Te Abandonó Lyrics in English Don Omar

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Te Abandonó by Don Omar from Spanish to English.
I always told you
that that guy's no good for you
Love isn't fair
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Eyes that don't see
Heart that doesn't feel
Now it's different
Chorus 1
He abandoned you
And now he comes asking you for forgiveness
It's up to you that you forgive him
that he betrays you again
Chorus 1
How dumb that a**hole is
He abandoned you
He abandoned you
And now he comes asking you for forgiveness
It's up to you that you forgive him
that he betrays you again
Chorus 1
How dumb that a**hole is
He abandoned you
And you have a power that even you didn't know about
Why the f*ck do you miss being bored?
Tell me one good thing that the a**hole did for you
He'd put it all in, but you didn't come
He acted like nothing, and you were fed up
He paid with his wallet and with what he had
The stories he told, you believed them
You were left empty
It's just that I don't know
Why you drop your standards
You're for getting taken to hotels
You're f*cked because you want to
It's just that I don't know
Why do you drop your standards
You're for getting taken to hotels
You're f*cked because now
He abandoned you
And now he comes asking you for forgiveness
It's up to you that you forgive him
that he betrays you again
How dumb that a**hole is
He abandoned you
He abandoned you
And now he comes asking you for forgiveness
It's up to you that you forgive him
that he betrays you again
How dumb that a**hole is
He abandoned you
I always told you
that that guy's no good for you
Love isn't fair
Sometimes you win, sometimes you lose
Eyes that don't see
Heart that doesn't feel
Now it's different
D-d-d, Don

SONG MEANING

Don Omar, the Puerto Rican reggaetón powerhouse, turns heartbreak into a wake-up call in “Te Abandonó.” The lyrics paint a vivid scene: a woman’s unworthy partner walked out on her, then tries to crawl back with apologies. The narrator—part friend, part bold commentator—keeps saying “I told you so!” while highlighting how love can be unfair: sometimes you win, sometimes you lose. Repeating the punchy hook “Te abandonó” drives home that the guy’s betrayal is no secret anymore.

Yet the song is more than a scolding. Don Omar fires up a message of self-worth and empowerment. He reminds her of the power she never knew she had, urges her not to settle, and exposes the ex’s empty promises. With playful bravado and catchy rhythm, the track celebrates choosing dignity over toxic love, leaving listeners dancing while shouting, “¡Qué bobo ese cabrón!”
