I am not here to see if I can

Because I can, I am here

You say no and I am not afraid

You say go and I stay

Until you say yes

They say you speak ill of me

But you didn't talk to me

I, who didn't even know you

Just by seeing you, I decided

That I am going to live with you

I saw you on the phone

In your Instagram photos

Flirting with a mirror

I will remind you

That she who looks for a Superman

Ends up with an idiot

Take advantage of me

I am all yours

Here I leave you this little letter

Wrapped in cellophane

I only ask for a date

You are not for a lady

And I am even less for Don Juan

I'll wait for you on the corner

Underneath the lamppost

Make yourself look pretty

Don't act all fancy

That raises cholesterol

I saw you on the phone

In your Instagram photos

Flirting with a mirror

I will remind you

That she who looks for a Superman

Ends up with an idiot

Take advantage of me

I am on sale for you

I am not here to see if I can

Because I can, I am here

Here

Did you like this lyrics translation?

coqueteándole — flirting with

Coqueteándole comes from the verb coquetear, meaning "to flirt". The -le ending indicates that the action is being done to someone or something.

In the song, Arjona sings, "Ya te vi en el celular, en tus fotos de Instagram, coqueteándole a un espejo." He's describing seeing the person he's interested in on Instagram, flirting with a mirror. It's an interesting and slightly playful word choice that paints a vivid picture of vanity and self-admiration, making it memorable and engaging.

Ricardo Arjona plays the swaggering charmer, and the hook says it outright: 'Porque puedo estoy aquí' [Because I can, I'm here] — not fishing for a maybe. He needles the type still holding out for a hero: 'la que busca un Superman / termina con un pendejo' [the one looking for a Superman ends up with a fool], then turns the joke on himself, pricing his own attention low: 'Estoy de oferta para ti' [I'm on sale for you]. Between a cellophane-wrapped love note and a streetlamp meetup, the song stays cocky and a little crude, never sincere for long.
