CONTENTS SUMMARY
Ya Lo Sabes (You Already Know)
Qué bonito es entender
Que no consiga imaginarme sin tú amor
Ya ves
Qué bonito es
How beautiful it is to understand
That I can't imagine myself without your love
You see
How beautiful it is

“Ya Lo Sabes” is a heartfelt conversation between two voices that have already discovered the magic of unconditional love. Antonio Orozco and Luis Fonsi celebrate how wonderful it feels to know someone so well you can no longer picture life without them. They trade lines about walking in perfect step, sharing silences that speak volumes, and daring destiny itself to keep up with the strength of their connection. Every chorus blasts the simple yet mighty message: there is no louder cry than this voice of love, one so powerful it can even startle the air around them.

Beneath the poetic flair, the song is really a pledge of trust. The singers promise to gift each other the hardest thing to hold on to – the confidence that everything will be all right as long as they stand together. Uncertainty may loom like a runaway train, and lonely nights may threaten, yet they refuse to “tocar perder” – to even touch the idea of losing. Instead, they savor the everyday miracle of having something “tan sencillo” yet priceless: a love that teaches, protects, and moves time itself. By the final amor, amor, you are left feeling that true partnership is both an adventure and a safe harbor, and that is exactly what makes it so beautiful.

Llegará (It Will Come)
El sol vuelve a salir sin preguntar
Verás como al final empezarás
Siempre te refugias cuando piensas que no hay más
Donde se reencuentra lo que fue y lo que será
The sun rises again without asking
You will see how at the end you will start
You always take refuge when you think there is no more
Where you can find what was and what will be

"Llegará" is a promise of steady companionship. Antonio Orozco sings to someone who feels like they have run out of options, telling them the sun always comes back and a new start is always close by.

The chorus is the heart of the song: a vow to stay near, quiet and close, so the other person doesn't fall. It isn't about grand gestures, it's about showing up in small, constant ways.

By the second verse the song turns hopeful rather than comforting. The line "together it's possible, together it will come" makes the promise mutual: this isn't one person rescuing another, it's two people building something side by side, which fits the song's duet with Juanes.

Mi Héroe (My Hero)
Jamás, lo vi, mirar al miedo con tanto coraje, jamás
Ganar una partida tan salvaje, y yo
Aún llevo tus consuelos de equipaje
Jamás, lo vi, tener tanta sonrisa escaparate, jamás
Never, I saw him, look at fear with so much courage, never
Win a game so wild, and I
I still carry your comforts as luggage
Never, I saw him, have so much storefront smile, never

Antonio Orozco’s “Mi Héroe” is a power-packed love letter to the quiet warriors who walk among us. The lyrics paint the portrait of someone who stares fear in the face, swaps tears for dances, and keeps smiling even when life throws its wildest storms. Orozco marvels at this person’s courage, strength, and emotional wealth, insisting that even oceans full of brave souls could not measure up to a fraction of their valor. Every line piles on new evidence of heroism: cheating death, never complaining, turning pain into inspiration. All the while, the singer lugs around the comforting words this hero once offered, like souvenirs in his suitcase of memories.

At its heart, the song is a tribute to everyday greatness. Orozco is not singing to a caped crusader, but to someone whose superpowers are resilience, kindness, and unwavering optimism. By repeating “Por siempre, serás mi héroe,” he seals an eternal bond of gratitude, reminding listeners that true heroes often live in our own homes and hearts. The track becomes a rallying cry to recognize and celebrate the selfless giants who lift us up—parents, friends, mentors—ordinary people doing extraordinary things.

Devuelveme La Vida (Give Me Back My Life)
Pido perdón por no haber escuchado tus ruegos
Pido perdón por las lágrimas que hablan de mí
Pido perdón por tus noches a solas
Pido perdón por sufrir en silencio por ti
I ask forgiveness for not having listened to your pleas
I ask forgiveness for the tears that speak of me
I ask forgiveness for your nights alone
I ask forgiveness for suffering in silence for you

Devuélveme la vida is a passionate dialogue where Antonio Orozco and Malú lay their hearts on the line. The singer looks back on a broken relationship and openly admits every mistake: ignoring pleas, causing tears, and forcing the other person into lonely, silent nights. With each “Pido perdón” he strips away his pride, confessing he knows forgiveness may never arrive. Yet he still begs for the one priceless gift that only this lost love can deliver: “Devuélveme la vida”“Give me my life back.”

In the chorus, the plea grows into a desperate anthem. He wants her to pick up the shattered “illusion” (hope) that her departure stole, tuck away the bitter memories, and allow both of them to start fresh. The song balances regret with determination: he vows never again to love her in secret or wrap their future in lies. Instead, he hopes honesty and enduring love will convince her that he always cared. The collaboration between Orozco’s raspy sincerity and Malú’s soaring reply turns this simple request into an emotional tug-of-war between past pain and the slim chance of redemption.

Lo Que Tu Quieras Soy (Whatever You Want I Am)
Lo que, lo que tú quieras soy
Lo que, lo que tú quieras soy
Un payaso sin pintura
O el recuerdo de tu mare al despertar
Whatever, whatever you want, I am
Whatever, whatever you want, I am
A clown without makeup
Or the memory of your mother when you wake up

Antonio Orozco built this song out of one vow, sung again and again as its own chorus: "Lo que, lo que tu quieras soy" ("Whatever, whatever you want, I am"). Each verse pushes that promise into a stranger shape - "Un payaso sin pintura" ("A clown without makeup"), "El soldado al que le ordenan disparar" ("The soldier they order to shoot") - until it stops sounding like romance and starts sounding like surrender.

The bridge keeps raising what he is willing to give up: "Seria capaz de regalar mi edad" ("I'd be able to give away my age"), "Seria capaz de hipotecar mi voz" ("I'd be able to mortgage my voice"). By the last chorus he has nothing left to offer that he has not already handed over.

Por Pedir Pedí (For Asking, I Asked)
Hoy pedí prestada una libreta donde escribir
Para decir pedir
Pedí palabras que aún no estaban inventadas
Para tocar pedir
Today I borrowed a notebook where to write
To say, to ask
I asked for words that weren't invented yet
To touch, to ask

Antonio Orozco builds this whole song out of one verb: pedir, to ask. He opens by borrowing a notebook to write in, "Hoy pedí prestada una libreta donde escribir" [Today I borrowed a notebook to write in], as if even the paper had to be requested first. From there the requests pile up into a wishlist of borrowed courage: "Pedí el atrevimiento de una loca" [I asked for the daring of a crazy woman], "Pedí la fe del que rezaba" [I asked for the faith of the one who prayed], "Pedí el valor, el que solo le queda esperanza" [I asked for the courage of the one who has only hope left]. He is describing what he had to borrow, not what he already had.

By the chorus the asking stops being about abstract things and turns toward one person: "Yo soy el prisionero de tus carnes" [I am the prisoner of your flesh]. Every earlier request, the faith, the courage, the daring, was really just him working up to saying that line. The title's wordplay carries the whole idea: por pedir, pedí, "for asking, I asked", a man who spent a song's worth of nerve just to say what he wanted.

Eres (You Are)
Desperté a tu lado, desperté sin aire y desperté
¿Sabes qué? Jamás pensé que el tiempo fuese tiempo
Que mi vida fuese tuya y que mi aire fueran versos para ti
Desperté sabiendo que tus besos me acompañan
I woke up by your side, I woke up without air and I woke up
You know what? I never thought that time was time
That my life was yours and that my air were verses for you
I woke up knowing that your kisses accompany me

Antonio Orozco wakes up and can't stop naming things: "Desperté a tu lado, desperté sin aire y desperté" [I woke up by your side, I woke up without air, and I woke up] — the same verb three times in one breath, like he's still catching up with what happened overnight. He never really explains what changed. He just keeps listing it: "Eres una música con alma, eres tierra y eres agua" [You are music with a soul, you are earth and you are water].

By the last chorus he's run out of comparisons and just admits it: "Eres tanto que no sé ni qué decir" [You are so much that I don't even know what to say]. It's an odd way to close a love song — the words giving out right when he needs them most — but it lands, because everything before it was already proof he'd been trying.

Pídeme (Ask Me)
Soy capaz de no pensar y de saber que lo he encontrado
Podría estar, si es por buscar alguien igual 200 años
Sin comparar, sin despreciar, sin mas que el decorado
No iré a buscar, no iré a por más
I'm capable of not thinking and knowing that I've found it
I could be, if I searched for someone similar, for 200 years
Without comparing, without despising, with nothing more than the decor
I won't go looking, I won't go for more

"Pídeme" turns a love song into a sales pitch. Antonio Orozco frames devotion as a market stall, running a permanent clearance sale on his own heart: "Pídeme, que tengo de oferta lo eterno" [Ask me, I have eternity on offer], "Abrazos al 30% y olvidos a cuarto y mitad" [Hugs at 30% off, and forgetting you at a quarter of the price]. It's a strange, funny way to say "I'll give you anything," dressing up total surrender in the language of a Black Friday flyer.

The joke has a real edge underneath it. He admits straight out, "No es nada que puedas comprar" [It's nothing you can buy], so the whole discount routine is really a trick to get you to ask for what you already want, since left alone you never would. By the time the chorus collapses into "Pídeme, pídeme, pídeme, pídeme" [Ask me, ask me, ask me, ask me], the joke has turned into a plea, and Orozco lets that happen without ever raising his voice.

Estoy Hecho De Pedacitos De Ti (I Am Made Of Little Pieces Of You)
Fue la verde luz
Que sale de tus ojos
Esa luz que alumbra la distancia entre tú y yo
Que llena de esperanzas mi renglón
It was the green light
That comes from your eyes
That light that illuminates the distance between you and I
That fills my line with hopes

This duet with Alejandro Fernández is about being left behind by love and still carrying it. The singer says the light in his eyes was hers, "esa luz que alumbra la distancia entre tú y yo" (that light that lights the distance between you and I), and even now, after a night that "fue gris" (was gray), he is still "hecho de pedacitos de ti" (made of little pieces of you) — her voice, her walk, her laugh. It plays as a quiet inventory of what stays after someone leaves: not the whole person, just the fragments a memory holds onto.

Entre Sobras Y Sobras Me Faltas (Among Leftovers And Leftovers, I Miss You)
Nos faltó una noche de franela
De pijama feo y calcetín por fuera
De sofá con ducha fría y traicionera
Con masaje, crema, una copita y velas
We missed a flannel night
With ugly pajamas and socks sticking out
A couch and a cold, treacherous shower
With massage, lotion, a drink and candles

"Entre Sobras y Sobras Me Faltas" turns on a single pun: sobrar (to be left over) against faltar (to be missing). Antonio Orozco tallies everything a relationship had too much of against everything ordinary it never got to keep. He opens with the missing half: "Nos faltó una noche de franela" [We missed a flannel-pajama night], the plain comfort of an evening in rather than any grand gesture. The chorus makes the arithmetic explicit — "Y sobraron las quinientas veces que dijimos que no" [And the five hundred times we said no were extra] — proof that a relationship can drown in refusals and arguments while still running short on the small, everyday things that would have kept it going.

Estoy Hecho De Pedacitos De Ti (I Am Made Of Little Pieces Of You)
Fue la verde luz
Que sale de tus ojos, esa luz
Que alumbra la distancia entre tú y yo
Que llena de esperanzas mi renglón
It was the green light
That shines from your eyes, that light
That lights up the distance between you and me
That fills my lines with hope

Antonio Orozco builds this ballad around one image: a lover made entirely of pieces of someone else. He opens with ‘Fue la verde luz’ [It was the green light] — the light in her eyes — that fills him with hope even as it starts pulling him apart into fragments.

The hook returns again and again: ‘Yo estoy hecho de pedacitos de ti’ [I am made of little pieces of you]. He inventories her voice, her walk, her laugh, the whispers of April, until the song admits he is built entirely out of someone he can no longer hold. It is a song about being shaped by an absence, one detail at a time.

Rarezas (Oddities)
Rarezas me encuentro
En este día turbio y gris
Mi angustia rasgada
De escribir estas letras por ti
I find oddities
On this murky and gray day
My torn anguish
For writing these lyrics for you

Antonio Orozco opens "Rarezas" admitting he's lost in his own strangeness. "En este día turbio y gris" [On this gray, murky day], he sings, picking at a memory while writing these words for someone far away. He isn't precious about how he comes across either: he calls himself a man who doesn't understand luxury, yet in the same breath sings "Que se bebe los mares por ti" [who drinks up whole oceans for you], an image that makes any expensive gift look small.

The chorus keeps circling back to one place. "Yo me acojo al verde de tus ojos" [I take refuge in the green of your eyes], he sings, next to "La esperanza que nunca perdí" [the hope I never lost]. Later he's less kind to himself: he stares in the mirror and insults his own reflection for never having taken the risk, admitting flatly that time doesn't heal what he's carrying. It's a song about loving someone from far away, and resenting yourself a little for not having said so sooner.

El Viaje (The Journey)
Llevo la vida planeando este viaje
Voy sin maletas, llevaré mi corazón
Sin diccionarios, voy cargado de caricias
Por los senderos del sentir y del amor
I've spent my life planning this trip
I'm going without suitcases, I'll carry my heart
Without dictionaries, I'm loaded with caresses
Along the paths of feeling and love

"El Viaje" turns love into a literal journey. Antonio Orozco opens with "Llevo la vida planeando este viaje" [I've spent my life planning this trip] and immediately drops the usual baggage: "Voy sin maletas, llevaré mi corazón" [I'm going without suitcases, I'll carry my heart]. There's no itinerary, just feeling and instinct steering him — "Tras la huella que me marca la razón" [Following the trace that reason marks for me].

The chorus turns physical: "Caminaré por los poros de tu piel" [I'll walk through the pores of your skin], chasing a cure for old wounds in someone else's mouth — "La única cura son tus besos y tu amor" [The only cure is your kisses and your love]. It's a song about pursuing a person the way you'd pursue a destination, admitting up front he might never actually arrive: "Buscando lo que nunca encontré" [Searching for what I never found].

Te Esperaré (I Will Wait For You)
Gracias, me estás dando las gracias
No te quiero entender
Tú no tienes porqué
Darme las gracias
Thanks, you're thanking me
I don't want to understand you
You don't have to
Thank me

Antonio Orozco's “Te Esperaré” is a ballad about loving someone through doubt, jealousy, and fear rather than around them. The narrator pushes back on gratitude he doesn't want ("No te quiero entender" — "I don't want to understand you") and names the fear driving them apart, from jealousy to the risk of losing each other. The song resolves that tension in its own title, a small paradox: "Y si no me esperaré, te esperaré" — "even if I won't wait for myself, I'll wait for you" — a promise to keep waiting no matter what gets in the way.

Mírate (Look at Yourself)
Mírate eh
La rueda del trapecista y las agujas aún siguen girando
Girando MI esperanza y mis te quieros te están esperando
Esperando se deshace el hielo
Look at yourself, eh
The trapeze artist's wheel and the hands still keep turning
Turning MY hope and my 'I love yous' are waiting for you
Waiting, the ice melts

Antonio Orozco builds "Mirate" around a circus image that keeps turning through the song: "La rueda del trapecista y las agujas aun siguen girando" [The trapeze artists wheel and the needles keep turning]. It sets up a relationship that kept spinning on promises that never landed — "En la copa quedan las palabras que nos prometimos" [The promises we made each other are left in the glass] — and the title becomes the chorus command, aimed at both singer and listener: mirate, look at yourself, once the spinning stops.The second half turns from heartbreak toward something closer to advice. "No hay excusa mas valiente que aquella que nunca lo fue" [Theres no braver excuse than the one that never was one] names fear as the real obstacle, and "el miedo ensucia lo que ve" [fear dirties what it sees] makes that explicit — the song argues most of what holds people back is just fear wearing a better argument.

Hoy Será (Today It Will Be)
No estemos serios aquí no pasa nada
Hoy es el día, no puede haber más ganas
Esta llegando te dije que esperaras
La vida está llamando, quien dijo que mañana
Let's not be serious, nothing's happening here
Today is the day, there can't be more desire
It's coming, I told you to wait
Life is calling, who said tomorrow

“Hoy Será” (“Today It Will Be”) turns a moment of hesitation into a decision to act. Orozco opens by talking himself out of overthinking — “No estemos serios aquí no pasa nada” (Let's not be serious, nothing's happening here) — before the chorus commits: “Se trata de lo nuestro, se trata de empezar” (It's about us, it's about starting). The verses lean on physical images rather than vague optimism: “Tus manos son las venas, tus pies serán dos balas” (Your hands are the veins, your feet will be two bullets), “Hoy despegamos, lo de ayer no pesan nada” (Today we take off, yesterday's things weigh nothing). By the last chorus the doubt is behind him: “Las penas son de ayer” (Sorrows are from yesterday) — whatever held him back belongs to a day that's already over.

Temblando (Trembling)
Hoy sé que mis palabras no lo saben
Y tal vez, tal vez, sea mi primera vez
Hoy sé que mi vida te esperaba
Y ya me ves, ya ves poco a poco lo diré
Today I know my words don't know it
And maybe, maybe, it's my first time
Today I know my life was waiting for you
And you see me, you see, little by little I'll say it

"Temblando" is about the disorientation of finally getting something you had stopped believing in. Antonio Orozco opens by admitting he doesn't have the words for it yet: "Hoy sé que mis palabras no lo saben" (Today I know my words don't know it). He spends the first verse listing how long it had been since anything felt alive, the clock that wouldn't stop, the laughter that wouldn't quiet, until the plain confession "Hace tiempo que creía que no podía ser" (For a long time I believed it couldn't be).Then someone actually shows up, and the chorus is where the title earns its keep. He isn't describing certainty, he's describing the shake that comes right after doubt breaks: "Temblando, de pensar que ya te tengo aquí a mi lado" (Trembling, to think that I now have you here by my side). He follows it with a promise, "Y prometo no soltarte de la mano" (And I promise not to let go of your hand), which lands less like a vow and more like something he's saying to steady his own hands.

Dicen (They Say)
Que digan lo que quieran que no me importa nada
Dicen que todo es cuestión de recuerdos
Que el tiempo lo cura y que al fin pasará
Dicen que un clavo a otro clavo lo quita
Let them say whatever they want, that I don't care about anything
They say that everything is a matter of memories
That time heals it and that in the end it will pass
They say that one nail removes another nail

Antonio Orozco and Karol G turn gossip into a catchy anthem. Dicen means “they say,” and the song is packed with all the clichés friends throw at someone who is heartbroken: “time heals,” “a new love will fix it,” “it is only habit.” Over a vibrant pop-flamenco beat, the singers listen to every piece of advice, shrug it off with que digan lo que quieran (“let them say whatever they want”), and confess that none of those tips ease the real pain of missing the one they love.

The chorus keeps firing back at the rumors—Dicen que con el pasar de los días te extrañaré menos…—while the verses reveal the truth: the distance hurts more each day, and the only “problem” is not having that person near. The result is a bold message about owning your feelings, ignoring the noisy crowd, and admitting that heartbreak does not follow anyone’s timeline. It is a fun, rhythmic reminder that sometimes the world can keep talking; your heart will heal at its own pace.

Hoy Todo Va Al Reves (Everything's Backwards Today)
Los golpes no entienden de nada
Sólo de poner la razón del revés
Los jueces entienden de leyes
Pero según donde, se entiende al revés
Hits don't understand a thing
Only about flipping reason upside down
Judges understand laws
But depending on where, it's understood the other way around

Hoy Todo Va Al Revés paints a picture of a world spinning the wrong way, where banknotes speak louder than conscience and even justice seems to read its own laws backward. Antonio Orozco’s passionate vocals mix with Tote King’s sharp rap to list everything flipped on its head: wars fought in the name of faith, courts hiding truths for rent, and tears that sound the same whether you look at them from the front or the back. The chorus hammers the point home – no matter how brightly the sun shines or how much love people still carry, “Aquí manda el dinero y luego el corazón” – first comes the money, then (maybe) the heart.

Yet the song is far from hopeless. By the time Tote King steps in, the track turns into an anthem of resistance: “Más corazón, menos dinero”. He calls listeners to raise their hands for the forgotten, smash the locks, and reclaim words thrown in the trash. The message is clear and catchy – if everything is backward, it is up to us to flip it again and put compassion back on top. Packed with soulful hooks and a punchy hip-hop edge, this song invites you to sing along, think twice, and maybe even help set the world the right way round.
