Bandolera
Héctor Lavoe Lyrics

Quien dice una mentira dice dos
If somebody tells one lie, they will tell another and continue on a never-ending cycle of lies.

Y dice cien,
Lying becomes a habit and they will continue to lie even when it is unnecessary.

Se inventa mil
When a person lies, they create more lies to cover up their original lies.

Dice un millon.
Lies accumulate and can become larger than life itself.

El ser que ya nacio para engaсar
Some people are born to deceive and lie constantly.

Te engaсa a ti,
This individual is capable of fooling others with their lies.

Me engaсa a mi
Even someone close to this individual can fall victim to their deception.

Y asн es como va la vida
This is just how life can be sometimes with some people living a dishonest lifestyle.

Ya no se puede creer
It's difficult to trust people who are habitual liars.

Ni la mujer en el hombre
Women can be deceivers just like men.

Ay ni el hombre en la mujer.
Men can also deceive women and cause them heartache.

Por eso yo no creo en el amor
This is why the singer no longer believes in love.

Yo creo en mi
The singer believes in themselves.

Yo se de mi
The singer knows themselves better than anyone on this planet.

Yo se vivir.
The singer knows how to carry on life without those who deceive them in it.
