Reina de corazones
Por ti me jugué las cartas
Y aposté más de lo que se supone
Y me dejaste sin nada
El casino cerró-ó-ó-ó-ó
Tú juegas de una manera que así no sé yo-o-o-o-o-o-o
Queen of Hearts
For you, I took a chance
And risked more than I was supposed to
And you left me with nothing
The casino is closed-ó-ó-ó-ó
You play in a way that I don’t know how-o-o-o-o-o-o
Siempre aposté de más
Creyendo que jugabas limpio
Yo quisiera jugar como tú
Pero la verdad te envidio
No me da el corazó-ó-ó-ó-ó-ó-ón
Pa’ dañar un corazó-ó-ó-ó-ó-ó-ón
I always risked too much
Believing you were honest
I wish I could play like you
But honestly, I envy you
I don’t have the heart
To break a heart
Pa’ dañar un corazón
To break a heart
Partiste la historia en dos partes
Yo muriendo por ti y eso no lo ves
Tus cartas solo fueron diamantes
Imposible ganarte con tréboles
You split the story into two parts
Me dying for you, and you don’t see that
Your cards were just diamonds
Impossible to win against you with clubs
¿Quién cambió el resultado?
Juego de dos resultó de tres
Me fallaron los dados
Ya iba a ganar y el casino cerró-ó-ó-ó-ó
Tú juegas de una manera que así no sé yo-o-o-o-o-o-o
Who changed the outcome?
A two-player game turned into three
The dice let me down
I was about to win, and then the casino closed
You play in a way that I don’t understand
Siempre aposté de más
Creyendo que jugabas limpio
Yo quisiera jugar como tú
Pero la verdad te envidio
No me da el corazó-ó-ó-ó-ó-ó-ón
Pa’ dañar un corazó-ó-ó-ó-ó-ó-ón
I always risked too much
Believing you were honest
I wish I could play like you
But honestly, I envy you
I don’t have the heart
To break a heart
Pa’ dañar un corazón
Pa’ dañar un corazón
To break a heart
To break a heart
