Arrepiento comes from the reflexive verb arrepentirse, meaning 'to regret' or 'to repent'. Learning reflexive verbs is a key step in mastering Spanish, and this one is packed with emotion.
In the song, the singer admits, "Si veo tu foto, sí me arrepiento de no haber dado mi cien por ciento" (If I see your photo, yes I regret not having given my 100 percent). This single word captures the entire theme of the song: looking back with nostalgia and regret, wishing you could go back and do things differently.
This song is one big, late-night phone call to an ex, and it's full of regret. The singer has had a few drinks, or as he says, "después de cuatro copas" [after four drinks], and now he's calling the one person he can't forget. He knows it's wrong, but he can't help himself. He feels like they have unfinished business and is completely stuck on the amazing life they could have had together. The chorus is just heartbreakingly direct: "Estoy muriéndome por volver / A aquellos tiempos cuando yo no era tu ex" [I'm dying to go back / To those times when I wasn't your ex].
He gets really specific with his memories, even name-dropping a beautiful town in Colombia, Guatapé, where they once were happy. But now, seeing her happy with someone else is "tan difícil" [so difficult]. He admits his own mistakes, confessing that he regrets "De no haber dado mi cien por ciento" [not having given my one hundred percent]. The whole song is a desperate plea, a wish to turn back time and fix what he broke.
