Ya entendí muy bien qué fue lo que pasó
Y aunque duela tanto, tengo que aceptar
Que tú no eres la mala, que el malo soy yo

I already understood very well what happened
And although it hurts so much, I have to accept
That you're not the bad one, that the bad one is me

Sí, sabes que ya llevo un rato mirándote
Tengo que bailar contigo hoy
Vi que tu mirada ya estaba llamándome
Muéstrame el camino que yo voy

I have to dance with you today
I saw that your look was already calling me
Show me the way that I'm going
