Tengo bendiciones, por eso le estoy rezando
I have blessings, that's why I'm praying
El perdón que tú estás esperando, woh

La cura ni santo, woh
Neither the cure nor a saint, woh
Cuando tú venías, yo ya estaba llegando
When you were coming, I was already arriving
Cuando la besabas, me estabas imaginando
When you kissed her, you were imagining me
No fue culpa mía, solo estaba jugando
It wasn't my fault, I was just playing
Te hice santería y tú me sigues pensando (oh oh oh oh)
I did Santeria on you and you're still thinking of me (oh oh oh oh)

Aquí caíste, ahora no llores
You fell here, now don't cry
Siempre te lo avisaba

Yo que tú me ponía a rezar
If I were you, I'd start praying
Yo ya no quiero tu llanto
I don't want your crying anymore
Óyeme lo que te digo, esto es lo que yo canto
Listen to what I tell you, this is what I sing
Me puedes ir olvidando
You can start forgetting me
A mí me cuida mi santo (oh oh oh oh)
My saint protects me (oh oh oh oh)
Es que soy dueña de mi vida, decidida
It's that I'm the owner of my life, determined
Saco las garras si me hieren o lastiman
I show my claws if they hurt or wound me
Es tarde para ti, ahora te puedes ir
It's too late for you, now you can leave
Cuando tú venías, yo ya estaba llegando
When you were coming, I was already arriving
Cuando la besabas, me estabas imaginando (imaginando)
