Mau y Ricky open this breakup song like a daily routine: coffee in the morning, "me hace falta la cafeína" (I need caffeine) through the day, and at night "pa' dormir necesito melatonina" (to sleep I need melatonin). Loving her has become "todo un vicio" (a full-blown addiction), and even though she always "me sacas de quicio" (drives me up the wall, a great idiom to learn), what he feels is "más grande que cualquier edificio" (bigger than any building). Then he wakes up brave and decides to erase her "hasta olvidarte" (until I forget you).
His plan for forgetting is not exactly healthy. "Llorando güaro" mixes crying with guaro, the Central American and Colombian word for liquor, then "portándome feo" (behaving badly) and "botando el dinero" (throwing money away). The most honest detail is small: "Borré las fotos, pero no el video" (I deleted the photos, but not the video), and he still watches it.
Arcángel's verse is much rougher. He calls her "cabrona" (a strong insult, roughly "b*tch"), says she was "guillándose de loca" (Puerto Rican slang for acting clueless), and heads out with "un par de bellaconas" (a couple of party girls looking to hook up). But he gives himself away with the best line in the song: "pensar en no pensarte igual es pensar en ti" (thinking about not thinking of you is still thinking of you). He ends admitting "se nos fue la mano" (we went too far), an everyday phrase for overdoing something.
