Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amarga Vida by Don Omar from Spanish to English.
Tú que me has maltratao tanto
You who have mistreated me so much
Yo que te he pagao' tan caro
I who have paid you so dearly
A mí me quiere hacer llorar
You want to make me cry
Y no, y no, y no, y no, y no
And no, and no, and no, and no, and no
Tú que me has maltratao' tanto
You who have mistreated me so much
Yo que te he pagao' con llanto
I who have paid you with tears
A mí me quiere hacer llorar
You want to make me cry
Y no, y no, y no, y no, y no
And no, and no, and no, and no, and no
Amiga me tuve que parar debajo de la sombra a ver
Friend, I had to stop under the shade to see
Lo que es tener o no tener
What it's like to have or not have
Lo que es ganar y perder
What it's like to win and lose
Lo que es matarse los amigos por poder a mi vida
What it's like to kill friends for power in my life
Que te he demostrao de que estoy hecho
Who has shown you what I'm made of
Y que le puesto el pecho a todo lo que me has soltao'
And who has faced everything you've thrown at me
A mí, a mí no vida
To me, not to me life
A mí me das cosas lindas
You give me beautiful things
A mí me das cariño
You give me affection
A mí me das a mis niños
You give me my children
A mí me das a mi isla
You give me my island
A mí me das Puerto Rico
You give me Puerto Rico
Bueno a mí no me vengas con cuentos
Well, don't come to me with stories
Ni con sueños violentos que yo soy negro
Or violent dreams because I am black
Puesto pa' lo mío
Ready for what's mine
Orgulloso de mi caserío y de quien soy
Proud of my neighborhood and who I am
Por eso estoy donde estoy
That's why I am where I am
Tú que me has maltratao tanto
You who have mistreated me so much
Yo que te he pagao' con llanto
I who have paid you with tears
A mí tu no me vas a matar
You will not kill me
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
Tú que me has hecho tanto daño
You who have hurt me so much
Yo que te he pagao' con llanto
I who have paid you with tears
A mí me quieres tu matar
You want to kill me
Y no, y no, y no
And no, and no, and no
A mí que he corrio' por todas las calles de este caserío
Me who has run through all the streets of this neighborhood
Cuantos locos se han metio'
How many crazies have come in
A tratar de hacerse dueños de lo mío
Trying to take ownership of what's mine
Tú estás loca vida, a mí no
You're crazy life, not to me
