Verse 1
You asked me for time, I gave you your moment
Tell me if you've managed to erase this feeling
His kisses aren't worth it if I am who makes you hot
Or: His kisses aren't worth it if I'm the one who turns you on
Chorus 1
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
Or: He doesn't take you where I took you
You think of me, I think of you
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
Verse 1
We had a deal and you broke the contract
You believed the story and you continued with your outburst
You thought he was a king, but he's a toad
You tell me and when you want I rescue you
To fix ours and to end that relationship
He doesn't make you happy, I know that I'm right
'Tener la razón' translates directly as 'to have reason', but it means 'to be right'
While with me the equation is perfect
To turn you on I turn on the passion
'Calentar' is a verb meaning 'to heat', 'to warm up', but it is also colloquially used as 'to turn on' / 'to get turned on' / 'to get aroused'
To fix ours and to end that relationship
He doesn't make you happy, I know that I'm right
While with me the equation is perfect
To turn you on I turn on the occasion
Or: To make you feel hotter / To warm you up / To turn you on, I set the mood
Chorus 2
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
Verse 2
That he gives you everything, I know that story
And the next day after the party you feel alone
You know that it doesn't work, I live in your memory
Lit: You know that that doesn't go, I live in your memory
If you know that you failed, don't sing victory
Or: If you know you failed, don't claim victory
How you and I do it, how we know each other
That I'm the owner of your parts
'Partes' is usually used in a sexually suggestive way, meaning 'private parts'
Baby, when do we see each other? And when do we eat each other?
Or: Babe, when will we see each other? And when will we hook up?
Chorus 3
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
