Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Un Perro [Cumbia] by Juanes from Spanish to English.

Todo, todo iba bien

Everything, everything was fine

Yo diría que al cien

I would say that at a hundred

Hasta el día que abrí la puerta y te vi con él

Until the day I opened the door and saw you with him

Todo era puro amor

Everything was pure love

Calentura y pasión

Heat and passion

Hasta el día que empecé a cantar en casa esta canción

Until the day I started to sing this song at home

Me acabaste poco a poco

You finished me little by little

Dándome a creer que estaba loco

Making me believe that I was crazy

Ay amor, qué te pasó

Oh love, what happened to you

Por favor, dime que me equivoco

Please, tell me that I'm wrong

¿Cómo es posible mi amor?

How is it possible my love?

Después que te di todo mi tiempo

After I gave you all my time

La verdad no me lo creo

The truth I can't believe it

Me cambiaste por un perro

You changed me for a dog

Mamita linda, ya deja el juego

Pretty mama, just stop the game

Me cambiaste por un perro

You changed me for a dog

A nadie eso se lo deseo

I wish that on no one

Me cambiaste por un perro

You changed me for a dog

Voy directito pa' mi entierro

I'm going straight to my burial

Porque me cambiaste por un perro

Because you changed me for a dog

Es que te veo y no me lo creo

It's that I see you and I can't believe it

Me cambiaste por un perro

You changed me for a dog

Y aquí están

And here they are

Los Ángeles Azules

Y su servilleta, Juanes, papá

And your servant, Juanes, dad

De Iztapalapa

Para el mundo

For the world

Te imagino en el baño, en la piscina

I imagine you in the bathroom, in the pool

De aquí pa' allá, hasta pa la esquina

From here to there, even to the corner

Como lo miras, que me vuela el coco

How you look at him, that it blows my mind

Haciendo lo que conmigo hacías

Doing what you did with me

Ay, dime cuántos de tus besos

Oh, tell me how many of your kisses

Le has dado de comer en la cocina

You have given to feed in the kitchen

Paseo los sábados en la playa

Walks on Saturdays at the beach

Cosas que no se olvidan

Things that are not forgotten

Me acabaste poco a poco

You finished me little by little

Dándome a creer que estaba loco

Making me believe that I was crazy

Ay amor, qué te pasó

Oh love, what happened to you

Por favor, dime que me equivoco

Please, tell me that I'm wrong

Cómo es posible mi amor

How is it possible my love?

Después que te di todo mi tiempo

After I gave you all my time

La verdad no me lo creo

The truth I can't believe it

Me cambiaste por un perro

You changed me for a dog

Mamita linda, ya deja el juego

Pretty mama, just stop the game

Me cambiaste por un perro

You changed me for a dog

A nadie eso se lo deseo

I wish that on no one

Me cambiaste por un perro

You changed me for a dog

Voy directito pa mi entierro

I'm going straight to my burial

Porque me cambiaste por un perro

Because you changed me for a dog

Es que te veo y no me lo creo
