Ella…

A los cinco años te dije que te amaba y yo en ti me acurrucaba

Nunca imagine que eso cambiara, pero el tiempo pasaba y Ella de ti se apoderaba

Te llevaba a distintos caminos y te alejaba de los amigos

Ciegamente en Ella confiabas, las horas pasaban y tu no llegabas

Tu esposa preocupada y tus hijas esperaban que les cumplieras tus promesas pero tu nunca llegabas

Empezaba cada fin de semana y poco a poco esos días se alargaban

A los quince años yo jure que te odiaba y de ti me alejaba

Cada dia que con Ella te ibas ese odio solo crecia y crecia

Aquellos buenos tiempos se me olvidaban

Cuando de Ella por fin te enamoraste, se te olvido el amor que a tu esposa un dia le juraste

El dolor no solo era de tus intenciones, ahora también de tus acciones 

Ella seguía ganando y yo me seguía alejando

Mis hermanas todavía te adoraban y todo te perdonaban, me di cuenta que el amor a ti nunca te faltaba

A los dieciocho años pensé que mi odio iba a ser eterno, pero mis hermanas ya no te esperaban, y mi mama no se preocupaba 

A ellas también se les olvidaban aquellos buenos tiempos cuando Ella aún no te cambiaba

Pero papá, ¿por qué me regañabas? Si yo solo hacia lo que tú me ordenabas

Y porque me insultabas? Yo si te queria pero tu no lo mostrabas

Y ahora entiendo que todo lo que necesitaba era un abrazo de ese padre que tanto yo amaba

Asi que olvidate de Ella, no vale la pena perder el amor por una botella.

Below is the English translation:

Her…

At the age of five, I told you that I loved you and I snuggled next to you

I never imagined that would change, but time passed and She began to take over you

She took you to different places and away from friends

Blindly in Her you trusted, the hours passed and you would not arrive

Your wife worried and your daughters expected you to keep your promises but you never came

It started every weekend and little by little those days grew longer


When I was fifteen I swore that I hated you and I began to drift away

Every day that you left with Her, that hatred only grew 

I began to forget the good times

When you finally fell in love with Her, you forgot the love you once swore to your wife

The pain was not only from your intentions but now also from your actions

She kept winning and I kept drifting away

My sisters still adored you and always forgave you, I realized that love for you was never absent


At eighteen I thought my hatred would last forever, but my sisters no longer expected you, and my mother no longer worried about you

They also forgot those good times when She still had not changed you

But father, why would you scold me? If I only did what you ordered me

And why did you insult me? I did love you but you never showed it

And now I understand that all I needed was a hug from that father that I once loved

So forget about Her, it's not worth losing your love for an alcohol bottle
