Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mi Enfermedad by Fabiana Cantilo from Spanish to English.

Chorus 1

I'm defeated because the world made me like this, I can't change

I'm the remedy without a prescription and your love, my disease

I'm defeated because the body of the two of us is my weakness

This time the pain's gonna end

Verse 1

It seems that the party ended

Lost in the tunnel of love

And the pages of the book that I read the most say

This time the slave escaped

Chorus 2

I give myself to wine because the world made me like this, I can't change

I'm the remedy without a prescription and your love, my disease

I'm defeated because the body of the two of us is my weakness

This time the pain's gonna end

Verse 2

From the tree a leaf fell

In my mouth the apple rotted

You'd have to learn to ask for forgiveness

This time the chain broke

Bridge

You'd have to learn to ask for forgiveness

This time the slave escaped

Chorus 3

I'm defeated because the world made me like this, I can't change

I'm the remedy without a prescription and your love, my disease

I'm defeated because the body of the two of us is my weakness

This time the pain's gonna end

SONG MEANING

Fabiana Cantilo sings Mi Enfermedad like a late-night confession, turning a love story upside down. The narrator feels “defeated because the world made me this way” and admits she can’t change, yet she also calls herself “the remedy without a prescription.” The twist? Her partner’s love is the very “illness” she can’t shake. With images of a party that’s already over, a leaf that falls, and a bitten apple that rots, the lyrics paint an addictive, almost toxic romance where pleasure and pain blur together.

Instead of pleading for reconciliation, the song flirts with rebellion. The singer numbs herself with wine, declares that “this time the chain has broken,” and watches the “slave escape.” It’s a bittersweet anthem of self-awareness: recognizing that some passions infect us like diseases, yet finding the strength to walk away when the cure hurts more than the sickness. Cantilo wraps that message in catchy rock melodies, making heartache feel both raw and irresistibly sing-along worthy.
