Te corté de raíz y ahora dónde ponerte decido yoI cut you out at the root, and now I’m the one who decides where you belong.
Que se muera mi florLet this love of mine die.
Difícil me la pusoShe made things difficult for me.
Acabo de ver en mi carro que su cartera se quedóI’ve just noticed her purse was left in my car.
A propósito la dejóShe left it there on purpose.
Siempre pone una excusa pa’ volverme a verShe’s always making excuses to see me again.
Después que peleamo’ me lo quiere hacerAfter we fight, she wants to get intimate.
Con solo un beso se me olvidóWith just one kiss, I forgot,
Todo lo que ella me hizoeverything she did to me.
Aquella noche que volvisteThat night you came back,
Llorando me convencisteyou convinced me with your tears,
Que tú no quería’ hacerme dañothat you didn’t want to hurt me.
