El Otro Era Yo

The Other Was Me

El Otro Era Yo

What happened?¿Qué ha pasa'o?
It has already arrivedYa ha llega'o
The white guy is crazyEl blanquito to' flipa'o
Who eats the poles in winterQue se come los polos en invierno
And leave the butter for summerY deja pa'l verano los manteca'os
He forgot to pick it up because on the way he was going to soba'oSe ha olvida'o recogerla porque de camino iba to' soba'o
We have to focus on putting it where the path is all the wayTo' centra'o en ponerla donde el senderito está to' valla'o

Don't tell me stories and movementsNo me cuentes historias y movidas
I try, but I forgetYo lo intento, pero es que se me olvidan
Neither pride nor my bastard ego can prove me right if I have any drink left in the glassNi el orgullo, ni mi ego cabrón me brindan la razón si en el vaso me queda bebida
Sing to me whatever you wantCántame to' lo que tú quieras
I like your pretty face, I say it right awayMe gusta tu carita bonita, lo digo de primeras
I'm going out with my handYo de la manita vamo' pa' fuera
I'll take you to the beach, aloneTe llevo a la playita, solita
And we look at the palm treesY miramos las palmeras

One step forward, two steps backUn pasito pa' a'lante, dos pasitos pa' atrás
I'm a mess, you let yourself get messed upYo que soy un liante, tú te dejas liar
One step forward, two steps backUn pasito pa' a'lante, dos pasitos pa' atrás
I see you interesting, don't be interested'Te veo interesante, no seas interesá'
One step forward, two steps backUn pasito pa' a'lante, dos pasitos pa' atrás
I'm a mess, you let yourself get messed upYo que soy un liante, tú te dejas liar
One step forward, two steps backUn pasito pa' a'lante, dos pasitos pa' atrás
I see you interesting, don't be interested'Te veo interesante, no seas interesá'

I no longer differentiate merengue and bachataYa no diferencio merengue y bachata
Sorry if I'm slow because of this smokeSorry si voy lento por esta fumata
And the cat in the silver robe kills meY me mata la gata con bata de plata
It betrays me, ties me up and makes me ungratefulDelata, me ata y me cata de ingrata
I no longer differentiate ass and piñataYa no diferencio culito y piñata
Sorry if I'm slow, the fucking cubasSorry si voy lento, los putos cubatas
The cat in the silver robe kills meMe mata la gata con bata de plata
It betrays me, ties me up and makes me ungratefulDelata, me ata y me cata de ingrata

Hard daring nightDura noche atrevida
I have entry and you go exitTengo entrada y tú vas salida
If they ask you are my friendSi preguntan tú eres mi amiga
I won't forget, I won't forgetNo se me olvida, no se me olvida
You don't have much saliva leftNo te queda mucha saliva
To fulfill my expectationsPa' cumplir mis expectativas
From below I find out aboveDesde abajo me entero arriba
That it was a lie, that it was a lieQue era mentira, que era mentira

seduces me aheadMe seduce por delante
But he puts it behind mePero me la mete doblá' detrás
He has the courage to shout: FakerTiene valor a gritar: Farsante
How elegant Satan cameQué elegante vino Satán
You know the story wellSe sabe bien el cuento
It doesn't take much to memorizeNo le cuesta mucho memorizar
I slow down my paceMe baja el ritmo a lento
I'm not getting angry, just a little while longerVa que no me enfado, un ratito más

In my sightsEn mi punto de mira
I'll take you if I go on tourTe llevaré si me voy de gira
That I mess a lot and I am clear about what you aspire toQue yo ensucio mucho y tengo claro a lo que aspiras
Look, it may not be for all of lifeMira, puede que no sea pa' to'a la vida
Piqué told me that he is no longer with ShakiraMe ha conta'o Piqué que ya no está con la Shakira

Smell your breath in motionOler tu aliento en movimiento
The rarest monument in all the conventEl monumento más rarito de to' el convento
Bring discount (shh-shh)Trae descuento (shh-shh)
They are going to kick us outNos van a echa-cha-chaar

One step forward, two steps backUn pasito pa' a'lante, dos pasitos pa' atrás
I am a troublemaker, you let yourself be troubledYo que soy un liante, tú te dejas liar
One step forward, two steps backUn pasito pa' a'lante, dos pasitos pa' atrás
I see you interesting, don't be interested'Te veo interesante, no seas interesá'

(Auntie, I've scratched myself, you're freaking out because)(Tía me he rayado que flipas porque)
(I've seen some photos and I thought there was another one)(He visto unas fotos y pensaba que había otro)
(But I have started to look at the dates)(Pero me he puesto a ver las fechas)
(And I have realized that the other is me)(Y me he da'o cuenta de que el otro soy yo)
