POR EL CONTRARIO English Translation Lyrics by Becky G
If it’s supposed that I’ve already forgotten you, that what we had rests in peace,
Tell me what I’m doing here alone, thinking about how you are.
Tell me if there’s another mouth that kisses you, if I’m still on your mind.
I want to know if you’ve covered my name with another name in a tattoo.
I, on the other hand, nearly lost my soul
To avoid feeling your goodbye that leaves me defenseless.
I tried to negotiate it with karma,
And it said: “Everything is settled, everything is settled.”
I, on the other hand, almost sold my soul
In exchange for living without feeling anything.
They say it’s clear in my eyes
That your memories hurt me, but they don’t kill me.
I wanted to speak to karma and ask it to let me forget your face,
To forgive me,
Because I feel you pointing, but you don’t pull the trigger.
I scream to God: “Why do you leave me alone?”
Sometimes I lie to see if I can feel I can breathe without you,
But you know that’s not the case; I know you’re well without me.
I, on the other hand, nearly lost my soul
To avoid feeling your goodbye that leaves me defenseless.
I tried to negotiate it with karma,
And it said: “Everything is settled, everything is settled.”
I, on the other hand, almost sold my soul
In exchange for living without feeling anything.
They say it’s clear in my eyes
That your memories hurt me, but they still don’t kill me.
Lai-la-la, la-la-la,
Woh-oh-oh,
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh,
That your memories hurt me, but they don’t kill me.
