Cogí un respiro y me salí de la vía

Y hace tiempo que no venía a mi cabeza

And it hasn't come to my mind for a long time

Pero ya van par de cerveza'

But now there are a couple of beers

Y me acordé de cómo tú me besa'

De to' lo' polvo' encima'e la mesa

Tú brincando, mojadita, sudando Chanel

You jumping, wet, sweating Chanel

Yo sé que lo nuestro es cosa de ayer

Y me pone contento que te va bien con él

And it makes me happy you’re doing well with him

Yo ni te extrañaba, ni te quería ver

I didn't miss you, nor did I want to see you

Y me acordé de ti, cuando me hiciste feliz

Se acabó, pero me fui, ey

It's over, but I'm gone, hey

Yo mismo me rio de mí porque
