CONTENTS SUMMARY
Vidas Pasadas (Past Lives)
Anoche soñé contigo
Soñé que otra ve' pude verte
Hace tanto no te miro
Corriste hacia mí, yo te abracé fuerte
Last night I dreamt about you
I dreamt that once again I could see you
It's been so long since I last saw you
You ran towards me, I hugged you tight

"3AM" sings about a love that keeps pulling him back, even in dreams. The song opens with a dream where he sees the person again after a long time apart, and that memory changes everything for him.

He admits he is used to losing, but refuses to accept losing this person. His friends tell him to move on and forget her, but he cannot let go of a connection this deep. He wonders why the people we love the most are often the ones who leave, and why love does not just last forever.

The song's title, "Vidas Pasadas" ("Past Lives"), points to its closing idea: he believes what they have goes beyond this one lifetime. Whether in this life or the next, he still wants her to stay.

Una Rosa (A Rose)
Yeah-yeah
Tengo en la mano una rosa
Que nunca te pude dar
Y ahora cambiaron las cosas
Yeah-yeah
I have a rose in my hand
that I could never give you
And now things have changed

"Una Rosa" is about holding on to love you never got to fully give. The singer still carries a rose and an old letter meant for someone he lost touch with, wishing he'd said what he never managed to say.

Years later he still thinks of her, calling her the prettiest one in the room, and admits he's still the same fool behind the scenes, wondering if she'll ever love someone else the way he loved her. He's trying to move on and be happy with someone new, but everything he learned about love, he learned loving her, and he tattoos those memories into who he's become.

By the end he's not asking her to come back, just hoping that if she ever hears this song, she'll remember that she was the best part of his story.

Disfruto: Challenge (I Enjoy: Challenge)
Me complace amarte
Disfruto acariciarte
Y ponerte a dormir
Es escalofriante
I am pleased to love you
I enjoy caressing you
And putting you to sleep
It's chilling

"Disfruto" is about the pull of a love that won't let go. The chorus is tender and almost playful: the singer takes pleasure in loving this person, in holding them close, in watching them fall asleep. It reads like someone savoring a relationship in the moment.

But the verses turn that tenderness into longing. The singer stares at nothing, talks to their pillow, and can't stop thinking about the person who took a piece of them when they left. There's a real urgency in lines like "solo dime, ¿en dónde estás?" (just tell me, where are you?), as if finding them again would fix everything.

By the final verses, the mood shifts to regret. The singer admits they tried to forget, swore they'd move on, and only now realizes they never appreciated what they had. It's a song about loving someone fully, losing them, and being honest about how much that still hurts.

Dime (Tell Me)
Levanta la cara y mírame a los ojos
Solo dime si me quieres o en verdad ya te da igual
No te cambiaría por nada, baby, yo te escojo
Sobre todos los placeres que el mundo me puede dar
Lift your face and look into my eyes
Just tell me if you love me or really you don't care
I wouldn't change you for anything, baby, I choose you
About all the pleasures that the world can give me

Have you ever felt like you love someone more than they love you? That's the heartbreaking situation at the center of "Dime" by Venezuelan duo 3AM. The song is a direct and emotional plea for honesty when a relationship is fading. The singer asks their partner to just look them in the eyes and tell them the truth: "Solo dime si me quieres o en verdad ya te da igual" (Just tell me if you love me or if you really don't care anymore).

The lyrics paint a picture of one-sided love. The singer feels completely devoted, choosing their partner over "todos los placeres que el mundo me puede dar" (all the pleasures the world can give me). However, they've come to the painful realization that the feeling isn't mutual. They feel their soul is broken and they're being treated like a clown, pleading, "no juguemo' a los enamorados" (let's not play at being in love) if the feelings are gone. It's a powerful song about wanting clarity, even when you know the truth is going to hurt.

No Te Olvido (I Won't Forget You)
Ella ve todo
Sí sí sí usando la explicación porque he
Creado mi corazón y aunque te pedí que
Lo cuidarás lo tiraste sin razón orando
she sees everything
yes yes yes using the explanation because I have
created my heart and although I asked you to
you will take care of it you threw it away for no reason praying

Have you ever tried everything to get over someone, but just can't? That's the heart of 3AM's song, "No Te Olvido." The singer is dealing with a painful breakup, feeling like he gave his heart to someone who just "threw it away without reason." He's left heartbroken, trying desperate measures to move on.

He sings about all the things he's done to forget her, from drinking and trying to lose himself to letting his hair grow and even learning French! But no matter what he does, memories of her—her smile, her smell, their kisses—keep coming back. It's a powerful song about how difficult it is to erase someone you once loved, even when you know they never truly loved you back.

Desde El Más Allá (From the Beyond)
3 m
Y sí sí
El seco hacia un hombre equivale a 0 en
Todo es que le habla le pone un pero
3m
And yes yes
the seco towards a man is equivalent to 0 in
everything is that he speaks to him he puts a but

This song by Venezuelan duo 3AM dives into a relationship that's all about passion and has zero emotional strings attached. The lyrics describe a woman who calls the singer for late-night encounters, making it clear that she doesn't want to be treated like a "lady" (dama). She sets the rules for their connection, and the number one rule is: don't fall in love.

She openly tells him, "don't get your hopes up" (no te ilusiones), as her "favorite sport is breaking hearts" (su deporte favorito [es] rompecorazones). Their time together is described as "nights of passion with zero emotions" (noches en la pasión con cero emociones), where both are just looking for "fun without worries" (diversión sin preocupaciones). It's a look at a modern, purely physical relationship where love is intentionally kept out of the picture.

Aquí Sigo (I'm Still Here)
Ya me cansé
De que todo el mundo quiera hablarme del amor
Cuando el amor para mí hace tiempo se murió
No encuentro consuelo, algo dentro se me rompió
I'm tired
Of everyone wanting to talk to me about love
When love for me died a long time ago
I can't find solace, something inside me broke

Have you ever felt completely over the idea of love? In "Aquí Sigo," the singer expresses exactly that feeling. He's tired of everyone talking about romance when, for him, love is dead and something inside him is broken. He rejects the idea that you need a partner to be happy, especially after the pain of a past relationship where the love wasn't returned equally.

Despite this cynical outlook, he admits he's still stuck—"aquí sigo" means "here I still am." He's haunted by memories of what his ex did to him and dreams of the future they never had. He confesses to coping with alcohol and being unable to accept being just friends. The relationship that started with loving gazes and big promises has faded, leaving him feeling hurt and changed. As a defense, he now avoids deep connection, saying that since loving one person hurt him, he now has more than two.

No La Encuentro (I Can't Find Her)
No
Supe desde el primer momento que algún
Día sería mi cara frente a mí la más
Bella mujer su cuerpo sus monumentos
no no
I knew from the first moment that someone
day would be my face in front of me the most
beautiful woman her body her monuments

"No La Encuentro" is a song about longing and regret. The singer describes falling for a woman from the very first moment he saw her, but never quite finding the courage to tell her how he felt.

By the time he wants to say it, she is gone, and he is left searching for her in his memory, replaying the moment he let slip away. The chorus repeats his central ache: he looks for her and can't find her.

The second half of the song turns inward, as he blames his own fear for the loss and admits he doubts he will ever find someone better. It's a simple, heartfelt song about the cost of staying silent when it mattered most.

Hasta Que Lo Pierdes (Until You Lose It)
Últimamente estado pensando en nuestra
Relación y me di cuenta de que veré con
Más de lo que me das yo sé que tú me
Quieres no estrictamente 15 pero yo
lately been thinking about our
relationship and realized that I will see with
more than what you give me I know that you give me
you want not strictly 15 but i

Have you ever heard the saying, 'You don't know what you have until you lose it'? That's the powerful message at the heart of 3AM's song "Hasta Que Lo Pierdes." The singer looks back on a relationship and realizes it was completely unbalanced. He felt he was giving much more than he was receiving and decided he deserved something more stable. He accuses his ex-partner of playing with his feelings just for fun, but now he declares that this time, they are the one who has lost.

The song is a journey of reclaiming self-worth after a difficult breakup. The singer points out that his ex's feelings were 'drowned in vanity' and that they cared more about material things. While he's hurting, he finds strength in the people who truly love him: his friends and his parents. In the end, it's a powerful anthem about choosing to be alone rather than with someone who doesn't appreciate you, and realizing that you have everything you need without them.

Mándame Una Foto (Send Me a Photo)
Esto de no tocarte ya me tienes mal me
Estás dando vueltas en la cabeza ya no
Aguanto el peso de esta soledad me estoy
Golpeando contra la mesa y es que nunca
This not touching you already has me wrong
you're spinning in your head no more
I bear the weight of this loneliness I am
hitting against the table and it is that never

Ever missed someone so much it feels like you're going crazy? That's the heart of 3AM's song, "Mándame Una Foto." The singer is struggling with the pain of being separated from someone they love deeply. He describes feeling lost, lonely, and unable to bear the "weight of this loneliness." The distance is so difficult that he feels like he's "going crazy" and that the "lack of you is going to kill me."

To cope, he clings to memories and digital connections. He asks his love to "send me a photo" just to feel like things are still the same and to get a "signal that this distance will never affect us." He finds comfort in seeing her on his phone, even though it's hard to accept she isn't physically there. The song captures that intense feeling of longing in a long-distance relationship, where every moment apart feels like an eternity and all you want is a sign that your love will survive.

Siempre (Always)
Tener no es querer al igual que querernos
Es cuidar lo que luego se extraña
Uno si sabe lo que tiene cuando lo pierde
Y eso es lo que daña
Having is not wanting, just like wanting each other
It's taking care of what we later miss
One only knows what they have when they lose it
And that's what hurts

In "Siempre," which means "Always," the Venezuelan duo 3AM explores the painful aftermath of a lost love. The song is a raw confession of regret and loneliness, built around the classic idea that "you don't know what you've got 'til it's gone." The singer reflects on how he took a special relationship for granted, only realizing its true value after it ended. He admits to losing himself while trying to make others proud, creating a gap between how he appeared and how he truly felt inside.

The lyrics reveal a deep struggle with self-acceptance, which was made easier by a person who loved him just as he was. Losing this person feels as difficult as learning to accept himself. Now, he's left with an emptiness that a promise of "forever" couldn't fill. The song is a heartfelt message to this lost love, telling them that no matter where they are, he will siempre—always—love and miss them, even if he never sees them again.

Benihana
Big John de tu comic your enemy
Big John de tu comic your enemy
Big John de tu comic your enemy
Big John de tu comic your enemy
Big John from your comic your enemy
Big John from your comic your enemy
Big John from your comic your enemy
Big John from your comic your enemy

"3AM" is a swaggering Spanish trap song built on comic-book bravado. The singer compares himself to a samurai carrying a katana, name-checks a comic villain, and drops references to Maradona and a champion boxer to paint himself as untouchable.

Underneath the flexing sits a real contradiction. The hook keeps repeating that he has nothing and needs nothing, even while the verses list watches, status, and confidence. That tension between having it all and wanting for nothing is the emotional core of the song.

By the end, the clock hits 3 AM and the mood turns loose and celebratory, closing out with a repeated chant to his girl, a victory lap after a night of proving himself.

LQTQH (What I Want To Do To You)
Tantas palabras, pero contigo se me hacen poca'
Porque ninguna sirve para describir
To' lo que siento cada vez que te muerdes la boca
Hay tanto por hacer, tan poco por decir
So many words, but with you they are few for me'
Because none of them serve to describe
Everything I feel every time you bite your mouth
There is so much to do, so little to say

Have you ever been so attracted to someone that words just don't feel like enough? That's the feeling at the heart of "LQTQH" by 3AM. The title itself is an acronym for "Lo Que Te Quiero Hacer," which translates to "What I Want to Do to You." The singer is completely captivated, confessing he can't stop thinking about this person and the intense connection they share. He's tired of hiding his feelings and wants to be direct, urging them both to let go and seize the moment.

Beyond the initial rush of desire, the song touches on a deeper emotional vulnerability. The singer admits to a past of avoiding rejection and feeling empty, but with this person, he feels brave enough to take a chance on love. He sees a unique and precious quality in them that goes beyond superficial looks, comparing their beauty to watching the sun touch the sea. It's a song about moving past old fears and daring to walk towards a powerful, all-consuming connection.

LQND (What No One Said)
Todo llega a su final
Y el tiempo se llevó nuestro diciembre
Duele ver que no va a regresar
Yo sé que nada dura para siempre, eh-eh
Everything comes to an end
And time took our December
It hurts to see that he is not coming back
I know that nothing lasts forever, eh-eh

Have you ever wished you could go back in time just to say something you left unsaid? That's the powerful feeling at the heart of 3AM's song "LQND," which stands for "Lo Que Nunca Dije" or "What I Never Said." The singer reflects on a relationship that has ended, accepting the hard truth that "nothing lasts forever." However, the real pain isn't just the breakup; it's the heavy weight of all the words that are now "damaging my mind."

This song is a deep dive into regret. The singer is haunted by his silence, wishing he could tell his past love how much he cared and how much she made him feel. This regret is so strong that it's the first thing he thinks of when he remembers her. He even imagines carrying these unspoken words with him into "another life," hoping for a second chance to finally say everything he couldn't before.

Tiempo (Time)
Nunca imaginé que llegaría hasta aquí
Que este sería el final del cuento
Tú sabes lo bien que me hiciste sentir
Y ahora sabes lo que no siento
I never imagined that I would get this far
That this would be the end of the story
You know how good you made me feel
And now you know what I don't feel

Have you ever felt like you and someone you cared about were just never on the same page? In "Tiempo," Venezuelan duo 3AM explores the pain of a one-sided relationship where the timing was always wrong. The singer looks back on a love story that has reached its "final chapter," remembering how they gave their all while their partner offered nothing in return, not even encouragement.

The song's central idea is captured in the line, "Pero nunca lo hicimos al mismo tiempo" (But we never did it at the same time). The love was real, but it was never mutual. The singer tried to fill a void in their partner's life, only to lose themselves in the process. Despite the heartbreak and feeling like they wasted their time, there's a bittersweet twist at the end: if they could go back, they would give all their time to that person all over again.
