Reviento — I'm bursting / I explode

Reviento comes from the verb reventar, which literally means "to burst" or "to explode". It's a highly expressive and dramatic word you won't often hear in everyday conversation.

In "Lo Siento", Beret sings, "Reviento, porque a veces ni yo me entiendo" (I'm bursting, because sometimes I don't even understand myself). He uses this word to describe an overwhelming feeling of internal pressure and frustration. It's not a physical explosion, but an emotional one, perfectly capturing the song's theme of romantic turmoil and confusion.

Spanish singer Beret delivers an intensely honest look at a dying relationship in "Lo Siento", skipping the sweet romantic excuses for straight-up self-blame. Instead of begging his partner to stay, he drops an unexpected apology: "Lo siento, por hacerte perder el tiempo" (I'm sorry for wasting your time). He admits he was foolish to think that fighting for her and holding on would magically bring her joy, especially when his own head was a mess. There is a great, blunt honesty when he confesses "a veces ni yo me entiendo / Cómo voy a entender lo nuestro / Si nunca te entendí ni a ti" (sometimes I don't even understand myself / How am I going to understand us / If I never understood you either).

What makes this track stand out is Beret's clever wordplay. When he sings "Si te hice daño no fue sin quererte sino sin querer", he plays on the double meaning of the Spanish verb querer. The phrase translates to: if I hurt you, it wasn't without loving you, it was by accident (literally without wanting to). He also points out that they were never really alone as a couple: "contando el miedo sí éramos tres" (counting fear, yes, we were three). He acknowledges that fear was an uninvited roommate in their romance, leaving behind unsent letters ("cartas que nunca se dieron") because neither person has the energy left to keep trying.
