Verse 1

Don't worry about me because I'm living very well

I don't feel anything anymore, I don't think of you like yesterday

The caresses and the kisses I already forgot them

With friends and bottles I have a great time

Time heals everything, I've tested it already

Prechorus 1

The wounds that you left with alcohol I cured them

One ice-cream and from my mind I erased you

Today I have the band playing for me all month

With corridos and women I see the dawn

Don't think about calling me anymore, I won't answer

Chorus 1

We always fought over nonsense

Or: We always fought over stupid things

I didn't realize that you weren't loving me anymore

Waiting like a fool to see if you would come back

Always with the story that you're with your friends

And now I'm drinking a few drinks of tequila

Or: And now I'm having a few shots of tequila

I finished the bar and I still don't forget you

Or: I finished the bar and still I haven't forgotten you

Doesn't leave my head your beautiful smile

Or: I can't get your beautiful smile out of my head

I feel that everything around comes down on me

Or: I feel like everything around me is falling apart

Verse 2

The stories that we lived, I erased them months ago

We left this story, that I ended in her good

Or: We leave this story behind, which I ended for her good

I deserve someone who yes knows how to love me

You failed me despite being always at your feet

The endings are hard but it can't be

Or: The endings are tough, but it can't be (helped)

Prechorus 2

The wounds in my mind I couldn't overcome

So let's hope that you're doing great

Or: So let's hope everything goes great for you

I wish that you won't cry even if this is the end

I closed this chapter now leave me in peace

Or: I closed this chapter, now leave me alone

The pain in my chest the time will take it away

Chorus 2

We always fought over nonsense

I didn't realize that you weren't loving me anymore

Waiting like a fool to see if you would come back

Always with the story that you're with your friends

Now I'm drinking a few drinks of tequila

I finished the bar and I still don't forget you

Doesn't leave my head your beautiful smile

I feel that everything around comes down on me

Did you like this lyrics translation?

cuento — story / excuse

Cuento literally translates to "story" or "tale," like a children's fairytale. However, in this song, it's used in a very common and clever idiomatic way.

In the lyric "Siempre con el cuento que andabas con tus amigas" (Always with the 'story' that you were with your friends), the singer is sarcastically referring to an excuse or a lie he's heard many times. Learning cuento in this context is great because it captures that feeling of calling someone out on a fib they keep repeating.

This song is a perfect example of someone trying way too hard to prove they're over a breakup. At first, the singer puts on a big show, claiming, "No te preocupes por mí que yo estoy viviendo muy bien" (Don't worry about me, I'm living very well). He says he's forgotten everything and is healing himself with parties and drinking: "Las heridas que dejaste con alcohol me las curé" (The wounds you left, I cured them with alcohol). It's all about looking strong and moving on.

But then, the tough act completely falls apart. He admits the truth: "Me acabé la barra y no te olvido todavía" (I finished the whole bar and I still haven't forgotten you). He's still thinking about her smile and feels like the world is caving in on him. He remembers how he waited for her like a fool, realizing she didn't love him anymore. In the end, he tries to close the chapter for good, telling her to leave him in peace so he can finally heal.
