aborrezco — I detest / I loathe

Aborrezco comes from the verb aborrecer, meaning "to detest" or "to loathe." It's a strong word that conveys intense dislike, much more powerful than simply "no me gusta" (I don't like).

In the song, the singer says, "No te aborrezco," which translates to "I don't detest you." This line is particularly interesting because despite the pain and complications in the relationship, the singer clarifies that their feelings haven't turned to hatred, adding a nuanced layer to the emotional turmoil described in the lyrics.

Have you ever felt like you're stuck in a relationship where the other person has completely changed? That's exactly what Ke personajes featuring Dread Mar I and Nahuel The Coach are singing about in "Te Prefiero." The singer is looking back at a love that's faded, remembering a time when his partner was different, someone who "a mĂ­ me supo querer" [knew how to love me] and made him forget his past. But now, she's not the same, and he feels like their connection is complicated and falling apart.

Even though things are clearly not working out, and he admits, "esto no va a funcionar" [this isn't going to work], there's still this undeniable pull. He's frustrated because she's not answering his calls or around when he looks for her, singing, "Te llamo por teléfono y no me contestas" [I call you on the phone and you don't answer]. Despite all the pain and the feeling of being left "en el suelo" [on the ground], he can't help but say, "una y mil veces te prefiero" [one and a thousand times I prefer you]. It's a really honest look at how hard it can be to let go, even when you know you should.
