CUANDO ME VAYA Lyrics English Translation by Mora
Some days I don’t get it, my life’s like a balance scale
I know, I’m not normal, but the boss lady still believes
Thanks for putting up with me, I know all this gets tiring
And thank God for this pencil, ‘cause when I say “Kuduro,” it always dances
Shoutout to the Don and life for giving me this gift
To be able to tell my story in a song
I do this just for fun, even when I don’t feel like it
And I wrote this one just in case I’m not here tomorrow
I know everything ends, but when my time comes
My people won’t be missing a thing
And now that I’ve achieved everything I once dreamed of
Did you think I’d slow down? No
My mark is unforgettable
They all sound the same, look like vapes, disposable
Got another call, it’s the accountant
Just to tell me what’s coming in is uncountable
And I don’t know why, but I want more
Even if more money means less peace
I want to be a “forever,” not a “maybe”
Even if I have to wear this mask every day and pretend it doesn’t hurt
But all that pain, I turn it into decibels
That’s what sets me apart from you
If I run out of paper, I keep writing on the walls
And many have seen that, that’s why they don’t cross the line
And here I am thinking ‘bout those times in Maya
When I sang for free just to hit the beach the next day
Simple things like that are what I’ll take when I go
And when I go, please, don’t cry for me
When I go, play my songs, that way I don’t really die
(I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die)
When I go, please, don’t cry for me
When I go, play my songs, that way I don’t really die
(I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die)
(I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die)
(I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die)
(I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die)
(I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t die, I don’t d—)
Man, I’m still here, and who’s gonna take me out?
My muse is infinite, y’all gotta deal with me
I sacrificed for this, now if you wanna see me, gotta pay up
And to get me out of the house, gotta deposit some cash
It’s not 100k anymore, now it’s a little more
Half a mil per show, maybe a little more
I’m chillin’ with the boss lady watching Netflix, laid back
The machines in the garage, this ain’t Mario Kart
This is Grand Turismo, GT-R Nismo
I don’t need cheat codes, I am the algorithm
I don’t know why the hell I decided to change up the beat
No one was in the studio, so I did it myself
No room for error that way
I took two years off and I’m still below on the score
Tone it down a bit, please
It’s not the first day of school anymore, now I’m the principal
Fear’s still stuck in you, locked away in a drawer
The one who carries my bags is making more than you
I was giving you a break to fill your notebook
But y’all can’t hit a thing, not even playing roulette
Still chasing me like zombies
Snoring with a brand in the videos, just to later return the ride
I’m buying new clothes so I don’t have to do laundry
I’m tired of all this shit, I’m gonna make a country album
Look at me, they welcome me at Louis Vu like I’m the tribe’s chief
Guys, y’all lack ethics to reach these big numbers
It’s like comparing a Supra to a Celica
