Verse 1

You're drunk

You call me only if you're drunk

You call me because sober you're not so macho

I know it because you always get so nasty

If you're drunk

And now don't hide

I'll be able to be good, but never a fool

Friend, pour me a very big drink

To forget that they cheated on me

I also get drunk

Chorus 1

I'm going to drink, drink, drink, drink, drink

I'm going to sing and shout and swear that I'm not your woman

And you're going to cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

And it's going to hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt

You're going to suffer when you see that I'm fine without you

You're not macho, you're unfaithful

Verse 2

And I'm drunk

But you know well that it's not for the same reason

If I drink it's not to erase your mirage

I'm going to pour tequila and salt on this wound

And on your cynicism, and don't ask me for forgiveness anymore, no

Find another one, because this one didn't believe you

And you want to follow me again

You want to suffer, can't you see that I'm better, better without you?

Chorus 2

And now I'm going to drink, drink, drink, drink, drink

I'm going to drink, drink, drink, drink, drink

I'm going to shout, cry and swear that I'm not your woman

And you're going to cry, cry, cry, cry, cry

And it's going to hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt, hurt

You're going to suffer when you see that I'm fine without you

You're not macho, you're unfaithful

And you're drunk

me pusieron los cachos — they cheated on me

Me pusieron los cachos literally translates to "they put the horns on me". It's a classic and colorful idiom used across the Spanish-speaking world to express that someone's partner was unfaithful.

In this defiant anthem, Maria Becerra sings this to explain the real reason she's drinking, creating a powerful image of betrayal. Learning this common phrase is a huge step towards understanding the dramatic and emotional expressions used in real-world Spanish.

Argentinian star Maria Becerra teams up with Gloria Trevi for a total power move of a song. It all starts with a guy who only has the courage to call when he's drunk. She's completely over it, telling him, "Me llamas solamente si estás borracho" (You only call me if you're drunk) and "Me llamas porque sobrio no eres tan macho" (You call me because when you're sober you're not so tough).

She knows he cheated, singing about needing a drink "Para olvidar que me pusieron los cachos" (To forget that they cheated on me). But her solution isn't to take him back. Instead, she decides, "Yo también me emborracho" (I'm getting drunk too). She's going to drink, sing, and scream that she's not his woman anymore. The best part is her prediction for him: "Y vas a llorar, llorar, llorar... Y te va a doler, doler, doler" (And you're going to cry, cry, cry... And it's going to hurt, hurt, hurt) when he sees how well she's doing without him. She ends with the ultimate burn: "Vos no sos macho, vos sos infiel" (You're not a tough guy, you're a cheater).
