You know better than anyone that I gave it my all

And I went all out to make this work

My consolation prize, this b*tch of a disappointment

You said you weren't capable of f*cking up my life

But I see myself at eighty with the same wound

You might regret it, but I won't forget it

That you don't give a sh*t

To see me lying on the floor from crying over you

And from missing you so much

You don't give a sh*t

To take everything and leave me on the street

As if I were nobody

I hope the one you love doesn't love you

So you can taste what it's like

You don't give a sh*t

To see me lying on the floor from crying over you

And from missing you so much

You don't give a sh*t

To take everything and leave me on the street

As if I were nobody

I hope the one you love doesn't love you

So you know what it's like

You don't give a sh*t

To see me lying on the floor from crying over you

And from missing you so much

But you don't give a sh*t

To take everything and leave me on the street

As if I were nobody

I hope the one you love doesn't love you

And when you least expect it, that they hurt you

So you can taste what it's like

What it's like

te vale madre — you don't give a damn

Te vale madre is a strong, idiomatic expression in Spanish that literally translates to "it's worth mother to you," but it's used to mean "you don't give a damn" or "you couldn't care less."

In this song, the phrase is used repeatedly to express the singer's frustration and hurt over their ex-partner's complete indifference to their pain and suffering. It's a raw and powerful way to convey a deep sense of betrayal and emotional neglect, making it a memorable and impactful phrase for learners.

This song is a super blunt breakup anthem about giving your all to a relationship, only for the other person to just not care. The singer says, "Tú mejor que nadie sabe que yo le eché ganas y me morí en la raya pa hacer que esto funcionara" [You know better than anyone that I tried hard and died on the line to make this work]. Ouch! They feel completely let down, calling their consolation prize "esta perra decepción" [this damn disappointment].

It's all about the pain of seeing your ex walk away without a second thought, even after all the effort you put in. The singer is left feeling like nothing, saying, "A ti te vale madre verme tirado en el piso por llorarte" [You don't care about seeing me on the floor crying for you] and "Llevarte todo y dejarme en la calle como si fuera nadie" [Taking everything and leaving me on the street as if I were nobody]. The ultimate wish for revenge? "Ojalá que al que tú quieras no te quiera pa' que pruebes a qué sabe" [I hope the one you love doesn't love you, so you can taste what it's like]. Talk about a bitter goodbye!
