bitter life
You who have mistreated me so much
I have paid you so dearly
He wants to make me cry
And no, and no, and no, and no, and no...
bitter life
You who have mistreated me so much
I who have paid you with tears
He wants to make me cry
And no, and no, and no, and no, and no...
Friend I had to stop under the shade to see
What it is to have or not to have
What is winning and losing
What it is to kill friends for power to my life
Me
That I have shown you what I am made of
And that I put my chest to everything that you have released me
To me, to me not life
you give me nice things
you give me love
You give me my children
You give me my island
You give me Puerto Rico
Well, ami, don't come to me with stories
Nor with violent dreams that I am black
Post pa lo mio
Proud of my farm and who I am
That's why I'm where I am
bitter life
You who have mistreated me so much
I who have paid you with tears
You are not going to kill me
And no, and no, and no, and no, and no...
bitter life
You who have done me so much damage
I who have paid you with tears
you want to kill me
And no, and no, and no...
I have run through all the streets of this village
How many crazy have gotten
To try to become owners of what is mine
Your crazy life, not me
