Embrujaste is the past tense of the verb embrujar, which means "to bewitch" or "to cast a spell on". It's a dramatic, magical word that you don't hear every day, evoking images of witches and potions.
In the song, the singer is so unable to forget his ex that he wonders if she put a spell on him. He asks, "¿Será que embrujaste a este viejo triste?" (Could it be that you bewitched this sad old man?). He uses this word to describe a love that feels like an unbreakable, supernatural curse.
Los Gemelos De Sinaloa and Óscar Maydon team up to give you an unfiltered look at post-breakup spiraling. Instead of quietly healing, the narrator goes completely off the rails: "Ahora soy yo un desmadre" [Now I am a total mess / chaos]. In Mexican slang, desmadre means pure wild disorder, and he proves it right away. He brags that he is out hanging with three different women ("Me la paso con tres morras"), but the distraction fails completely because he still cannot get her out of his head. Between excessive drinking ("Por tu culpa ando pisteando" [Because of you, I'm out drinking]) and wondering if she literally put a curse on him ("¿Será que embrujaste a este viejo triste?" [Could it be that you bewitched this sad old man?]), his pride takes a massive beating.
What makes this track stand out is the explosive frustration in the vocals. The title says it all, dropping right into the hook with an exasperated "Fuck, ¿cómo le haces?" [Fuck, how do you do it?]. The lyrics swing wildly from admitting he is damaged ("Me dejaste bien dañado") to unleashing furious, swear-heavy insults at his ex, only to end up questioning his self-worth for chasing after her everywhere ("Si supieras lo que valgo para andar buscándote por todos lados" [If you only knew what I'm worth, instead of me looking for you everywhere]). It is loud, chaotic, and aggressively honest about how ugly a broken heart can look.
