El Amigo Lyrics in English Christian Nodal
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Amigo by Christian Nodal from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
De cora me alegra
From the heart I'm glad
Que ya tu vida no esté negra
that your life's no longer dark
Que le puso color y están mucho mejor
that he gave it color and you're way better
Se te nota y me cuentan
It shows on you and they tell me
No es secreto que tú merecías más
It's no secret that you deserved more
De lo que te di
than what I gave you
Verse 1
Él fue el que ganó
He was the one who won
Yo fui el que perdí
I was the one who lost
Verse 1
Y me frustra
and it frustrates me
Hablar de eso no me gusta
I don't like talking about that
Chorus 1
Yo de ese tema no opino
I don't comment on that topic
Pero ya con los tragos les digo
But once I'm drinking I tell them
Que la trata como a una reina
that he treats her like a queen
Pero ella lo trata como amigo
but she treats him like a friend
Y él se ve fino
and he looks classy
De esos que se emborrachan con vino
one of those who get drunk on wine
Pero yo que la conozco a ella
but I, who know her
No le gusta, no es su estilo
she doesn't like it, it's not her style
Y la verdad
and truth is
Juntos no se ven tan mal
together they don't look that bad
Chorus 1
Pero se veía mejor conmigo
but she looked better with me
Él amigo, ese titulo de novio puede que le pese

Verse 2
Puede que la bese pero no la besa como yo la besé
He might kiss her but he doesn't kiss her like I kissed her
A veces pienso que ella piensa en eso
Sometimes I think that she thinks about that
A veces dice que es feliz, pero no parece
Sometimes she says that she's happy, but it doesn't seem so
Con él ella no se humedece
With him she doesn't get wet
Conmigo es que ella pertenece
With me is where she belongs
Yo le doy un par de meses
I give her a couple of months
Pa' que conmigo regrese
for her to come back to me
Ni aunque ore, ni aunque rece
Not even if he prays, not even if he worships
Ni aunque es mucho lo que ofrece
Not even though he offers a lot
Ella con él no envejece
She doesn't grow old with him
Él no sabe dónde quedan esos puntos
He doesn't know where those spots are
Que la vuelven loca
that drive her crazy
Él le toca el cuerpo
He touches her body
Pero soy yo el que al alma le toca
but I'm the one who touches her soul
Les pido de compas
I ask you, pals
Que no me hagan abrir la boca
that you don't make me open my mouth
