Cuando estás bien te alejas de mí
Te sientes sola y siempre estoy ahí

You feel alone and I'm always there

Then give me what you got there

But when I saw you, I swear to you that I decided

I stopped believing in love
I stopped feeling

I only know how to suffer

My breathing stops for you, I'm sorry baby

Cure me, cure me woman

Después de ti yo termine siendo uno más

There are several things that we have to try

No hay nada como ella, ni siquiera me encontró
Recuerdo todavía la vez que la besé

There's nothing like her, she didn't even find me
I remember still the time I kissed her
She was my first love and now I'm writing her song
19. Baila Conmigo (Dance with me)
Selena Gomez, Rauw Alejandro
Bebé, no sé si hablas mucho español
Si entiendes cuando digo 'mi amor'
Comernos sin entendernos es mejor
Solo tenemos que gustarnos
Babe, I don't know if you speak much Spanish
If you understand when I say 'my love'
Eating each other without understanding is better
We just have to like each other

Selena
Yo te di todo mi amor y más
Y tú no reconoces ni lo que es amar
Yo me puse dispuesta a tus pies

And you don't even recognize what it is to love
I put myself ready at your feet
And only with contempt you have paid me but now go
21. Celoso (Jealous)
Lele Pons
Cinco de la mañana tú me llamas
Solo pa' ver quien está en mi cama
Yo no tengo tiempo pa' tus dramas
A mí no me llames a la cinco de la mañana
Five in the morning you call me
Just to see who is in my bed
I don't have time for your drama
Don't call me at five in the morning
In "Celoso" by Lele Pons, the singer expresses her independence and freedom to do what she wants without being controlled by her partner. She refuses to be called at 5am to check who is in her bed, and instead wants to go out and enjoy herself without any judgement. She also refuses to be bought with expensive drinks and insists that she works for her own money. The chorus emphasizes her point by repeating that her partner gets jealous when she is with someone else, but she is not theirs nor anyone else's.
22. Úsame (Use me)
RUGGERO, Dvicio
Baby qué peligro despertarme a tu lado
Una noche y me dejaste enredado
Y yo que pensé que ya te había olvidado
Bastó un beso para estar equivocado
Baby what danger to wake up by your side
One night and you left me entangled
And I thought that I had already forgotten you
One kiss was enough to be mistaken
23. Clandestino (Clandestine)
Shakira, Maluma
Sabes que no nos conviene
Que la gente sepa lo que ambos tenemos
Que comemos de una fruta prohibida
Nos encanta y lo sabemos
You know it doesn't suit us
That people know what we both have
That we eat from a forbidden fruit
We love it and we know it
