aguanteendure / put up with

Aguante comes from the verb aguantar, which means to endure, tolerate, or put up with. It's a strong word that implies a certain level of resilience or patience.

In the context of the song, the singer tells his ex, "habrá quien te quiera, mas no quien te aguante" (there will be someone who loves you, but not someone who can put up with you). This line suggests that the ex is difficult to deal with, making aguante a key word that reveals the underlying tension and the singer's perspective on their past relationship.

Alex Fernández brings us a song that's all about that moment when you know, just know, your ex is going to regret losing you. It's a confident, almost defiant message to someone who thought they could do better. He's basically saying, "Someone like me? I don't think you'll find them. But try it, see how it goes" ("Alguien como yo, no creo que te encuentres, pero inténtalo, a ver cómo te va"). He even points out that he loved them more than they deserved, and despite their fake smiles, he's pretty sure no one will put up with them quite like he did.

He's so sure of himself that he predicts they'll call him, but he's already made up his mind: "I'm completely convinced you'll call me, but to save us the trouble and awkwardness, I want to tell you in advance that I don't plan to take a step back" ("Estoy completamente convencido que me llamarás, pero para ahorrarnos las molestias y la incomodidad, quiero adelantarte que no pienso dar un paso atrás"). The best part is his peace of mind, knowing he always had good intentions and gave his all. He concludes with a powerful statement: "I didn't lose, they lost me" ("Yo no perdí, me perdieron a mí"). It's a great song for anyone who's ever walked away from a relationship knowing they were the better half!
