Estropeé comes from the verb estropear, which is a highly expressive Spanish word meaning to ruin, damage, or completely spoil something.
In the remix, Romeo Santos confesses, "Reconozco cada falla, estropeé tu corazón" (I recognize every flaw, I ruined your heart). Instead of using a common verb like romper (to break), he chooses this evocative word to dramatically admit that his selfish behavior caused profound, lasting damage to the relationship.
Dominican star Natti Natasha teamed up with Romeo Santos for this dramatic remix, turning her solo heartbreak anthem into a direct argument between two exes. Natti opens by laying out why she left: she completely lost herself trying to please him. She tells him straight, "Nunca pude ser quien era por amarte a tu manera / Me olvidé hasta de ser yo" ("I could never be who I was because I loved you your way / I even forgot how to be me"). Now that she has walked away, she is thriving, discovering her self-worth, and taking time to enjoy life's small details—literally noting, "Ahora empiezo a disfrutar un poco más las rosas" ("Now I begin to enjoy the roses a little more").
Romeo responds by eating total humble pie. He admits his ego ruined everything, calling his past behavior a "dictadura" ("dictatorship") and singing, "Por complejos de ser rey... ignoraba tu corona" ("Because of my complexes about being king... I ignored your crown"). He even breaks the fourth wall with the funny, dramatic line, "Termino en un remix sufriendo por perderte" ("I end up on a remix suffering over losing you"). In Spanish, "los pago con creces" is a great idiom meaning to pay for something with interest or heavy consequences. Romeo knows he is getting his karma, but Natti is not falling for empty promises anymore. While he begs from the sidelines, she is busy celebrating "la mejor versión de mí" ("the best version of me").
