| Te arranque de un camino muy triste
| I ripped you off a very sad path
|
| Te ayude a manos llenas en todo
| I help you hands full in everything
|
| Como al cielo no pude subirte
| As to heaven I could not upload you
|
| Te alfombre donde pisas con oro
| I carpet you where you step with gold
|
| Como a nadie en el mundo te quise
| Like no one in the world I loved you
|
| Ahora puedes creerme que te odio
| Now you can believe me that I hate you
|
| Yo te puse las alas que tienes
| I gave you the wings that you have
|
| Pero puedo cortarte las plumas
| But I can clip your feathers
|
| Si le digo a la gente quien eras
| If I tell people who you were
|
| No te queda con que les presumas
| You don't have to show them off
|
| Porque tu no naciste con bienes
| Because you were not born with goods
|
| Ni en la vida has tenido fortuna
| Not even in life have you had fortune
|
| Como Dios da la dicha y las penas
| As God gives happiness and sorrows
|
| Yo te di algo que puedo quitarte;
| I gave you something that I can take from you;
|
| Te subí a un pedestal de grandeza
| I put you on a pedestal of greatness
|
| Y te bajo si quiero bajarte
| And I put you down if I want to put you down
|
| Pide a Dios que no diga quien eras
| Ask God not to say who you were
|
| Porque ahí es donde está tu desastre
| 'Cause that's where your mess is
|
| (Y él que no te conozca, que te compre chaparrita)
| (And he who doesn't know you, who buys you shorty)
|
| Más valía que te hubieras perdido
| You better have missed
|
| Donde nunca te hubiera encontrado
| Where I never would have found you
|
| Porque así pensaría en tu cariño
| Because that's how I would think of your love
|
| Al igual que algo grande y sagrado
| Like something big and sacred
|
| Pero sólo lo que has conseguido
| But only what you've got
|
| Es que te hable con tanto descaro
| Is that I speak to you with so much impudence
|
| Como Dios da la dicha y las penas
| As God gives happiness and sorrows
|
| Yo te di algo que puedo quitarte
| I gave you something that I can take from you
|
| Te subí a un pedestal de grandeza
| I put you on a pedestal of greatness
|
| Y te bajo si quiero bajarte
| And I put you down if I want to put you down
|
| Pide a Dios que no diga quien eras
| Ask God not to say who you were
|
| Porque ahí es donde está tu desastre | 'Cause that's where your mess is |
