Te bloqueé en Insta
Pero por otra cuenta veo tus historias
Tu número lo borré
No sé pa’ qué si me lo sé de memoria

I blocked you on Instagram
But I see your stories from another account
I erased your number
I don’t know why because I know it by heart

Me hiciste daño
Y así te extraño
Y aunque sé que un día te voy a olvidar
Aún no lo hago
Es complicado
To’ lo que hicimo’ me gusta recordar

You hurt me
And I miss you like this
And although I know I’ll forget you one day
I still haven’t
It’s complicated
I like to remember everything we did

Ando manejando
Por las calles que me besaste
Oyendo las canciones
Que un día me dedicaste
Te diría que volvieras
Pero eso no se pide
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide
Porque ando manejando
Por las calles que me besaste

I’m driving
Through the streets that you kissed me
Listening to the songs
That one day you dedicated to me
I would tell you to come back
But that’s not required
I better ask God to take care of me
Why am I driving?
Through the streets that you kissed me

Oyendo las canciones
Que un día me dedicaste
Te diría que volvieras
Pero eso no se pide
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide, eh

Listening to the songs
That one day you dedicated to me
I would tell you to come back
But that’s not required
I better ask God to take care of me, eh

Que me cuide de otra
Que se parezca a ti
No quiero caer como hice por ti
Ojalá te enamore
Te haga lo mismo que me hiciste a mí
Tú me enseñaste
A no amar a cualquiera
Y también como no quiero que me quieran
No, éramos tres en una relación de dos
No te perdono, pídele perdón a Dios
Dije que te olvidé y la verdad e’ que yo
Yo

Take care of another
That looks like you
I don’t want to fall like I did for you
I hope you fall in love
Do the same to you that you did to me
You taught me
Not to love anyone
And also how I don’t want to be loved
No, we were three in a relationship of two
I don’t forgive you, ask God for forgiveness
I said that I forgot you and the truth is that I
Me

Ando manejando
Por las calles que me besaste
Oyendo las canciones
Que un día me dedicaste
Te diría que volvieras
Pero eso no se pide
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide
Porque ando manejando
Por las calles que me besaste
Oyendo las canciones
Que un día me dedicaste
Te diría que volvieras
Pero eso no se pide
Mejor le pido a Dios que me cuide, eh

I’m driving
Through the streets that you kissed me
Listening to the songs
That one day you dedicated to me
I would tell you to come back
But that’s not required
I better ask God to take care of me
Why am I driving?
Through the streets that you kissed me
Listening to the songs
That one day you dedicated to me
I would tell you to come back
But that’s not required
I better ask God to take care of me
