Al garete is a popular slang phrase that literally means "adrift", like a ship lost at sea without a rudder. It's used to describe a situation that is chaotic, or a person who is living recklessly and without direction.
In the song, Mora sings "Y yo al garete llevándote de viaje" (And me, recklessly taking you on trips). He uses this phrase to paint a picture of how he was lost in the relationship, spending money and living wildly for his partner, all while she was deceiving him.
In "LA INOCENTE", Puerto Rican artist Mora teams up with Colombian singer Feid to vent about an ex who pulled off the ultimate innocent act. The central punchline is right in the chorus: "Siempre era yo el culpable / Y tú jugando a la inocente" ("I was always the guilty one / And you playing the innocent girl"). Mora admits he bought into every lie she sold him, joking bitterly that "Mil sueños me vendías / Yo fui tu cliente" ("You sold me a thousand dreams / I was your customer"). From paying off cars and buying her perfume every month to taking her on wild trips ("al garete", Puerto Rican slang for "reckless" or "all over the place"), he gave her everything. Meanwhile, she secretly snooped through his texts ("Tú calladita chequeando mis mensajes") and walked out the door without so much as a goodbye.
Feid hops in with his signature bluntness, listing the petty score-settling that comes after being played for a fool. He cracks that he wants to be free like Venezuela and Cuba ("Yo quiero ser libre igual que Venezuela y Cuba") and tosses off lines full of bitter humor: "Me pediste un reloj y yo perdiendo mi tiempo" ("You asked me for a watch and here I was wasting my time"). There is also real Caribbean street slang to unpack here, like when Mora snaps that someone "me choteó" ("snitched on me" or "ratted me out"), prompting his ex to believe rumors over him. By the time Feid tells her to keep the expensive clothes ("ropa cara") while warning that betrayal gets paid back with betrayal, the song turns a messy breakup into a catchy, sarcastic send-off.
