Por Un Perro [Cumbia] Lyrics in English Juanes , Los Ángeles Azules

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Un Perro [Cumbia] by Juanes from Spanish to English.
Everything, everything was fine
I would say that at a hundred
Until the day I opened the door and saw you with him
Everything was pure love
Heat and passion
Until the day I started to sing this song at home
You finished me little by little
Making me believe that I was crazy
Oh love, what happened to you
Please, tell me that I'm wrong
How is it possible my love?
After I gave you all my time
The truth I can't believe it
You changed me for a dog
Pretty mama, just stop the game
You changed me for a dog
I wish that on no one
You changed me for a dog
I'm going straight to my burial
Because you changed me for a dog
It's that I see you and I can't believe it
You changed me for a dog
And here they are
Los Ángeles Azules
And your servant, Juanes, dad
From Iztapalapa
For the world
I imagine you in the bathroom, in the pool
From here to there, even to the corner
How you look at him, that it blows my mind
Doing what you did with me
Oh, tell me how many of your kisses
You have given to feed in the kitchen
Walks on Saturdays at the beach
Things that are not forgotten
You finished me little by little
Making me believe that I was crazy
Oh love, what happened to you
Please, tell me that I'm wrong
How is it possible my love?
After I gave you all my time
The truth I can't believe it
You changed me for a dog
Pretty mama, just stop the game
You changed me for a dog
I wish that on no one
You changed me for a dog
I'm going straight to my burial
Because you changed me for a dog
It's that I see you and I can't believe it
You changed me for a dog
Los Ángeles Azules
And Juanes

SONG MEANING
"Por Un Perro" is a vibrant cumbia song by Colombian artist Juanes, featuring the renowned group Los Ángeles Azules, that explores themes of heartbreak and betrayal through a playful yet poignant lens. The lyrics narrate the emotional turmoil of a man who, after experiencing a passionate and loving relationship, is devastated to discover that his partner has left him for someone else—symbolically referred to as "un perro" (a dog). This metaphor highlights the absurdity and pain of being replaced by someone deemed unworthy, as he reflects on the memories they shared and the love he invested in the relationship. With a catchy rhythm and heartfelt lyrics, the song captures the essence of love lost and the struggle to come to terms with a painful reality, all while inviting listeners to dance and engage with its infectious beat.
