“The Call”
Style: Drama pop song about a cheater who wants to get back together. This person cheats, gets caught, gets dumped, and then won’t stop calling! Selena is just going to keep hanging up. Stop calling her. I love songs with stories.
Country: United States (Texas); Mexico
Listen: YouTube
Lyrics Translation:
[Sound of phone ringing]
-Bueno…
-Soy yo, mi amor, antes de que me cuelgues no’ más dejame explicar que…
-Hello…
-It’s me, my love, before you hang up on me just let me explain that…
[Sound of phone hanging up]
No me vuelvas a llamar
Tratando de explicar
Que lo que vi no era cierto.
Do not call me again
Trying to explain
That what I saw was not true.
Main part:
Vergüenza debes tener
Si me quieres convencer
Que eres fiel y eres sincero.
You should be ashamed (of yourself)
If you want to convince me
That you are faithful and sincere.
Oh! Te vi con ella y no puedes negar
Que eran tus labios los que la besaban.
Canalla!
Oh! I saw you with her and you cannot deny
That those were your lips that kissed her.
You pig!
Y no te sirvió de nada
El disimular
Que solo charlaban,
No mientas más!
And it did not help you at all
Pretending
That you were just chatting,
Do not lie anymore!
Si me vuelves a llamar,
Yo te vuelvo a colgar.
Ya me canse de escuchar
Escusas y más mentiras.
If you call me again,
I will hang up on you again.
I am (already) tired of hearing
Excuses and more lies.
No me vuelvas a llamar.
No te voy a perdonar.
Otra oportunidad,
No te la doy.
No vales la pena.
Do not call me again.
I am not going to forgive you.
Another chance,
I do not give it to you.
You are not worth it.
[Repeat from main part]
Translation Notes:
-Bueno…
-Hello…
“Bueno” is a way of answering the phone. It word-for-word literally means “well” or “good”. As a phone greeting, it is short for “buenos dias” or similar greetings.
