Lyrics Translation:
¿A quién vas a amar más que a mí?
Dime, para feliz, felicitarlo yo.
Who will you love more than me?
Tell me so I can, happily, congratulate him myself.
Yo a nadie amaré más que a ti,
No tengo ni por quién, ni por qué un día negarlo, no.
I will not love anyone more than you,
I have no one else, nor any reason to deny it someday, no.
No vas a hallar
Al ser maravilloso, al ser perfecto,
Que rebase éste amor y que en efecto,
Te entregue todo y más de lo que di.
You will not find
That marvelous being, that perfect being,
Who surpasses this love and in effect,
Gives you everything and more than what I gave you.
Tendría que ser
Alguien que como yo no sea un desastre.
Ya vez, a la basura me mandaste,
Y aún puedo pensar
Que a nadie vas a amar, como me amaste.
They would have to be
Somebody who isn’t a disaster like me.
You see, you sent me to the trash,
And even now I think
That you will never love anyone like you loved me.
¿A quién vas a amar más que a mí?
Dime para mandarle mi psicólogo.
Después de vivir junto a ti,
En dos tres cosas él tendrá que ser mi homólogo.
Who will you love more than me?
Tell me so I can send him my psychologist.
After living next to you,
In two, three things he will have to be my counterpart.
Pero no, no vas a hallar
Al ser maravilloso al ser perfecto,
Que rebase éste amor y que en efecto,
Te entregue todo y más de lo que di.
But no, no you won’t find
That marvelous being, that perfect being,
Who surpasses this love and in effect,
Gives you everything and more than what I gave you.
Tendría que ser,
Alguien que como yo no sea un desastre,
Ya vez, a la tiznada me mandaste,
Y aún puedo pensar, que a nadie vas a amar,
Que a nadie vas a amar, como me amaste.
They would have to be
Somebody who isn’t a disaster like me.
You see, you sent me to the trash,
And even now I think
That you will never love anyone like you loved me.
Translation Notes:
Yo <a nadie> amaré más que a ti,
No tengo [ni por quién], {ni por qué} un día negarlo, no. *translated twice below
I will not love <anyone> more than you,
I have [no one else], {nor any reason} to deny it someday, no. *meaning
I don’t have [nor for who], {nor reason why} one day deny it, no. *literal
He is saying that he has no reason to deny his love or say he loves anyone else more than her. He does not have a new lover and he does not have other reasons. This album, Para Siempre (Forever), has many songs about reconciling with one’s true love after infidelity, and of affirming that he wants to keep his original relationship. In this context, “no tengo ni por quién” means “I don’t have another person who would be a reason to deny my love for you.” He is telling the woman he serenades that SHE is the only one he wants.
Ya vez, a la basura [me mandaste],
Y aún {puedo} pensar
Que a nadie vas a amar, como me amaste.
You see, [you sent me] to the trash,
And even now I {can} think
That you will never love anyone like you loved me.
He is saying that although she “sent him to the trash” (broke up with him), that he still believes that she loves him. He is serenading her now to remind her of her love for him, to try to win her back.
¿A quién vas a amar más que a mí?
Dime para mandarle mi psicólogo.
Who will you love more than me?
Tell me so I can send him my psychologist.
This is a little humorous jab reminding her that their original relationship wasn’t perfect, while also pointing out that he is serious about change. It isn’t stereotypically “macho man” to have a psychologist, so saying he has one (even in a joke) shows that he is open to self-improvement.
