Dime Qué Prefieres Lyrics in English La Adictiva

Home / Lyrics Translation / La Adictiva / Dime Qué Prefieres

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dime Qué Prefieres by La Adictiva from Spanish to English.

Maybe it doesn't suit you because I don't have money

Maybe you aspire to much more than a trip abroad

A car that takes you out to ride everywhere

I feel so small that it's hard for you to love me

I cannot offer you more than roses and songs

And go together each afternoon to watch the sun set

To be faithful and respect you like nobody has done before

You put on the scale a good love or the money

And tell me what you prefer

A trip to Paris with all expenses paid

With a man that wants you to give him pleasure for a while

Tell me if you're happy just because he gives you gifts

And tell me what you prefer

To fake a smile even though you're empty inside

To sacrifice your youth for a few pesos

While I offer you a pure and sincere heart

And tell me what you prefer

To sell yourself simply for pleasure and without meaning

To let a stranger unbutton your dress

Who doesn't even know at least your last name

Tell me what you prefer

To be just the pastime of someone that doesn't care about you

To throw in the trash so many beautiful things

That I can give you if you noticed me

And tell me what you prefer

A trip to Paris with all expenses paid

With a man that wants you to give him pleasure for a while

Tell me if you're happy just because he gives you gifts

And tell me what you prefer

To fake a smile even though you're empty inside

To sacrifice your youth for a few pesos

While I offer you a pure and sincere heart

And tell me what you prefer

To sell yourself simply for pleasure and without meaning

To let a stranger unbutton your dress

Who doesn't even know at least your last name

Tell me what you prefer

To be just the pastime of someone that doesn't care about you

To throw in the trash so many beautiful things

That I can give you if you noticed me

SONG MEANING

Dime Qué Prefieres is a heartfelt banda ballad where the singer lays his cards on the table. He has no flashy car, no Paris vacation, no wallet bursting with cash. What he does have is a bouquet of roses, serenades at sunset, and a promise to be faithful and respectful. In every verse he draws a vivid contrast: material luxury with a hollow lover versus sincere affection with a modest dreamer.

The chorus becomes a gentle challenge: “Tell me what you prefer.” Will she trade her youth and happiness for gifts and trips with someone who barely remembers her name, or choose the simple but genuine love he offers? The song invites listeners to weigh superficial glamour against authentic emotional riches, reminding us that true value is measured not in pesos but in devotion.
