Cotidiano translates to "everyday" or "daily". While it might seem simple, its use in this song is quite profound and goes against typical romantic song tropes.
The artist explicitly states he doesn't want to fall into romantic clichés or talk about "mariposas" (butterflies in the stomach). Instead, he emphasizes that his love is "más calmado" (calmer) and that he loves his partner "en lo cotidiano" (in the everyday). This highlights a mature, deep love found in shared routines and small, ordinary moments, making it a unique and relatable take on romance.
Have you ever tried to write a love song that doesn't sound cheesy? That's exactly what El Chojin, santa rm, and Teyou are grappling with in "No Hay Mariposas II"! They're tired of those over-the-top ballads and want to share a more real, everyday kind of love.
Instead of grand romantic gestures, they focus on the small, honest moments. It's about enjoying time together, laughing at jokes (even if you don't quite get them!), and accepting each other's flaws. As they say, "No sé hablarte de mariposas, pero te amo" [I don't know how to talk to you about butterflies, but I love you]. It's a refreshing take on love, celebrating the imperfect, genuine connection between two people who choose to be together through thick and thin.
