Qué hiciste, abusadora. Qué hiciste, abusadora
Qué hiciste, abusadora. Què hiciste, abusadora
Abusadora, abusadora, abusadora, abusadora
Abusadora, abusadora
Tú me dejaste, tú no me querías
Cuando me dejaste tú no me querias
Yo vivía sufriendo de noche y de día
Ahora quieres que vuelva contigo
Ahora quieres que vuelva contigo
Pero es que yo no quiero ser tu amigo
Pero es que yo no quiero ser tu amigo
. (dos veces)
La mujer que quise me dejó y se fue
La mujer que quise me dejó y se fue
Y ahora ella quisiera volver
Y ahora ella quisiera volver
Ueepa, ahí no más.
The song "Abusadora" is a classic example of Merengue Ripeao, a style of merengue played in the Dominican Republic featuring a faster tempo and a more intricate rhythm. The lyrics tell the story of a man who was mistreated by his partner, who left him even though he still loved her. Now, she wants him back, but he doesn't want to be just friends with her. The repeated use of "abusadora" emphasizes the betrayal he felt and the hurt he experienced.
The chorus, with its repetition of "Qué hiciste, abusadora" (What did you do, abuser) is particularly effective at driving home the man's pain and frustration. The verses further highlight the depth of his hurt through the lines "Vivía sufriendo de noche y de día" (I lived suffering day and night) and "La mujer que quise me dejó y se fue Y ahora ella quisiera volver" (The woman I loved left me and now she wants to come back).
