Cobardemente translates to "cowardly" or "in a cowardly manner." It's a strong adverb that describes an action performed without courage or with fear.
In the song, the lyric "cuando cobardemente te dieron para tirar" (when they cowardly gave you away to throw) suggests a betrayal or a hurtful act committed by others who lacked the courage to face the consequences or act honorably. This word adds a dramatic and emotional weight to the narrative, highlighting the pain caused by such an act.
Yiyo Sarante's "Comparame" is a powerful declaration from someone who's tired of being compared to others, especially in a romantic relationship that's clearly gone sour. The singer is done with the games, stating, "No quiero que me vuelvas tanto cajamar" (I don't want you to keep comparing me so much) and "No quiero que te mueras la burla jamás" (I don't want you to ever be made fun of again). It sounds like the person they're singing to has been unfaithful or at least very disrespectful.
He challenges his former lover to compare him to others when they make love, asking, "Compara métodos duros cuando hagas el amor que se siente estar decir será mejor que uno de los momentos porque le Comparación a horas que el nadie puede darle más al norte" (Compare hard methods when you make love, how it feels to say it will be better than one of the moments because the comparison to hours that no one can give more to the north). He's confident that no one can give them more love than he did, even giving permission to compare him, saying, "No me gusta que me comparen eso es de persona inmadura pero yo te doy el permiso para que se duda" (I don't like to be compared, that's for an immature person, but I give you permission to doubt). It's a bold and slightly sassy move, isn't it? He's basically saying, "Go ahead, try to find someone better, you won't!"
Yiyo Sarante, born Eduardo Sarante in the Dominican Republic, is a bachata and salsa singer known for his deep, expressive voice. The seventh of nine children born to Ángel Sarante and María Perdomo, he got his start as a percussionist before making his solo singing debut in 1999, performing in the tourist town of Bávaro.
