Lyrics

Compadre, Romeo

Dígame que usted va a hacer con esa suegra suya

Bueno, esto no se sabe dónde vayas a parar

¡Mami!

Romeo Santos contigo

Descubrí nuestro problema

No fue efecto de cuarentena, era tu maldita madre de metiche y bochinchera

De metiche y bochinchera

Yo que fui tan bondadoso, le abrí las puertas de mi hogar

Pero si yo me descuido, te hace ponerme el divorcio

Tú me pones el divorcio

Y no me digas Mamá te quiere

Porque tiene un doctorado en joderme

Es evidente, tu corazón me gané

Y la bendita bruja no quiere vernos feliz

En su cumpleaños, le voy a hace' un regalo

Un buen cafecito, pero envenenado

Cuando se desmaye, la monto en mi carro

Y de una barranca pa'bajo, se la lleva el diablo

Y no me digas Mamá te quiere

Porque tiene un doctorado en joderme

Es evidente, tu corazón yo gané

Y la bendita bruja no quiere vernos feliz

En su cumpleaños, le voy a hace' un regalo

Un buen cafecito, pero envenenado

Cuando se desmaye, la monto en mi carro

Y de una barranca pa'bajo, se la lleva el diablo

Ahí está sonando una guitarra de bajos recursos, pero muchas ambiciones

¡Suena, Martire'!

Tú

En medio de este revolú

Mi amor, yo a ti te compadezco

Pero tengo fundamento pa' enfrentar a tu mamá

Y su maleficio terminar

Y como la vieja no se va, mi plan lo tengo que tramar

Viene En su cumpleaños, le voy a hace' un regalo

Un buen cafecito, pero envenenado

Cuando se desmaye, la monto en mi carro

Y de una barranca pa'bajo, se la lleva el diablo

*grito*

Romeo, brother

Tell me what you’re going to do with your mother-in-law

Well, there’s no way to tell where you’re gonna stop

Mami!

Romeo Santos with you

I figured out our problem

It wasn’t from quarantine, it was your fucking nosy, rowdy mother

nosy and rowdy

I kindly opened the doors to my house for her

But if I mess up, you’ll ask me for divorce

You’ll ask me for divorce

And don’t tell me Mom loves you

Because she has a doctorate in fucking me over

It’s evident, I won your heart

And the blessed witch doesn’t want to see us happy

On her birthday, I’ll give her a gift

A good coffee, but poisoned

When she passes out, I’ll take her in my car
And down a ravine, the devil will take her

Don’t tell me Mom loves you

Because she has a doctorate in fucking me over

It’s evident, I won your heart

And the blessed witch doesn’t want to see us happy

On her birthday, I’ll give her a gift

A good coffee, but poisoned

When she passes out, I’ll take her in my car

And down a ravine, the devil will take her

There’s the guitar playing under low resources, but with lots of ambition

Play it, Martires!

You

In the middle of this mess

My love, I feel for you

But I have a reason to confront your mom

And end her curse

And since the old woman won’t go, I have to make my plan

She’s coming

On her birthday, I’ll give her a gift

A good coffee, but poisoned

When she faints, I’ll take her in my car

And down a ravine, the devil will take her

*screaming*
