Ah
Ah
Voy a pagar toda la penitencia (ajá)
I'm going to pay all the penance (uh-huh)
No hay adivino pa' saber qué piensas (no)
There's no fortune teller to know what you think (no)
Para dejarnos no tuvo conciencia
To leave us, she had no conscience
Ahora tengo el corazón dentro de una sala de urgencias (ah)
Now I have my heart inside an emergency room (ah)
Salgo temprano pero vuelvo tarde
I leave early but come back late
Mejor no esperes mis ganas de amarte (nah)
Better not expect my desire to love you (nah)
Vivo muy loco para enamorarte
I live too crazy to make you fall in love
Y cuando canto por los sábados le llaman arte (arte)
And when I sing on Saturdays, they call it art (art)
Crecí en San Luis pero soy de Marte (Marte)
I grew up in San Luis but I'm from Mars (Mars)
Después te cuento ese trip aparte
Later I'll tell you that trip separately
Voltea aquí arriba pa' iluminarte (arriba)
Look up here to enlighten you (up)
Y ahora que me encuentro roto tengo más para contarte
And now that I'm broken, I have more to tell you
Siempre voy a querer todo mi vida va en una rueda
I'll always want everything, my life is on a wheel
Soy adicto a tus lunares, tus labios y la moneda
I'm addicted to your moles, your lips, and money
Adicto a los diamantes y al amor en primavera
Addicted to diamonds and love in spring
Soy tu fan número uno cuando meneas la cadera
I'm your number one fan when you sway your hips
Y así fue (eh eh)
And so it was (eh eh)
Que la vida dijo que yo tenía lo suficiente pa' ser feliz (ih-ih-ih-ih)
That life said I had enough to be happy (ih-ih-ih-ih)
Y ahora qué (eh eh)
And now what (eh eh)
Me gano la vida cantando todo lo que yo sentía por ti (ih-ih-ih-ih)
I earn a living singing everything I felt for you (ih-ih-ih-ih)
Mami, me gustas pero no
Babe, I like you but no
No tengo tiempo pa' buscarte
I don't have time to look for you
Mami, me gustas pero no
Babe, I like you but no
No tengo tiempo pa' cuidarte
I don't have time to take care of you
Mami, me gustas pero no
Babe, I like you but no
No tengo tiempo pa' buscarte
I don't have time to look for you
Mami, me gustas pero no
Babe, I like you but no
No tengo tiempo pa' cuidarte
I don't have time to take care of you
Yo salí de casa, mai, con sólo una misión
I left home, mom, with only one mission
Ser el orgullo de mami sin pisar una prisión
To be mom's pride without stepping foot in prison
Se puso duro el ruedo hice de tripas corazón
The arena got tough, I plucked up courage
Pero son fuertes los niños que salen del callejón
But the kids who come out of the alley are strong
Y así soy yo
And that's how I am
Escribo canciones pa' ganarme mi dinero, baby así soy yo
I write songs to earn my money, baby that's how I am
No soy para ti mejor guarda tus 'te quieros'
I'm not for you, better save your 'I love yous'
Para alguien que te mime y que te espere en casa
For someone who pampers you and waits for you at home
Que cumpla tus deseos, sepa qué te pasa
Who fulfills your wishes, knows what's wrong with you
Pero tú que me conoces sabes que no soy así
But you who know me, know I'm not like that
Yo soy un buen hombre más no bueno para ti
I am a good man but not good for you
La penitencia siempre fue tu ausencia
The penance was always your absence
O es la creencia de lo que unos piensan
Or it's the belief of what some think
Leer tus ojos nunca fue una ciencia
Reading your eyes was never a science
Y para el mal de amores sirve la paciencia
And for lovesickness, patience helps
Esa advertencia siempre la vi en tu mirada
I always saw that warning in your gaze
Como las letras chicas del contrato que firmaba
Like the small print of the contract I signed
Tu sonrisa tan perfecta y tus ganas de ser amada
Your perfect smile and your desire to be loved
Yo aquí abriendo la coraza pa' que me dejes sin nada
Me here opening my shell so you leave me with nothing
Estoy de nuevo a solas en este sillón
I'm alone again on this couch
Tú con vestido nuevo bailando en un salón
You in a new dress dancing in a hall
Solito, a fin de cuentas es mi profesión
All alone, after all, it's my profession
Con un letrero enorme que dice 'en reparación'
With a huge sign that says 'under repair'
Era su mirada por la mañana
It was her gaze in the morning
La penitencia que me quedaba
The penance that remained for me
El tiempo corre y no me esperaba
Time runs and didn't wait for me
La penitencia está en tu mirada
The penance is in your gaze
Era su mirada por la mañana
It was her gaze in the morning
La penitencia que me quedaba
The penance that remained for me
El tiempo corre y no me esperaba
Time runs and didn't wait for me
La penitencia está en tu mirada
The penance is in your gaze
Mami, me gustas pero no
Babe, I like you but no
No tengo tiempo pa' buscarte
I don't have time to look for you
Mami, me gustas pero no
Babe, I like you but no
No tengo tiempo pa' cuidarte
I don't have time to take care of you
Mami, me gustas pero no
Babe, I like you but no
No tengo tiempo pa' buscarte
I don't have time to look for you
Mami, me gustas pero no
Babe, I like you but no
No tengo tiempo pa' cuidarte
I don't have time to take care of you
