Translation of the song lyrics Novios Cruzados - Los Dos Carnales

Novios Cruzados (original)

Hoy recuerdo todavía el día que llegaste al barrio
Y como no eras de mi mundo, otro rumbo fui buscando
Después de pasar un año, logré ser tu gran amigo
Y como eras mi confidente, no quería nada contigo
Luego pasó un rato
Y me dijiste que en la cuadra alguien te gustaba
Era el muchacho nuevo que en el barrio se mudaba
No llegué a sentir celos en ningún momento
Y yo por otro lado
Pendiente que con tu amiga me ayudaras
Aunque tenía otros amores que me acompañaban
Hoy de todo eso te juro que me arrepiento
También recuerdo que mi mejor amigo
Quería ser tu novio, pero tú de él no
Y yo de loco le ayudé a que tu cariño
Fuera de él y se quedara con tu amor
Y yo con tu mejor amiga
Aguantando desprecios que me herían
Y tú haciendo cualquier cosa por mantener
El amor que por ella sentía
Y cómo es la vida
Después que pasó un tiempo, te dejé de hablar
Porque un día por teléfono te hablé muy mal
Éramos los novios cruzados
O sea, tú con él y yo con ella
Estábamos equivocados
O sea, tú con él y yo con ella
Éramos novios cruzados
Pasaron varias semanas, las cosas fueron cambiando
Mi amigo quería a tu amiga y no lo habíamos notado
Después que todo se supo, tú lo fuiste abandonando
Yo también hice lo mismo, ya no estaba enamorado
Luego tú me hablaste
Querías volver a ser mi amiga, eso decidiste
Y que querías ser mi novia a alguien le dijiste
Poquito a poco te fuiste enamorando
Pasaron tres meses
Y ya los dos andábamos más que tragados
Era lo más bello que nos había pasado
Y lentamente fui olvidando mi pasado
Porque he cambiado como tú no lo imaginas
Ya dejé esos amores que tenía demás
Y lo más bueno es que eres dueña de mi vida
Y que me amas aunque no acepten la verdad
Entre tú y yo nada ha cambiado
Tú sigues siendo mi mejor amiga
Con una diferencia que me das tus besos
Y que tus ojos me dominan
Gracias por estar a mi lado
Y compartir tus sueños conmigo
Por ser la luz que ahora me ha iluminado
Ya no somos novios cruzados
O sea, tú con él y yo con ella
Estábamos equivocados
O sea, tú con él y yo con ella
Bueno, ¿en qué estábamos pensando?

Novios Cruzados (translation)

Today I still remember the day you arrived in the neighborhood
And since you weren't from my world, I was looking for another direction
After spending a year, I managed to be your great friend
And since you were my confidant, I didn't want anything with you
Then a while passed
And you told me that someone on the block liked you
He was the new boy who was moving in the neighborhood
I did not feel jealous at any time
and me on the other hand
Pending that with your friend you will help me
Although I had other loves that accompanied me
Today I swear I regret all that
I also remember that my best friend
He wanted to be your boyfriend, but you didn't
And I, crazy, helped him so that your love
Get out of it and stay with your love
And me with your best friend
Holding contempt that hurt me
And you doing anything to keep
The love that I felt for her
and how is life
After some time passed, I stopped talking to you
Because one day on the phone I spoke to you very badly
We were the crossed boyfriends
I mean, you with him and me with her
we were wrong
I mean, you with him and me with her
We were married couples
Several weeks passed, things were changing
My friend loved your friend and we hadn't noticed
After everything was known, you were abandoning him
I also did the same, I was no longer in love
then you spoke to me
You wanted to be my friend again, that's what you decided
And that you wanted to be my girlfriend, did you tell someone?
little by little you fell in love
three months passed
And we were both more than swallowed
It was the most beautiful thing that had happened to us
And slowly I was forgetting my past
Because I have changed as you cannot imagine
I already left those loves that I had others
And the best thing is that you own my life
And that you love me even if they don't accept the truth
Between you and me nothing has changed
you are still my best friend
With one difference that you give me your kisses
And that your eyes dominate me
Thanks for being by my side
And share your dreams with me
For being the light that has now illuminated me
We are no longer married couples
I mean, you with him and me with her
we were wrong
I mean, you with him and me with her
Well, what were we thinking?
