¿Con Quién Se Queda El Perro? Lyrics in English Jesse & Joy

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ¿Con Quién Se Queda El Perro? by Jesse & Joy from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
You say that the couch treats you well
Even though it's a bit cold
Verse 1
The bed isn't bad even though you're not here
What's done is done
And the truth is that we did a lot of damage
Verse 1
I'm not looking for someone to blame
What's the point now
Verse 1
I feel that there's no turning back
I know that this time there's no turning back
Chorus 1
Before we throw the suitcases out to the street
And we drop the curtain
If you leave and I leave
This is serious now
Chorus 1
If you leave and I leave
Who gets the dog?
Verse 2
If you don't see me cry it's just that my pride won't let me
It's hard for me to imagine that you won't be here
I finish packing feeling that
There isn't another way out
Verse 2
I'm leaving you the toaster and the CD's
If you leave and I leave
If you leave and I leave
Chorus 2
Before we throw the suitcases out to the street
And we drop the curtain
If you leave and I leave
This is serious now
Chorus 2
If you leave and I leave
Who gets the dog..?
Chorus 2
If you want, take the Picasso
After all it's an imitation
Chorus 2
And tell me who keeps the remains of this love
If you leave and I leave
If you leave
Chorus 2
Before we throw the suitcases out to the street
And we become very polite strangers
And we drop the curtain
If you leave and I leave
There's no other choice anymore
Chorus 2
If you leave and I leave
This is serious now
Chorus 2
If you leave and I leave
Who gets the dog?

SONG MEANING

¿Con Quién Se Queda El Perro? paints the bittersweet moment when a couple finally accepts that their relationship is over. Instead of grand speeches or dramatic accusations, Jesse & Joy zoom in on the little, everyday things that suddenly matter: the cold sofa, the toaster, the CDs, and most importantly the shared dog. The lyrics jump back and forth between pride (“Si no me ves llorar…”) and resignation (“Lo hecho, hecho está”), capturing that awkward mix of sadness and practicality that comes with packing up a shared life.

As the pair negotiates who keeps what, the dog becomes a symbol of all the tender memories they cannot simply split in half. The playful question “¿Con quién se queda el perro?” hides a deeper ache: if love is gone, who looks after the living piece of it that remains? With relatable humor and heartfelt honesty, the song turns an ordinary breakup scene into a catchy reflection on how hard it is to let go of love—and how the smallest things can carry the heaviest emotions.
