Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Me Va A Perder by Banda Los Recoditos from Spanish to English.
Y estos son Los Recoditos, mija
And this is Los Recoditos, my dear
No le han avisado
They haven't warned her
Que se anda secando la planta que nunca regó
That the plant she never watered is drying up
Que le están ganando el mandado, que hay alguien mejor
That someone's outdoing her, that there's someone better
Que está a punto de convertirse en mi peor decepción
That she's about to become my biggest disappointment
Me va, me va a perder y no se ha dado cuenta
She's going to lose me, she hasn't even realized it
Que alguien le diga que se ponga trucha, que ya hay competencia
Someone tell her to watch out, that there's already competition
Me traen en la mira
They've got their sights set on me
Se le está durmiendo y puede que pierda al amor de su vida
She's getting complacent and she might lose the love of her life
Me va a perder y no sé a qué se atiene
She's going to lose me and I don't know what she's counting on
Un amor como este, la neta, ya no se repite dos veces
A love like this, honestly, doesn't happen twice
Y no es por acá
And it's not around here
Pero pa' olvidarme no habrá alcohol que alcance
But to forget, no amount of alcohol will be enough
Y la cruda moral será con lo que se quede
And the moral hangover will be what I'm left with
Y no es por acá
And it's not around here
Pero te están comiendo el mandado, chiquitita
But someone's outdoing you, little one
Me va, me va a perder y no se ha dado cuenta
She's going to lose me, she hasn't even realized it
Que alguien le diga que se ponga trucha, que ya hay competencia
Someone tell her to watch out, that there's already competition
Me traen en la mira
They've got their sights set on me
Se le está durmiendo y puede que pierda al amor de su vida
She's getting complacent and she might lose the love of her life
Me va a perder y no sé a que se atiene
She's going to lose me and I don't know what It's a given
Un amor como este, la neta, ya no se repite dos veces
A love like this, honestly, doesn't happen twice
Y no es por acá
And it's not around here
Pero pa' olvidarme no habrá alcohol que alcance
But to forget, no amount of alcohol will be enough
Y la cruda moral será con lo que se quede
And the moral hangover will be what I'm left with
