Verse 1

You tell me that it's not true that you're dying for me

If it's true that you don't like me, don't come close like this

They told me that you love when they die for you

Looking for someone who falls in love to make him suffer

Or: Looking for the one who falls in love (with you) (just) to make him suffer

Prechorus 1

If you tell me that you love me, I'm not going to believe you

You tell me that you love me and you can't be faithful

Or: You say you want me but you can't be faithful

You left me driving alone and sad woman

I confess if you want to know, if you want to know

Chorus 1

Treacherous, I don't care that you love me

Liar, you just want me to die from love

Treacherous, in my life you were fleeting

Or: Betrayer, in my life you were just a passenger

Liar, I don't care that you die from love

Verse 2

You live dancing reggaeton

Reggaeton is a style of popular and electronic music that originated in Panama during the late 1980s, later popularized in Puerto Rico

And you don't care at all what the heart feels

You only care about the pants

The word 'pantalón' refers to pants or clothing in general

And you can tell from afar your evil intention

Or: And your evil intentions are obvious from far away

And look it's not so easy

Falling in love was never so easy

When you're near me, it's not easy

And life became difficult, just because of you

Prechorus 2

If you tell me that you love me, I'm not going to believe you

You tell me that you love me and you can't be faithful

You left me driving alone and sad woman

I confess if you want to know, if you want to know

Chorus 2

Treacherous, I don't care that you love me

Liar, you just want me to die from love

Treacherous, in my life you were fleeting

Liar, I don't care that you die from love

You tell me that it's not true that you're dying for me

If it's true that you don't like me, don't come close like this

Chorus 3

Treacherous, I don't care that you love me

Liar, you just want me to die from love

Treacherous, in my life you were fleeting

Liar, I don't care that you die from love

maléfica — malevolent / evil

maléfica translates to 'malevolent' or 'evil'. You might recognize it from the famous Disney villain, Maleficent, whose name in Spanish is Maléfica!

In this song, Sebastián Yatra uses this powerful adjective to describe the woman's intentions. He sings, "se te nota desde lejos tu maléfica intención" (your evil intention is noticeable from afar), accusing her of plotting to break his heart from the very beginning. It's a dramatic and memorable word that perfectly captures the song's fiery tone.

Colombian pop artist Sebastián Yatra calls out a heartbreaker who plays games just to watch people suffer. Right from the start, he calls her bluff: she acts distant with words like "no te gusto" [you don't like me], yet she leans in close anyway ("no te acerques así" [don't come close like that]). People warned him that she hunts for someone to fall for her just to make them hurt ("para hacerlo sufrir"), and he ends up completely abandoned, literally left "manejando solo y triste" [driving alone and sad].

Instead of begging her to come back, Yatra hits her with two direct labels: "traicionera" [traitor/backstabber] and "mentirosa" [liar]. He mocks her shallow motives, calling out how she lives for dancing reggaeton while ignoring what anyone feels ("no te importa para nada lo que sienta el corazón"). By the time the chorus drops, he turns the tables. She was just passing through his life ("en mi vida fuiste pasajera"), and now he refuses to care if she is the one heartbroken in the end.
