CONTENTS SUMMARY
¿Qué Se Siente Que Me Gustes Tanto? (How Does It Feel That I Like You So Much?)
Hoy conspiran mis suspiros
En contra de mis ganas
Cuando pasas y te miro
Y más allá de lo instintivo
Today my sighs conspire
Against my desires
When you pass and I look at you
And beyond the instinctive

“¿Qué Se Siente Que Me Gustes Tanto?” is a dreamy confession of a crush so intense it feels like a tiny revolution inside the singer’s chest. Every sigh becomes a co-conspirator, betraying his calm each time the object of his affection walks by. He is captivated not only by physical attraction but by a deeper, almost hypnotic spark he sees in their eyes, one that leaves him lost in thought and eager to give everything he has.

Yet this devotion comes with a delicious dose of fear. The singer worries his love might not “fit” the other person, joking that if his heart is the wrong size, the best tailor is heartbreak itself. The chorus repeats the burning question: “What does it feel like that I like you this much?” He admits to being scared of the other’s charm, and even promises to follow them if they ever leave with someone else. The song blends romantic longing, playful exaggeration and vulnerability, capturing the thrilling mix of hope and anxiety that arrives when you realize you’re head-over-heels for someone.

Somos Algo (We Are Something)
Perdóname, mi amor, la indiscreción
¿No ves que tengo prisa?
Para posar mi vida en el lunar
Que habita tu sonrisa
Forgive me, my love, for the indiscretion
Can't you see that I'm in a rush?
To set my life on the birthmark
That lives in your smile

Somos Algo spins a romantic tale about two souls who bump into each other at just the right cosmic second. The singer can hardly wait to “place my life on the beauty spot that lives in your smile,” a poetic way of saying they want to plunge head-first into love. Every line drips with artistic imagery: hearts are “broken so the light can enter,” and the lovers get to choose whether their shared canvas becomes a messy blotch or a masterpiece of abstract impressionism.

Beneath the dreamy metaphors lies a simple, irresistible message. Fate might fling the couple in any direction tomorrow, but the present moment is electric. The world pauses to watch them spin, and neither one can silence the thumping truth in their chest: los dos sentimos algo — they both feel something real, bright, and worth the leap.

Sólo Tú (Only You)
Sólo tú
Mira tan nueva y a la vez común
Me abres a un cielo que aunque no es azul
Me tienes volando aún
Only you
Look so new and at the same time common
You open me up to a sky that, although it's not blue
You still have me flying

“Sólo Tú,” which means “Only You,” is a heartfelt love song about finding everything you need in one person. The singer uses beautiful and unique imagery to describe their beloved. This person is like a 'blessed drop that spills light' and an unconventional compass that points south, making the singer feel like they are flying in a sky that, while 'not blue,' is still a paradise.

This love provides a powerful sense of safety and certainty. The singer knows that if they go hand in hand with this person, they can bet their life and still win because no day is ever lost when they are in love. Together, they can escape to a 'distant world' where fear can't find them—a special place where it's just the two of them.

Yo Esperaré (I Will Wait)
Los hilos que entretejen tu mirada
Están formando nudos entre sí
Tal vez tome una vida deshilarla
O un día se desenreden porque sí
The threads that weave your gaze
Are forming knots among themselves
Maybe it'll take a lifetime to unravel them
Or one day they'll untangle just because

Have you ever felt someone was a beautiful puzzle you couldn't quite solve? In "Yo Esperaré," the singer uses a lovely metaphor to describe this feeling. He sees the person he loves as having a gaze woven from tangled threads—"Los hilos que entretejen tu mirada / Están formando nudos entre sí" (The threads that weave your gaze / Are forming knots among themselves). He understands this person is complicated and perhaps confused, and he knows their attention isn't only for him. Instead of making demands, he decides not to ask for anything, believing there's already "suficiente enredo" (enough entanglement) in their life.

This song is a beautiful declaration of unconditional patience. The singer lays out all the possibilities, promising to be there no matter what. If the person ever feels ready, he will find them. If they choose to run away, he will be a quiet presence, like a "sombra de tus pies" (shadow of your feet). The core message is simple and powerful: "Yo esperaré" (I will wait). But in a final, sweet twist, he also makes it clear that if they want to be loved right now, he's ready for that too.

No Respondo Pt. 2 (I Don't Answer Pt. 2)
No te vayas otra vez porque no respondo
¿No ves que estoy a tus pies? No me dejes solo
Sé que lo volví a hacer, ¿cómo fui tan tonto?
No, no me dejes hoy que me vuelvo loco
Don't leave again because I don't respond
Can't you see that I am at your feet? Do not leave me alone
I know I did it again, how was I so stupid?
No, don't leave me today because I'm going crazy

"No Respondo Pt. 2" is a plea from someone who has already been left once and is terrified it's about to happen again. The singer begs their partner not to walk out, admitting they've made the same mistake before ("I know I did it again, how was I so stupid?") and confessing they don't know how to live without their love.

The lyrics lean into that dependency: without their partner's warmth, light and even their scent, the singer says they don't feel like themselves. Each chorus circles back to the same fear, that this could really be the end, which is why the title's promise not to respond reads less like indifference and more like someone bracing for heartbreak by pretending in advance that it won't hurt.

No Creas Que Ha Sido Fácil (Don't Think It's Been Easy)
No creas que ha sido fácil
Pedirte que te fueras
Después de mil maneras
De no volver a ti
Don't think it's been easy
ask you to leave
after a thousand ways
Of not coming back to you

This song, "No Creas Que Ha Sido Fácil" by Daniel, Me Estás Matando, is a really honest look at how hard it is to end a relationship, even when you know it's for the best. The singer keeps repeating, "No creas que ha sido fácil" [Don't think it's been easy], which really drives home the point that this wasn't a light decision. They talk about having tried "mil maneras de no volver a ti" [a thousand ways not to return to you], showing how much effort went into creating distance.

It's not just about the difficulty of leaving, but also the personal struggle. The line "Sólo estoy escondido en un rincón de mí" [I'm just hidden in a corner of myself] suggests a deep internal battle and a need to retreat. There's also this beautiful, slightly melancholic imagery of confusion: "Y hay cosas que no entiendo que hacen que en mi alma llueva" [And there are things I don't understand that make it rain in my soul]. It's a powerful way to describe feeling overwhelmed and lost, wondering if these feelings are new or just part of a longer process: "no sé si llevan tiempo o el tiempo se las lleva" [I don't know if they've been there a long time or if time takes them away]. Ultimately, the singer is looking for a "sol brillante" [bright sun] but admits, "no lo encuentro en ti" [I don't find it in you], making it clear why the separation, however painful, was necessary.

Hace Mucho Tiempo (A Long Time Ago)
Hace mucho tiempo
Cuando yo era feliz
Despertaba en un beso
De enrollado de ti
a long time ago
when i was happy
woke up in a kiss
of winding of you

Daniel, Me Estás Matando brings us a bittersweet reflection on lost happiness in "Hace Mucho Tiempo" [A Long Time Ago]. The singer looks back to a time "cuando yo era feliz" [when I was happy], waking up to a kiss, completely wrapped up in someone. It's a feeling of deep regret, wondering "ni siquiera entiendo cómo fue que no vi" [I don't even understand how I didn't see] what was happening. He laments how the very best of her laughter now makes her suffer, and how his own talent has been stolen, leaving him ashamed.

He admits he was "ciego a tantos besos" [blind to so many kisses], crying in secret. Now that she's gone, he imagines her discovering his notebook, full of his feelings, saying "diciéndome te quiero" [telling me I love you]. It's a powerful image of unexpressed love and the pain of realizing what you had only after it's gone. The repeated plea "por favor, no" [please, no] at the end really drives home the desperation and longing for a past that can't be recovered.

Hoy No - Commentary (Not Today - Commentary)
Hoy no
Me siento cansado
Me siento perdido, vacío y olvidado
Contigo a mi lado
Not today
I feel tired
I feel lost, empty and forgotten
With you by my side

Have you ever just reached your limit? That's exactly what Daniel, Me Estás Matando is singing about in "Hoy No - Commentary." This song is a powerful declaration of being completely over a toxic relationship. The singer is tired, lost, empty, and forgotten, stating, "Hoy no / Me siento cansado / Me siento perdido, vacío y olvidado" [Today no / I feel tired / I feel lost, empty, and forgotten].

It's a blunt refusal to accept any more lies or betrayals, with lines like "Ya no necesito mentiras, traiciones" [I no longer need lies, betrayals]. The past doesn't matter anymore; all that matters is the pain caused by the other person. The singer loved them deeply, "Pues yo te amaba más allá de mí" [Because I loved you beyond myself], but was repaid with the worst. Now, they just want their life back, even if it's just their heart in pieces: "Devuélveme la vida / O dame, de perdida, mi corazón por partes" [Give me back my life / Or give me, at least, my heart in pieces]. It's a really raw and honest look at the end of a love that was once beautiful but is now just a source of hurt.

¡Ay Loloncho! - Commentary (Oh Loloncho! - Commentary)
Eso es verdad
O no
Comparte sobre un amigo que sabe que
No baila conmigo contigo y todo eso
that's true
or not
share about a friend who knows that
he doesn't dance with me with you and all that

This song, "¡Ay Loloncho! - Commentary" by Daniel, Me Estás Matando, is a super fun and playful take on a friend who's quite the charmer! The lyrics talk about a friend who "no baila conmigo contigo y todo eso" [doesn't dance with me, with you, and all that], but somehow "ya tiene para mí le teme a nada" [already has for me, fears nothing]. It's like this person is fearless and sweet at the same time, living life to the fullest.

The song really gets into how irresistible this friend is, asking "qué sabroso tan precioso que pedro infante y está celoso" [how delicious, so precious that Pedro Infante is jealous]! They're described as "más mañoso rey poroso tú no perdona ni a mi mamá" [more cunning, porous king, you don't even forgive my mom], which is a hilarious way to say they're a total smooth operator. This friend can give you a kiss that makes you "te vuelves loco" [go crazy], and you just can't help but be drawn in. It's a lighthearted and funny look at someone who's just too charming for their own good!

Bien Pedx, Pero Bien Chidx - Commentary (Really Drunk, But Really Cool - Commentary)
El siguiente traje es muy importante en
Nuestras vidas porque probablemente sea
De las composiciones más antiguas que
Tiene la banda del paleolítico del
The following suit is very important in
our lives because it's probably
of the oldest compositions that
It has the Paleolithic band of the

This commentary track for "Bien Pedx, Pero Bien Chidx" gives us a fun peek behind the curtain of how the song came to be! The band members, Daniel, Me Estás Matando, explain that this is one of their oldest compositions, dating back to the "Paleolithic of the bolero" and the "Stone Age of truth." It all started with a voice note sent from Taxco.

The song actually came from Daniel's ex-girlfriend, Valeria Rivas, who loved to party. He'd tell her, "Bien peda, pero bien chida" [Really drunk, but really cool], and she'd respond, "Es el mejor día de mi vida" [It's the best day of my life]. They later fantasized about it becoming an "anthem of alcoholization." The band knew they had to record it, and it finally found its place on this album as a "medio experimental" [half experimental] track, blending quebradita with blues guitar and shouts. They needed a section to balance all the drama on the album, because "uno que va a saber de llorar si no sabe reír" [what does one know about crying if one doesn't know how to laugh]!

Ya Sé (I Already Know)
Que no me quieres ver ya lo sé
Qué estás cansada de mi forma de querer
Que no me entiendes y mis celos te hacen
Yeah
that you don't want to see me, I already know
why are you tired of my way of loving
that you do not understand me and my jealousy makes you

Have you ever been absolutely heartbroken and a little bit dramatic about it? Daniel, Me Estás Matando totally gets it in "Ya Sé" [I Already Know]. This song is a super relatable, slightly over-the-top declaration from someone who knows their ex has moved on and is doing great, but they just can't quite let go. The singer admits, "sí que no me quieres ver ya lo sé" [yes, you don't want to see me, I already know], and lists all the reasons their ex is tired of them: their way of loving, their jealousy, and how their touch no longer excites. Ouch!

It gets even more intense as the singer acknowledges, "ya sé que estás con alguien más" [I already know you're with someone else] and that this new person "tiene todo lo que nunca pude ser" [has everything I could never be]. Despite knowing all this, and even knowing their ex is saying they have no dignity, the singer still calls them up, just to hear their voice. The most heartbreaking line? "mi corazón yo sé que se me quedó en tus labios" [my heart, I know it stayed on your lips]. It's a raw, honest look at that post-breakup pain where you know it's over, but a part of you is still clinging to what was.

Maestro Cisneros (Teacher Cisneros)
Gracias por eso es tan malo
Es más vergonzoso solo
Porque tu amor es mi espiral por las
Cuatro esquinas
thanks for that it's so bad
it's more embarrassing alone
because your love is my spiral for the
four corners

This song is a total declaration of love that doesn't care what anyone else thinks! The singer is completely smitten, even admitting, "es más vergonzoso solo porque tu amor es mi espiral" [it's more embarrassing just because your love is my spiral]. It sounds like their love is so intense it's almost overwhelming, but in a good way.

They're well aware that people are talking about them, saying "hablan de los dos que es un escándalo" [they talk about the two of us, that it's a scandal], and even that the singer is being called names for giving their love. But their response is clear: "no hagas caso de la gente sigue la corriente y quiéreme más" [don't pay attention to people, go with the flow and love me more]. It's a bold and romantic message about choosing love over societal judgment, with a dream of taking their beloved to the stars "a donde nadie nos viera" [where no one would see us].

Si Nos Dejan (If They Let Us)
Si nos dejan
Nos vamos a querer toda la vida
Si nos dejan
Nos vamos a vivir a un mundo nuevo
If they let us
We are going to love each other for life
If they let us
We are going to live in a new world

This song is a beautiful, hopeful declaration of love and a dream for a future together! The singers imagine a world where, if only they are 'allowed' or 'left alone' ('Si nos dejan'), they will love each other forever. They truly believe they can find happiness and see a 'new dawn' ('el nuevo amanecer') if given the chance.

They want to escape to a 'corner near heaven' ('un rincón cerca del cielo'), making 'velvet with the clouds' ('haremos con las nubes terciopelo'). It's a sweet, almost childlike vision of creating their own perfect world, 'right next to God' ('cerquita de Dios'), where they can live out their dreams. The repeated line, 'Te llevo de la mano corazón / Y ahí nos vamos' [I'll take your hand, my love / And there we go], really emphasizes their desire to just run away together and forget 'everything else' ('De todo lo demás nos olvidamos'). It's a romantic fantasy of pure, unhindered love.

No Soy Nada (I Am Nothing)
Amor mío
Como quisiera tenerte conmigo
Regresar el reloj y volver
A sentir tus latidos
My love
How I would like to have you with me
Turn back the clock and come back
to feel your heartbeats

This song, "No Soy Nada" by Daniel, Me Estás Matando, is a really intense and emotional journey through a breakup. The singer is absolutely heartbroken, wishing he could turn back time to be with his love again, to "sentir tus latidos" [feel your heartbeats]. It's a feeling many of us can relate to, that desperate longing for what was.

But it's not just about missing someone; there's a deep sense of self-sacrifice here. He even says, "Por el bien de los dos yo me voy / Si sonríes mañana" [For the good of us both I'm leaving / If you smile tomorrow]. He believes his presence is actually holding his loved one back, concluding with the powerful and self-deprecating line, "No soy yo al que debes querer / Porque yo no soy nada" [I'm not the one you should love / Because I am nothing]. It's a sad but beautiful expression of putting someone else's happiness before your own, even if it means erasing yourself from their life.

Te Vi En El Mar (I Saw You In The Sea)
Te vi en el mar, amor
Resaltando entre las olas con la intensidad del sol
Te vi en el mar, amor
Rescatando los paisajes que perdí en el mirador
I saw you in the sea, love
Standing out among the waves with the intensity of the sun
I saw you in the sea, love
Rescuing the landscapes I lost at the viewpoint

This song is a beautiful, dreamy serenade where the singer sees their love by the sea, and it's almost like a vision! They describe seeing this person "resaltando entre las olas con la intensidad del sol" [standing out among the waves with the intensity of the sun], which is such a vivid image. It's clear this person brings immense joy and a sense of renewal, as the singer mentions them "rescatando los paisajes que perdí en el mirador" [rescuing the landscapes I lost at the viewpoint] and how the sun "renacer de tu sonrisa" [is reborn from your smile].

It feels like a moment of pure, blissful connection. The singer is completely drawn in, saying "la corriente me arrastró sin remedio entre la brisa" [the current dragged me without remedy in the breeze]. They see their love contemplating truth and even replacing the sky's definition with their gaze. The song ends with a simple, heartfelt plea: "No me sueltes, por favor" [Please don't let me go], making it a sweet and earnest declaration of wanting to stay in that perfect moment forever.

Tú, Amor (You, Love)
Miraré de más
A perder el
Suelo
Tomar un día un rincón entuteló y
I will look more
to lose the
floor
take a corner sheltered one day and

Have you ever just looked at someone and felt like your whole world shifted? That's exactly what Daniel, Me Estás Matando and María Victoria are singing about in "Tú, Amor." It's all about that intense, almost overwhelming feeling of being so captivated by someone that you just want to stay in that moment forever.

The lyrics talk about looking so much that you "perder el suelo" [lose the ground] beneath you, and wanting to "quedarme a vivir" [stay and live] in that gaze. It's a beautiful, dramatic declaration of love, where simply looking at the person makes the singer feel like "el cielo sí es verdad" [heaven is real]. But there's also a hint of vulnerability, a plea not to be looked at in the same way, because the intensity of that feeling is almost too much to bear. It's like they're saying, 'I love looking at you, but if you look at me like that, I might just melt!'
