Singer: Christian Nodal

Ella dice que el alcohol la pone mal
Pero su novio la pone peor
Hace tiempo que no le hace el amor

She says that alcohol makes her feel bad
But her boyfriend makes her feel worse
It’s been a while he hasn’t made love to her

Los besos ya no le saben igual
Quizá conmigo le saben mejor
O le curan el dolor

The kisses don’t taste the same anymore
Maybe they taste better with me
Or cure her pain

Yo la encontré sola y triste
Llorando abandonada
Dijo que es culpa del aguardiente
Pero se puso caliente
Y sola se desviste
No tuve que hacer nada
Sé que tu mirada no me miente
En tu cuerpo hay besos ausentes

I found her alone and sad
Abandoned crying
She said it’s the brandy’s fault
But it got hot
And she undresses alone
I didn’t have to do anything
I know that your gaze doesn’t lie to me
In your body there are absent kisses

Sé que el amor a veces duele, pero, ma
Aquí estoy pa’ sacarte de la soledad
Te da un Cartier, pero su tiempo no te da
¿Pa’ qué tantas promesas, si al final se va?

I know sometimes love hurts, but, ma
Here I am to get you out of loneliness
He gives you a Cartier, but doesn’t give you his time
Why so many promises, if you’re leaving at the end?

Las palabras vacías que te decía, yo las lleno todas
Tú vente conmigo, que llorar por alguien ya pasó de moda
Un par de tequilas pa’ estar tranquila, pero no funciona
Te hace falta algo más fuerte pa’ olvidar cuando te decepcionan

The empty words he said to you, I’ll fulfil them all
You come with me, crying over someone is old-fashion
A couple of tequilas to calm down, but it doesn’t work
You need something stronger to forget when he disappoints you

Yo la encontré sola y triste
Llorando abandonada
Dijo que es culpa del aguardiente
Pero se puso caliente
Y sola se desviste
No tuve que hacer nada
Sé que tu mirada no me miente
En tu cuerpo hay besos ausentes

I found her alone and sad
Abandoned crying
She said it’s the brandy’s fault
But it got hot
And she undresses alone
I didn’t have to do anything
I know that your gaze doesn’t lie to me
In your body there are absent kisses
