Malgastaba comes from the verb malgastar, a powerful combination of mal (bad) and gastar (to spend). It means "to waste" or "to squander," implying spending something precious carelessly.
In the song, the singer describes his state after the breakup: "Yo malgastaba los segundos" (I was wasting the seconds) while his ex was traveling the world. This single, evocative word paints a vivid picture of being stuck in heartbreak, watching time slip away uselessly.
No Hay Más Que Hablar is Colombian band Morat’s spirited farewell to a love that walked out on its own two feet, only to come knocking again later. The lyrics paint a vivid scene: a relationship table already overloaded with unplayed cards, a heart smashed like scattered puzzle pieces, and an ex who chose boarding passes over commitment. While the other person was busy circling the globe, partying in Barcelona, and trying on new identities, the narrator was stuck counting sleepless seconds at home. Now, when that same traveler returns expecting an open door, the answer is firm: there is nothing left to discuss.
Far from a sad ballad, the song is a brisk anthem of self-respect. It blends catchy folk-pop rhythms with sharp declarations: no more tears, no more empty promises, no more space for guilt. By the final chorus, the listener feels the relief of finally letting go and learning to live without someone who already let go first. It is a reminder that closure sometimes means simply refusing to reopen the conversation.
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, Simón on bass and Martín 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.
