Hacela Bien Lyrics in English by Alfonso El Pintor

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Hacela Bien by Alfonso El Pintor from Spanish to English.
You see that your friends always come all dolled up
They pick you up and only you all know where you're going
They all leave a lot to be desired, you know it
And you also know that I know it
Goodbye, goodbye, darling
I give you a kiss, I say goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, darling
I give you a kiss, I say goodbye
And if you're gonna do it, do it right
Do it religiously
Do it with your hundred percent
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Do it and make sure that I don't find out
So that they don't see you, so that they don't tell me
Do it right
Do it religiously well
And if you're gonna do it, do it right
Do it religiously
Do it with your hundred percent
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Do it and make sure that I don't find out
So that they don't see you, so that they don't tell me
Do it right
Do it religiously well
Do it with your hundred percent
I say goodbye
And if you're gonna do it, do it right
Do it religiously
Do it with your hundred percent
If you're gonna do it, do it right
Do it and make sure that I don't find out
So that they don't see you, so that they don't tell me
Do it right
Do it right
Do it religiously well
Do it right
Do it with your hundred percent

Religiosamente literally translates to "religiously," implying something done with great devotion or regularity, as if it were a religious practice.

In the context of this song, the phrase "Hacela religiosamente" (Do it religiously) is used to emphasize doing something thoroughly and completely, without cutting corners. It's a unique and somewhat ironic use of the word, as the song is about a clandestine affair, not a spiritual one. This unexpected usage makes it memorable and intriguing.

“Hacela Bien” finds Spanish singer Alfonso El Pintor in a playful yet pointed mood. Over a groove made for late-night city lights, he watches his partner head out with a squad that “deja mucho que desear” (leaves a lot to be desired). He knows their destination is trouble, and he is not fooled by the glitter and perfume. With a kiss and a deceptively sweet “adiós,” he calls her bluff and steps back from the drama.

The chorus flips the typical jealous-lover script: instead of begging her to stay faithful, Alfonso challenges, “Si la vas a hacer, hacela bien”—if you are going to do it, do it right. Give it your 100 percent, keep it under wraps, and spare him the embarrassing rumors. The song becomes a witty anthem about honesty, pride, and owning your choices, wrapped in catchy repetition that makes the warning feel like a dance-floor dare. Listeners are left nodding to the beat while reflecting on the cost of playing games in love.
