Verse 1

She and I

Two crazy people living an adventure punished by God

A labyrinth with no way out where fear becomes love

Or: A dead-end labyrinth

We're her husband, she and I

My wife and I

Just like you, we share an eternal love in life

The perfect lady, a true beauty

She is my inspiration

She and I are happy

Friend she and I

We only see each other secretly

To drown this forbidden passion

And although she belongs to someone else

I only have one dream, to be her protector

We're her husband, she and I

Chorus 1

Hey Don fight for love

Don't advise me in your position

Maybe her husband doesn't rule her heart

You don't know who the victim is in the confusion

Hey my friend fight for love

Don't advise me in your position

Maybe that guy doesn't rule her heart

You don't know who the victim is in this confusion

Verse 2

My wife and I

We're happy, two original souls

Or: We're happy, two soulmates

I know what love is

That's why I understand you and although she's married

Don't walk away because of fear

Don't do it, Don

My friend she and I

We were clear that this relationship was madness

But the flesh was calling us

And the bed was sending us an invitation

To just make love

I explained to you already

Or: I've already explained to you

When there are people who love each other

Love has to triumph

And the husband already understands that he lost his woman

Now she's your woman

All three can't win

Chorus 2

And I repeat fight for love

Don't advise me in your position

Maybe her husband doesn't rule her heart

You don't know who the victim is in this confusion

Don't be so foolish fight for love

Don't advise me in your position

Maybe that guy doesn't rule her heart

You don't know who the victim is in this confusion

Verse 3

Friend I ask forgiveness I never failed you

The desire to see her again betrayed me

And although I still can't believe

What this bitter encounter made me understand

Well, you also arrived at that place

Where so many times I went to look for her

And although what I'm going to do isn't easy

I will admit that I went out with your wife

Or: I'll admit that I dated your woman

I went out with your wife

Or: I dated your woman

I went out with your wife

May God forgive you, I'm not going to do it

I lost them both and at the same time

Now I see that everything was a lie when she was telling me

That she was going to Puerto Rico on vacations with her friend

She lied to me

You and her in a bed there in Bayamón

Maybe on Isla Verde or Carolina

Carolina is a city on the northeast coast of Puerto Rico. Isla Verde (Spanish for green island) is an area of Carolina in Puerto Rico

How many hotels did she defile

You too, I hate you both

Outro

That I

I'm the one who suffers the most from all this

The pain is killing me

A betrayal

I lost a friend to temptation, sorry

Bye

traición — betrayal

Traición translates to "betrayal", a powerful word that captures the heart of this song's dramatic storyline.

"Ella y Yo" is famous for its narrative style, telling the story of a shocking love triangle that ends in a painful confrontation. The line "Una traición... Perdí un amigo por la tentación" (A betrayal... I lost a friend to temptation) reveals the ultimate consequence of the affair, making traición a central and emotionally charged word in the song.

This track is pure bachata drama told as a dialogue between two friends sitting down for a talk. Romeo Santos (lead singer of the Dominican group Aventura) talks about how completely in love he is with his wife, calling her "la dama perfecta" ("the perfect lady"). Meanwhile, Don Omar confesses that he is having a secret, guilt-ridden affair with a married woman: "Dos locos viviendo una aventura castigada por Dios" ("Two crazy people living an affair punished by God"). Romeo tries to be the supportive friend. He repeatedly urges Don to fight for his romance with "Oye mi pana, lucha por amor" (pana is everyday Caribbean slang for a close buddy or pal). Romeo insists that true love should win, completely oblivious to the trap he is setting for himself.

Then comes the massive twist that turns the whole conversation upside down. Don Omar realizes the horrifying truth and finally admits: "Salí con tu mujer" ("I went out with your wife"). The very woman Don was seeing behind closed doors is Romeo's wife. Romeo instantly loses it, connecting the dots on all her fake trips: "Ya veo que todo era mentira cuando ella me decía / Que se iba pa' Puerto Rico a vacaciones con su amiga" ("Now I see that everything was a lie when she told me / That she was going to Puerto Rico on vacation with her friend"). He even rattles off the exact Puerto Rican cities where they sneaked around, like Bayamón, Isla Verde, and Carolina. By the end, the friendship is wrecked beyond repair, leaving Romeo furious ("los odio a los dos" / "I hate you both") and Don Omar walking away with nothing but regret.
