Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amarga Vida by Don Omar from Spanish to English.
Tú que me has maltratao tanto
You who've hurt me so much
Yo que te he pagao' tan caro
I paid you such a high price
A mí me quiere hacer llorar
Now you wanna make me cry
Y no, y no, y no, y no, y no
And no, and no, and no, and no, and no
Tú que me has maltratao' tanto
You who've hurt me so much
Yo que te he pagao' con llanto
I repaid you with tears
A mí me quiere hacer llorar
Now you wanna make me cry
Y no, y no, y no, y no, y no
And no, and no, and no, and no, and no
Amiga me tuve que parar debajo de la sombra a ver
Girl, I had to stand in the shade to see
Lo que es tener o no tener
What it is to have or not have
Lo que es ganar y perder
What it is to win and lose
Lo que es matarse los amigos por poder a mi vida
What it's like when friends kill each other for power, my life
Que te he demostrao de que estoy hecho
I've shown you what I'm made of
Y que le puesto el pecho a todo lo que me has soltao'
And I've faced everything you've thrown at me
A mí, a mí no vida
Not me, life
A mí me das cosas lindas
You give me pretty things
A mí me das cariño
You give me love
A mí me das a mis niños
You give me my kids
A mí me das a mi isla
You give me my island
A mí me das Puerto Rico
You give me Puerto Rico
Bueno a mí no me vengas con cuentos
Well, don't come at me with stories
Ni con sueños violentos que yo soy negro
Or with violent dreams, I'm Black
Puesto pa' lo mío
All about my own hustle
Orgulloso de mi caserío y de quien soy
Proud of my hood and of who I am
Por eso estoy donde estoy
That's why I'm where I'm
Tú que me has maltratao tanto
You who've hurt me so much
Yo que te he pagao' con llanto
I repaid you with tears
A mí tu no me vas a matar
You ain't killing me
No, no, no, no, no
No, no, no, no, no
Tú que me has hecho tanto daño
You who've hurt me so bad
Yo que te he pagao' con llanto
I repaid you with tears
A mí me quieres tu matar
Now you wanna kill me
Y no, y no, y no
And no, and no, and no
A mí que he corrio' por todas las calles de este caserío
Me, I've run through every street of this hood
Cuantos locos se han metio'
How many crazies have come in
A tratar de hacerse dueños de lo mío
Trying to claim what's mine
Tú estás loca vida, a mí no
You're crazy, life, not me
