Ileso translates to "unscathed" or "unharmed". It's a powerful word that implies surviving a dangerous situation, like a battle, without any injury.
In "Besos en Guerra" (Kisses in War), the singer uses this war metaphor for love. He sings, "Y tĂş nunca juraste que saldrĂa ileso" (And you never swore that I would come out unscathed), poetically admitting he knew from the start that this risky love affair would likely leave him with a broken heart.
Morat and Juanes give us a song that treats love like an all-out war. The singer is a soldier who knows from the very beginning that he's probably not going to make it out alive. He tells his lover he always knew that "tus besos matan" (your kisses kill) and that she's an expert at stealing his heartbeats. There are no illusions here; he went into this relationship with his eyes wide open, fully aware of the danger.
Despite the pain, he has zero regrets. He says, "Yo te confieso que no me arrepiento / Y aunque estoy sufriendo podrĂa estar peor" (I confess that I don't regret it / And even though I'm suffering, it could be worse). He refuses to give up, declaring that he will "GanarĂ© la guerra para conquistarte" (I will win the war to conquer you). It's a dramatic and passionate song about choosing to fight for a dangerous love, even if it means you'll probably lose.
The four of Morat met at school in Bogotá, Colombia, and were playing as Malta by late 2011, renamed before the first record. Juan Pablo Isaza sings and plays guitar, Juan Pablo Villamil plays the banjo that gives their pop its country tilt, and the Vargas brothers hold the bottom end, SimĂłn on bass and MartĂn on percussion.
They broke out in 2015, first on Paulina Rubio's "Mi nuevo vicio" and then with their own "Cómo te atreves". Sobre el amor y sus efectos secundarios (2016) led to Balas perdidas (2018), a number one in Spain and Mexico with "Besos en guerra" alongside Juanes plus "No se va", which Grupo Frontera's 2022 cover turned into their most-streamed song. ¿A dónde vamos? (2021) and Si ayer fuera hoy (2022) followed, then Ya es mañana (2025), their first Latin Grammy winner, for Best Pop/Rock Album. Its tour opened with six nights at Bogotá's Movistar Arena in August 2026, and a May 2026 duet with Silvestre Dangond, "Lo poco que yo quiero", previews a second volume.
