El Merengue Lyrics Translation (from “Sugar Papi”)

Manuel Turizo sings about the pain of heartbreak and the struggle to move on. He tells of drinking to forget, but the memories linger. The lyrics describe the difference between being alone and being alone while still in love.

Vamo’ ListoLet’s go, we’re ready.
Salud Muchachos Por Esa MujerCheers, guys, to that woman.
‘Toy Cansao De Pensarte Con El Pecho RotoI’m tired of thinking about you with a broken heart.
Hay Sol Pero Hace Frio Desde Que No EstasThe sun is out, but it’s been cold since you’ve been gone.
Me Paso Tomando Mirando Tus FotosI spend my time drinking while staring at your photos.
Queriendo Borrarla’ Pero No Me DaI want to delete them, but I just can’t bring myself to do it.
Hubiera Dicho Lo Que Siento Pa’ No Dejar Na’ GuardaoI should’ve said what I felt so I wouldn’t keep anything bottled up.
Los Besos Que No Te Di Te Lo’ Hubiera RobaoThe kisses I didn’t give you, I should’ve just stolen them from you.
Extrañarte Me Tiene Con Los Ojo’ Colorao’Missing you has left my eyes bloodshot and red.
No E’ Lo Mismo Estar Solo Que Estar Solo EnamoraoIt’s not the same to be alone as it is to be alone and in love.
Dije Que Te Olvidé Pero No Te Habia Olvidado (No Te Habia Olvidado)I said I forgot you, but I hadn’t forgotten you (I hadn’t forgotten you).
Ay Ay AyAy, ay, ay.
Tambien Dije Que Te Superé Y No Te Habia Superado (No Te Habia Superado)I also said I was over you, but I hadn’t moved on (I hadn’t moved on).
Borracho Dije Que Ya Te Olvidé Pero No Te Habia Olvidado (No Te Habia Olvidado)While drunk, I said I’d already forgotten you, but I hadn’t forgotten you (I hadn’t forgotten you).
Ay Ay AyAy, ay, ay.
Tambien Dije Que Te Superé Y No Te Habia Superado (No Te Habia Superado)I also said I was over you, but I hadn’t moved on (I hadn’t moved on).
Y Entrando A La Disco La Miré La Miré La MiréAnd walking into the club, I saw her, I saw her, I saw her.
Y Estaba Bailando Sola Bailando SolaAnd she was dancing alone, dancing all by herself.
Me Le Pegué Me Pegué Me PeguéI moved in close, I got close, I got right next to her.
Y Asi Se Fueron Las Horas Un Par De HorasAnd that’s how the hours slipped away, just a couple of hours.
Dime Sin Pena Solo DimeTell me without hesitation, just tell me.
Pideme Lo Que Quieras Menos Que Yo Te OlvideAsk me for anything, except for me to forget you.
Cuando Uno Está Tomando Las Palabras No MideWhen someone’s drinking, they don’t weigh their words.
Hoy Te Pido Perdón Si Algun Dia BorrachoToday I ask your forgiveness if one day, while drunk,
Dije Que Te Olvidé Pero No Te Habia Olvidado (No Te Habia Olvidado)I said I forgot you, but I hadn’t forgotten you (I hadn’t forgotten you).
Ay Ay AyAy, ay, ay.
Tambien Dije Que Te Superé Y No Te Habia Superado (No Te Habia Superado)I also said I was over you, but I hadn’t moved on (I hadn’t moved on).
Borracho Dije Que Ya Te Olvidé Pero No Te Habia Olvidado (No Te Habia Olvidado)While drunk, I said I’d already forgotten you, but I hadn’t forgotten you (I hadn’t forgotten you).
Ay Ay AyAy, ay, ay.
Tambien Dije Que Te Superé Y No Te Habia Superado (No Te Habia Superado)I also said I was over you, but I hadn’t moved on (I hadn’t moved on).
Entrando A La Disco La Miré La Miré La MiréWalking into the club, I saw her, I saw her, I saw her.
Y Estaba Bailando Sola Bailando SolaAnd she was dancing alone, dancing all by herself.
Me Le Pegué Me Pegué Me PeguéI moved in close, I got close, I got right next to her.
Y Asi Se Fueron Las Horas Un Par De HorasAnd that’s how the hours slipped away, just a couple of hours.
La Miré La Miré La MiréI saw her, I saw her, I saw her.
Y Estaba Bailando Sola Bailando SolaAnd she was dancing alone, dancing all by herself.
Me Le Pegué Me Pegué Me PeguéI drew near, I got close, I moved in right beside her.
Y Asi Se Fueron Las Horas Un Par De HorasAnd that’s how the hours slipped away, just a couple of hours.
OpaOpa!
Cómo Te Voy A Olvidar Yo A TiHow could I ever forget you?
Esta Noche Me Sacan De Aqui BorrachoTonight they’re carrying me out of here drunk,
Y ContigoAnd with you.
Si SeñorYes, sir.
Por Ti MujerBecause of you, woman.
Salú’Cheers.
