Pobre diablo [English translation]

I know that you take advantage of my absence

to find the way to meet with her.

I know that when I turn my back,

you look at her with the desire of having her.

I know that, if I am not there, you call, overwhelm

and trick her like a fox to its prey.

You, a friend you? poor devil

You, a friend you? poor devil

It is obvious that you don't know her,

that you are wasting your time

'cause I know that she knows who you are,

and you are not her type.

Don't forget that I am an old dog,

that I am ahead of the game.

You make me sad,

I feel compassion, I feel sorry for you.

I know that you take advantage of my absence

to talk to her about moons and one thousand beautiful things.

I know that your hand on her hand, years of friendship,

you caress and hug.

I know that I will know about you, that at the bar

and at the table, to her side you are.

You, a friend you? poor devil

You, a friend you? poor devil

It is obvious that you don't know her,

that your are wasting your time

'cause I know that she knows who you are,

and you are not her type.

You, a friend you? poor devil

You, a friend you? poor devil

Don't forget that I am an old dog,

that I am ahead of the game.

You make me sad,

I feel compassion, I feel sorry for you.

You, a friend you? poor devil

You, a friend you? poor devil
