Buena Para Nada Lyrics in English Paula Arenas
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Buena Para Nada by Paula Arenas from Spanish to English.
Ahora que no tengo el armamento ¿cómo gano esta batalla?
Now that I don't have the weapons, how do I win this battle?
Ahora que me ataca tu recuerdo con torpedos bajo el agua
Now that your memory attacks me with torpedoes underwater
Tú me dabas todo
You gave me everything
Y no me bastaba
And it wasn't enough for me
Ahora que es tan pobre el argumento y tan grande la nostalgia
Now that the argument is so poor and the nostalgia so great
Disculpa que lo admita cuando ya de lo que fue no queda nada
Forgive me for admitting it when nothing remains of what was
Tú sumabas todo
You added everything
Y yo siempre restaba
And I always subtracted
Si te mentí, te lo advertí, ¿qué esperabas?
If I lied to you, I warned you, what did you expect?
Puedo ser muy buena
I can be very good
O buena para nada
Or good for nothing
Ya lo aprendí, me arrepentí, todo pasa
I already learned it, I regretted it, everything passes
Puedo ser muy buena
I can be very good
Demasiado buena
Too good
O buena para nada
Or good for nothing
Ahora ni siquiera tus retratos ya me miran a la cara
Now not even your portraits look me in the face
Te cuento que he venido mejorando no del todo, he sido mala
I tell you I've been improving, not entirely, I've been bad
Siempre me buscabas, ni yo misma me encontraba
You always looked for me, not even I found myself
Siempre me buscabas, ni yo misma me he encontrado
You always looked for me, not even I have found myself
Si te mentí, te lo advertí, ¿qué esperabas?
If I lied to you, I warned you, what did you expect?
Puedo ser muy buena
I can be very good
O buena para nada
Or good for nothing
Ya lo aprendí, me arrepentí, todo pasa
I already learned it, I regretted it, everything passes
Puedo ser muy buena
I can be very good
Demasiado buena
Too good
O buena para nada
Or good for nothing
Si te mentí, te lo advertí, ¿qué esperabas?
If I lied to you, I warned you, what did you expect?
Puedo ser muy buena
I can be very good
Demasiado buena
Too good
O buena para nada
Or good for nothing

Did you like this lyrics translation?
armamento — armament
Armamento translates to "armament" or "weaponry". It's an intriguing word choice in a song about a relationship, as it immediately sets a dramatic and combative tone.
In the lyrics, Paula Arenas sings, "Ahora que no tengo el armamento ¿cómo gano esta batalla?" (Now that I don't have the armament, how do I win this battle?). She uses this word metaphorically to describe the emotional tools or defenses she once had in the relationship, now lost, leaving her vulnerable in the "battle" of her memories and regrets.
