Ay! San Miguel Lyrics Translation (from “Better Late Than Never”)

Romeo Santos tells Saint Michael to protect his woman and their relationship. He says that anyone betting on his failure will lose their money and time. Prince Royce joins in with a prayer for divine defense.

Ay San Miguel Destruye Al MaleficioOh, Saint Michael, destroy the evil curse.
De Lo Malo Protege A Mi AmorcitoProtect my sweetheart from everything bad.
En Nombre De Dios Rompe Ese HechizoIn the name of God, break that spell.
Con Tu Espada Vence Al EnemigoDefeat the enemy with your sword.
Bori’‘Puerto Rican’.
Que Saquen El RomoBring out the ‘rum’.
Que Llegué Con Los GuerrerosSince I’ve arrived with the warriors.
Alguien Me Hizo Vudú Para Augurar Que Ella Me Deje De AmarSomeone cast ‘voodoo’ on me to predict she’d stop loving me.
Tengo Una Virtud A Mí Me Cuida San MiguelI’ve a virtue; Saint Michael’s watching over me.
Con Fe Yo Lo Invoco A Él Me Protejo Con Un AmuletoI call upon him with faith, and I’m protecting myself with an amulet.
Todo Mal Se Desvanece En El Mar Va A Quebrar En Nombre De JesúsAll evil’s fading into the sea; it’ll break in the name of Jesus.
La Bruja Me Lo Dijo Me Hicieron Un HechizoThe witch told me they’ve cast a spell on me.
Con Alfileres Clavando Un MuñequitoThey’re sticking pins into a little ‘voodoo’ doll.
Pobre Gallina Se J#dió El ChivitoPoor chicken; the little goat’s ‘done for’.
Lo Sacrificaron Y Ella Y Yo JuntitosThey sacrificed it, but she and I are still together.
También Me Dijo Que Cuide Mi AlrededorShe also told me to watch my surroundings.
La Envidia Está Presente Para Todo El Que TriunfóEnvy’s present for everyone who’s succeeded.
En Mi Mente Crucificaron A DiosIn my mind, they’ve crucified God.
Tus Planes No Se Los Cuente’ Al PrójimoDon’t tell your plans to your neighbor.
Cúbreme Desde El CieloWatch over me from heaven.
Ay ChiChiOh, ChiChi.
El Que Apueste A Mi Fra-caso Va A Perder Su Dinero Y Su Tiempo TambiénWhoever bets on my failure’s going to lose their money and their time, too.
Dios Mío Dale Salud A Mis Envidiosos Pa’ Que Me Vean VencerMy God, give my envious enemies health so they’ll see me win.
San Miguel Cuídame A Mi Mujer Y Resguarda Mi Relación Con EllaSaint Michael, watch over my woman and protect my relationship with her.
Todo Mal Se Desvanece En El Mar Va A Quebrar En Nombre De JesúsAll evil’s fading into the sea; it’ll break in the name of Jesus.
