DESQUITE Lyrics (English Translation) – Grupo Frontera

‘Toy set for revenge

My feelings are hurting a lot, m*mmy.
I would never have done to you what you did to me
Don’t give me that face of “I didn’t go there” anymore.
That everyone already knows about you out there

I almost sold the truck and the house
To give you a life spent as a spear
And you cheating on me
I’m going to go out to track with the race
To see if the pain with alcohol goes away
And I don’t sleep today
Today I’m going to drink because there is revenge
If I get drunk, they will take away my cell phone
So as not to call you to tell you
I miss you, what did you do to me?
Today I’m going to drink because there is revenge
If I get drunk, they will take away my cell phone
So as not to call you to tell you
I miss you, what did you do to me?

Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay

Tell Frontera that I’m ready to leave
Help me forget about everything you did to me
I was so faithful, but it’s of no use
Today I am set, set to get even

Pass me a bottle, I dedicate it to your lover
The one who tomorrow will be a member of my club
And if I cross your mother, I’m going to leave her a rosary
So that I pray every day, although not even that is going to change you, hey

you left me alone
you just crashed
If I send you a photo, it will be with your friend, the one you always jealous of
You didn’t know how to take care of me
It’s not that I want revenge
Today I am going to pay you with the same currency that you paid me

Today I’m going to drink because there is revenge
If I get drunk, they will take away my cell phone
So as not to call you to tell you
I miss you, what did you do to me?
Today I’m going to drink because there is revenge
If I get drunk, they will take away my cell phone
So as not to call you to tell you
I miss you, what did you do to me?

Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay
Ay ay ay

The song “DESQUITE” narrates a story of deep emotional turmoil and a burning desire for revenge. The protagonist, tormented by intense feelings of hurt and betrayal, expresses their pain, addressing it to their “m*mmy,” indicating a sense of comfort and familiarity with the person they are speaking to. They lament the fact that they would never have inflicted the same pain on their partner, highlighting the depth of their hurt. The protagonist confronts their partner, implying that their deceptive actions are widely known, dispelling any denials or excuses.

Feeling utterly betrayed, the protagonist reflects on the sacrifices they made for their partner, contemplating drastic actions like selling their possessions. They had hoped to provide a comfortable life for their partner, only to be met with infidelity. Struggling with overwhelming emotions, they consider drowning their sorrows in alcohol, seeking solace from the pain that consumes them.

The theme of revenge intensifies as the protagonist resolves to take action against their betrayer.

Amidst their determination for revenge, the protagonist appeals for support from “Frontera,” presumably a reference to a friend or confidant, seeking assistance in overcoming the betrayal and moving forward. They express a sense of resignation, realizing that their unwavering faithfulness was futile in preventing their partner’s betrayal. Despite this, they are resolute in their pursuit of revenge, dedicating their actions to their partner’s lover and contemplating ways to make them suffer the same pain they endured.
