Verse 1
Llena de fajos de billetes-
México, para asesinar narcotraficantes- (me mira)
Jacobo, termina una época-
Son las ocho en punto de la noche, la ley lo permite
In this verse, the imagery shifts quickly. It starts with money and violence, hinting at a darker side of life, possibly reflecting the environment around them. Then it moves to a more personal note with Jacobo ending an era. This could suggest a significant change in someone’s life, possibly leading to the singer's current situation. The mention of time also adds urgency, implying that something important is about to happen.
Chorus
Y en una de las partes, lo acusa a usted- (como yo la miro)
Ola de terror a la humanidad toda
This chorus brings a wave of emotion. The singer feels like they’re being judged or accused in their own romantic struggle. The mention of terror adds a dramatic flair, making it clear that these feelings are intense and overwhelming. It’s a mix of external pressures and internal battles, which makes the song relatable.
Verse 2
Se metió temprano, se peleó con su papá
Y yo como un tonto en la disco esperándola
Ella juega sucio, me sabe manipular
Quiere ser mi amiga, y yo, aquí amándola
In the second verse, we see a glimpse into the girl’s life. She’s having issues with her dad, which adds a layer of complexity to her character. The singer waits for her, feeling foolish, showing his vulnerability. The idea that she plays games with him highlights the confusion in their relationship. He feels deep affection, but she seems to lead him on, wanting to keep things casual while he desires more.
Chorus
Ella no me mira como yo la miro
Yo le doy mi vida, y ella, ni un besito
Esta noche, niña, tú te vas conmigo
Haremos de todo, menos ser amigos
Here, the chorus repeats but shifts slightly in focus. The singer realizes the disparity in their feelings. He’s willing to give everything, yet she’s not reciprocating. The line about spending the night together but not being friends emphasizes his frustration. It shows his determination to change their relationship dynamic, even if she isn’t ready.
Verse 3
Loca trastornada, yo no sé qué le pasó
Ya toma de todo, siendo de cualquier licor
Cuando baila, todos sus problemas se le van
Le robé un besito y ya no me dijo na
This verse dives deeper into the girl’s state of mind. She seems lost, using alcohol to escape her troubles. The singer watches her dance, suggesting a moment of connection, but it’s fleeting. He steals a kiss, which indicates a bold move, but her silence afterward leaves him confused. It portrays the highs and lows of their relationship, where moments of intimacy are overshadowed by uncertainty.
Chorus
Ahora ella me mira como yo la miro
Ahora hasta su amiga quiere andar conmigo
Esta noche, niña, tú te vas conmigo
Haremos de todo, menos ser amigos
In this part, the chorus takes a turn. Now, it seems like the girl is noticing him back, which gives hope. The mention of her friend wanting to be with him adds a twist, suggesting that there might be competition or interest from others. However, the insistence on not being friends still hangs heavy, hinting that the singer is ready to move forward, regardless of her mixed signals.

¡Uh!
Así suena el Neto, mijita
Y su compa Oscar Maydon
Loca trastornada, yo no sé qué le pasó
Ya toma de todo, siendo de cualquier licor
Cuando baila, todos sus problemas se le van
Le robé un besito y ya no me dijo na

Menos ser amigos, amigos
Ser amigos, amigos
Menos ser amigos, amigos
Ser amigos, amigos
Menos ser amigos
