¡Viva viernes! (Long live Friday! In other words, TGIF!)
La fecha es el diecinueve (19) de julio del año dos mil veinticuatro. (The date is July 19, 2024.)
La Reina del Merengue (The Queen of Merengue), Dominican singer Milly Quezada, empowers us with her version of Andrés Cepeda’s Mejor Que A Ti Me Va (I’m Doing Better than You).
“Más el mundo tantas vueltas da” (The continues turning many times),
“Hoy las cosas han cambiado ya” (Today things have already changed),
“Hoy te veo pagándolo todo” (Today I see you paying for everything).
“Mejor que a ti me va” (I’m doing better than you).
“¿Qué esperabas que pasara?” (What were you expecting to happen?)
“¿Que me quedara llorando tirada en algún rincón, que viviese como si la vida se me acabó?” (That I would stay crying off in some corner, that I would live as if my life had ended?)
“No es así, yo sobreviví” (It’s not that way, I survived).
“Y confieso que no fue fácil recomenzar” (And I confess that it wasn’t easy to start over).
“El dolor de tu amor fue difícil dejar atrás porque yo de verdad te amé” (The pain from your love was hard to leave behind because I really loved you).
“Sabes que todo te lo entregué, pero tú nunca hiciste igual” (You know that I gave you everything, but you never did the same).
“Me jugaste y creíste ganar” (You played me and thought you won).
¡Bailemos! (Let’s dance!) Sing along to la letra (the lyrics).
¡Que tengas un viernes valorado! (May you have a valued Friday!)
