Si estás pensando que sufriendo estoy
Estás soñando, no sabes quién soy
Soy insensible a heridas de amor
Jamás exclamo un ay de dolor
Te has engañado me siento muy bien
No te he extrañado no tengo por qué
Fuiste aventura como muchas mas
Amor a oscuras sin felicidad
Tal vez te quise lo mismo que tú
Cuando te fuiste volví a ver la luz
Otras vez, otras vez, otras vez
Vivo en paz, vivo en paz, ah
No estás conmigo, no estoy contigo
Por eso ahora mismo vivo muy en paz
No estás conmigo, no estoy contigo
Por eso ahora mismo vivo muy en paz
Si estás pensando que sufriendo estoy
Estas soñando, no sabes quién soy
Soy insensible a heridas de amor
Jamás exclamo un ay de dolor, oh oh oh
No no, no no, no no, no no, no no, no, no
Yo creí que eras buena
Yo que creí que eras sincera
Yo te di mi cariño
Resultaste traicionera
Tú me hiciste rebelde
Tú me hiciste tu enemigo
Tú que me traicionaste
Sin razón y sin motivo
Este orgullo que tengo no lo vas a mirar
En el suelo tirado como una basura
Yo me quito hasta el nombre y te doy mi palabra de honor
Que de mí no te burlas
Yo te juro por todo lo que sucedió
Que te arrepentirás de este mal que me has hecho
Sabes que, que no descansaré hasta verte a mis pies
Y eso da lo por hecho
Ya veras traicionera
Lo vas a pagar muy caro
Yo soy bueno a la buena
Y por las malas soy muy malo
No quisiste ser buena
Y ya vez lo que resulta
Yo no quise ser malo
Pero tú tienes la culpa
Y es que tú ya de mí no te vas a burlar
Hoy te juro capricho yo haré que me quieras
Ya veras que hasta vas aprender
Como debes amar a dios en tierra ajena
Porque tú a mis espaldas me hiciste traición
Hoy por eso te voy a quitar lo farsante
Voy a ser que tu hincada me pidas perdón
Y me implores amor delante de tu amante

Mexico President Andrés Manuel López Obrador announced Monday that he is skipping this week’s Ninth Summit of the Americas, a blow to President Joe Biden as he tries to unite the region to address migration.
“There cannot be a summit if all countries are not invited,” López Obrador said at a press conference Monday after the United States refused to invite Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela to the summit.
He said Mexico’s foreign affairs secretary, Marcelo Ebrard, will attend the summit instead. López Obrador said he will meet with Biden in July.
López Obrador has been threatening to boycott the summit if the United States didn’t invite every country in the region, including the autocratic leaders of Cuba, Nicaragua, and Venezuela.
The Biden administration said they do not want to invite countries that have not upheld democratic principles.
López Obrador’s absence is likely to be seen as a snub to Biden as the U.S. prepares to host the summit for the first time since its inception in 1994. The summit is scheduled to begin Wednesday.
The White House has said climate change, COVID-19, and the economy are going to be among some of the issues discussed.
But a priority for the administration is migration. The United States has seen record levels of migrants coming to the U.S.-Mexico border over the past year. In April, the United States saw a record number of border encounters for that month in more than two decades.
The Biden administration has tried to work with key countries in the region, including Mexico, Honduras, Guatemala, and El Salvador, to address the root causes of migration.
López Obrador might not be the only key official who is skipping out on the summit.
Newly-elected Honduras President Xiomara Castro previously indicated that she would not attend the summit if some countries were excluded from the event.
Sen. Bob Menendez, D-N.J., criticized López Obrador’s decision to skip out on the summit, saying it “will, unfortunately, set back efforts to continue repairing the relationship and to cooperate on issues pertinent to the well-being of both our nations.”
Menendez said the Mexican leader is standing “dictators and despots over representing the interests of the Mexican people in a summit with his partners from across the hemisphere.”
