Translation: "When you were with your friends, I was always making up excuses for you."

- **Estando**: "being," "while being" (gerund that sets the scene)
- **con**: "with"
- **tus**: "your"
- **amigas**: "(female) friends"
- **siempre**: "always"
- **te**: indirect-object pronoun meaning "to you / for you"
- **inventaba'**: shortened form of *inventaba* (imperfect past of *inventar*), "I used to make up" or "I was making up". The missing final *-s* and the apostrophe are a common urban/reggaeton clipping.
- **pretexto'**: shortened form of *pretextos*, "excuses". Again, final *-s* is dropped for style.

The singer is reminiscing: whenever the girl was hanging out with her girlfriends, he (the "yo" understood in *inventaba*) would create excuses so she could slip away and meet him, setting up the next line "Pa' terminar en mi apartamento" ("to end up in my apartment").
