Tu amor es un periódico de ayer
Que nadie mas procura ya leer
Sensacional cuando salió en la madrugada
A medio día ya noticia confirmada
Y en la tarde materia olvidada
Tu amor es un periódico de ayer
Your love is a newspaper from yesterday
That nobody else tries to read
Sensational when it came out at dawn
At noon, news confirmed
And in the afternoon forgotten matter
Your love is a newspaper from yesterday
Fue titular que alcanzó pagina entera
Por eso ya te conocen donde quiera
Tu nombre ha sido con reporte que guardé
Y en el álbum te olvidó lo pegue
It was a headline that reached the entire page
That’s why they already know you wherever you want
Your name has been with a report that I saved
And in the album you forgot to paste it
Tu amor es un periódico de ayer
Que nadie mas procura a leer
El comentario que nació en la madrugada
Y fuimos ambos la noticia propagada
Y en la tarde materia olvidada
Tu amor es un periódico de ayer
Your love is a newspaper from yesterday
That nobody else tries to read
The comment that was born at dawn
And we were both the news spread
And in the afternoon forgotten matter
Your love is a newspaper from yesterday
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Oye noticia que todos saben, ya yo no quiero leer
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Tu no serviste pa’ nada mami, y al zafacón yo te eché
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Echa, camina, apartate de mi vera
Apartate de mi lado
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Tu eres el diario, la prensa, radio Bemba, radio Bemba
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
Hey news that everyone knows, I no longer want to read
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
You were not good for anything mommy, and I threw you into the trashcan
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
Take, walk, get away from me
Get away from my side
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
You are the newspaper, the press, radio Bemba, radio Bemba
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Para que voy a leer la historia de un amor que no ni puedo creer?
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Te quise, te tuve, te mantuve, pero ya no te quiero
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
A tu casa yo no voy Polito, va y tumbe la chaveta, la chaveta
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
En el álbum de mi vida en una pagina escondida ahí te encontré
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
Why am I going to read the story of a love that I can’t even believe?
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
I loved you, I had you, I kept you, but I no longer love you
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
I’m not going to your house, Polito, go and knock down the key, the key
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
In the album of my life on a hidden page there I found you
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Anda vete de mi vera cosa buena, ya no te quiero ni ver
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Que te pasa estas llorando, tienes alma de papel
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Y como el papel aguanta todo, así mismo te traté
Y para que leer, un periódico de ayer
Analizate tu historia, y así podrás comprender
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
Come on, go away from me, good thing, I don’t even want to see you anymore
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
What’s wrong with you, are you crying, you have a paper soul
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
And since paper holds everything, I treated you the same way
And why read, a newspaper from yesterday
Analyze your story, so you can understand
