Cinco Minutos Lyrics in English Gloria Trevi

Home / Lyrics Translation / Gloria Trevi / Cinco Minutos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cinco Minutos by Gloria Trevi from Spanish to English.

I'm tired of playing hide-and-seek

Don't look for me anymore, here I am

If I didn't show my face before, that's not cowardice

You know well how I am

I'm not good at

that going-backwards thing

The word 'come back'

Honestly, it makes me lazy

And even more

if it's about you

What do you want to say?

I'll give you five minutes, vent

Don't think that I have nothing else to do

And if I said hello it was pure courtesy

The last time

You were so happy, today you don't look so good

Life turns a thousand times, I warned you

Now you're down and I'm up

You forgot that you wouldn't even say good morning to me

When the other one showed up

Your attack plan doesn't work, there's no reconquest

With me, you missed the plane

And I'm sorry for you

You've lost your shame

What a pity you are

But I'm not your napkin

Get out of here

What else do you want from me?

What do you want to say?

I'll give you five minutes, vent

Don't think that I have nothing else to do

And if I said hello it was pure courtesy

The last time

You were so happy, today you don't look so good

Life turns a thousand times, I warned you

Now you're down and I'm up

I'll give you five minutes, vent

Don't think that I have nothing else to do

And if I said hello it was pure courtesy

The last time

You were so happy, today you don't look so good

Life turns a thousand times, I warned you

Now you're down and I'm up

Hey

What do you want to say?

I'll give you five minutes, vent

Don't think that I have nothing else to do

And if I said hello it was pure courtesy

Five, four, three, two, one

Hahaha

Out!

SONG MEANING

“Cinco Minutos” is a fiery, no-nonsense breakup anthem where Gloria Trevi flips the script on an ex who once took her for granted. Tired of “playing hide-and-seek,” she steps into the light, declaring she never moves in reverse and certainly will not “come back.” With razor-sharp wit, she offers him exactly five minutes to vent—nothing more—before sending him on his way. Her confidence crackles as she notes how the tables have turned: he is now “down” while she is “up,” a vivid reminder that life spins in unexpected circles.

The song brims with playful sarcasm and unapologetic self-empowerment. Trevi’s countdown—“Cinco, cuatro, tres, dos, uno… ¡Fuera!”—underscores her message: his time is up, her dignity is intact, and she is ready to keep soaring. It is both a warning and a celebration, teaching listeners that self-respect always deserves center stage—even if you only need five minutes to prove it.
