Coronaste comes from the verb coronar, which literally means "to crown". In slang, it's often used to mean "you won" or "you succeeded", like hitting the jackpot.
In this song, Jessie Reyez uses it with a cutting edge. She sings, "Coronaste por poco" (You won for a little while), sarcastically acknowledging her ex's brief moment of triumph before she delivers the punchline: "y me perdiste por bobo" (and you lost me for being a fool). It's a powerful and unforgettable word choice.
Canadian-Colombian singer Jessie Reyez pulls zero punches in "ADIÓS AMOR", delivering a fiery R&B breakup track where healing means cutting ties completely. Switching between English and Spanish, she refuses to waste another second feeling bad for an ex who fumbled the relationship. She laughs off his lingering sadness with lines like "Pobrecito el niño sigue triste" ("Poor little boy is still sad") and drops all politeness when she says "Me vale mierda si tú sigues triste" ("I don't give a shit if you're still sad"). For English learners, you will hear her say she is not interested in "getting even" (getting revenge) because she has already moved past the drama.
She adds plenty of bite by reminding him who gave him his status in the first place, calling out "all of that clout you got" (social influence or fame) and joking that she handed it over "de caridad" ("out of charity"). Her farewell is cold, poetic, and final. She compares her exit to everyday cycles of nature—"Como el olor después de la lluvia" ("Like the smell after the rain") and "Como al sol se le va la luna" ("Like the moon leaves the sun")—before shutting down any chance of reconciliation with "Mi teléfono está apagado" ("My phone is turned off"). By the time she signs off telling him to "Find God in your future", you know that door is locked forever.
