CONTENTS SUMMARY
Próximamente Nada (Coming Soon Nothing)
A un corazón
No se le puede obligar a dar amor
Y no te culpo si vas a decirme adiós
Pues ya entendí que no es amor si no es de dos
To a heart
You can't force a heart to give love
And I don't blame you if you're going to say goodbye
Because I've now understood that it's not love if it's not between two

"Próximamente Nada" is a breakup song that turns the title into a threat. Luis Coronel starts calm, almost fair about it: "A un corazón" / "No se le puede obligar a dar amor" ["A heart can't be forced to give love"], and he says he won't blame her for going. But the line he repeats like a warning label flips that fairness on its head: "Próximamente nada" ["Coming soon: nothing"]. He's telling her exactly what's about to disappear: "Ya se fue" / "El brillo en tu mirada" ["It's already gone, the spark in your eyes"].

The second half moves the same idea forward in time. He imagines catching her in love with someone else after he "por completo te entregué mi corazón" ["completely gave you my heart"], and all he wants back is an answer for what was missing. It's a small, specific complaint dressed up as a prediction, which is why the song lands more like a shrug than a scream.

Mentirosa (Liar)
Me desarmaste con más de un millón de encantos
Y qué triste es darme cuenta que todo fue tan falso
¿Para qué me diste a probar de tus besos?
Me decías tanto 'Te quiero' y aquí me tienes sufriendo
You disarmed me with over a million charms
And how sad it is to realize everything was so false
Why did you let me taste your kisses?
You told me "I love you" so much, and here I am suffering

Luis Coronel spends "Mentirosa" done with someone who keeps saying sorry and expecting it to still work. He opens by admitting she got past his guard: "Me desarmaste con más de un millón de encantos" [You disarmed me with over a million charms], and then the letdown hits him just as hard, "y qué triste es darme cuenta que todo fue tan falso" [and how sad it is to realize everything was so false].

The hook says the rest in one line, "Eres una mentirosa" [You're a liar], and he lays out exactly why: she hurts him and thinks an apology fixes it, "El corazón me lastimas y perdón mañana imploras" [You hurt my heart, and tomorrow you beg for forgiveness], and it keeps working on him anyway, "Tu cara de arrepentida conmigo siempre funciona" [Your sorry face always works on me]. It's a banda breakup song built on that one contradiction, still hurt, still charmed, and still calling her out for it.

Me Voy De Rumba (I'm Going to Party)
Si esta en tus planes
Intentar dañar mi noche
Se ve que no me conoces
Porque
If it's in your plans
To try to ruin my night
It seems you don't know me
Because

"Me Voy De Rumba" is Luis Coronel deciding heartbreak doesn't get to cancel his night out. He shrugs off an ex who tried to spoil his nights, "Intentar dañar mi noche" ("To try to ruin my night"), and answers with a flat refusal, "No voy amargar mi vida así" ("I'm not going to make my life bitter like this"). The verses work through the breakup like a checklist: deleting her from Instagram, skipping the fights, calling the whole relationship a trip he finally woke up from, "Yo ya desperté del viaje" ("I already woke up from the dream"). By the chorus he's not arguing his case anymore, just repeating "Yo llego hasta aquí" ("I'm done here") until it sticks, then heading out to party without her.

Me Voy De Rumba (I'm Going to Party)
Si está en tus planes
Intentar dañar mis noches
Se ve que no me conoces
Porque no voy a dejar de ser por ti
If it's in your plans
To try to ruin my nights
It seems you don't know me
Because I won't stop being myself for you

"Me Voy De Rumba" is Luis Coronel refusing to let heartbreak cancel his night out. He opens by daring an ex to try and ruin things, "Intentar dañar mis noches" ("To try to ruin my nights"), but shuts the door on that fast, promising "No voy a amargar mi vida así" ("I won't make my life bitter like this"). The verses turn the breakup into a to-do list: block her on Instagram, skip the fights, wake up from the whole thing like it was a bad trip. Then Farruko crashes the track for a quick, half-spoken cameo, "Compa Farru, Luis Coronel, con sentimiento!" ("Homie Farru, Luis Coronel, with feeling!"), before the hook comes back around with a shout-out to "Mexico y Puerto Rico" ("Mexico and Puerto Rico") that widens the party to both artists' fans. By the end there's no big speech about healing, just a guy who decided going out is the better plan.

Tenerte (To Have You)
Te quiero en mi presente y mi futuro
Pues me siento más seguro
Cuando estás aquí a mi lado
Que tú me quieras es mi gran orgullo
I love you in my present and my future
Because I feel safer
When you're here by my side
That you love me is my great pride

Luis Coronel's "Tenerte" ("Having You") is a love song built on gratitude rather than pursuit — the singer already has the person he wants and is naming what that feels like. He opens by anchoring her in both directions of his life at once: "Te quiero en mi presente y mi futuro" [I love you in my present and my future]. Pride runs through the song more than longing does — "Que tú me quieras es mi gran orgullo" [That you love me is my great pride] — as if being chosen is the achievement, not the chase.

The chorus keeps circling back to one plain claim: "Tenerte es lo mejor que me ha pasado" [Having you is the best thing that's happened to me]. It's a simple, repeated line, and the repetition is the point — the song isn't reaching for a new way to say it each time, it's just insisting on it.

Cuando La Miro (When I Look at Her)
Cuando la miro
Me ha robado el alma un gran suspiro
Si a mi lado pasa
Me suda la piel y me ataranta
When I look at her
A great sigh has stolen my soul
If she passes by me
My skin sweats and she stuns me

Luis Coronel spends "Cuando La Miro" nursing a crush he's too shy to say out loud. It opens with "Cuando la miro, me ha robado el alma un gran suspiro" ("When I look at her, a great sigh has stolen my soul") and stays there — every verse adds another private, almost childish proof of how far gone he is: her name written "En todas mis libretas" ("In all my notebooks"), "Te amo" scrawled "En todas mis paredes" ("on all my walls"). The chorus keeps circling the same stuck question, "Cómo le hago para que sepa" ("How do I do it so she knows"), because none of that devotion has made it past the page — he still can't get the words out face to face.

It's a small, specific kind of love song: less a declaration than a rehearsal, banda horns carrying the nerve he hasn't found yet.

Naci Para Amarte (I Was Born to Love You)
Cuando me abrazas
Se me quita el frío
Cuando me besas
Mas y mas me enamoro
When you hug me
The cold goes away
When you kiss me
I fall more and more in love

Luis Coronel keeps this one simple: a love that feels like destiny rather than a choice. He sings that her hug makes the cold disappear and her kiss stirs something he can't quite explain — 'Lo que tú me provocas' ('What you make me feel') — before landing on the line that gives the song its title, 'Que nací para amarte' ('That I was born to love you'). It's a banda ballad built around one steady conviction, repeated like a vow rather than a boast: 'Pues mi amor es tan grande' ('Cause my love is so great').

Mi Vida (My Life)
Y esto es un poco de mi vida
Y lo que he vivido
Buen carácter al tratar y saber trabajar
Poco a poco ha crecido
And this is a bit of my life
And what I've lived
A good nature and knowing how to work
Little by little it's grown

"Mi Vida" is Luis Coronel looking back at where he started and giving credit for how far he's come. He opens with “Y esto es un poco de mi vida” (“And this is a bit of my life”), tracing a path built on hard work and staying humble rather than luck.

The heart of the song is gratitude: “Y a mi padre ahí le va hasta el cielo” (“And to my dad, this goes up to heaven”) dedicates the success straight to his father, and “La humildad no es para quejarse” (“Humility isn't for complaining”) sums up the attitude that got him there — keep your head down, work hard, and let the banda do the celebrating.

Somos Ajenos (We Are Strangers)
Como estas, tan to tiempo sin verte
Ve nomas tan bella como siempre
Yo muy bien gracias por preguntarme
Y al igual me da gusto mirarte
How are you, so long without seeing you
Just look, as beautiful as always
I'm very well, thanks for asking
And likewise, I'm glad to see you

Have you ever run into an ex and felt that immediate spark again? That's exactly what Luis Coronel and Nena Guzman sing about in "Somos Ajenos"! They meet by chance, and it's clear they still have feelings for each other. They catch up over coffee, and the lyrics say, "Y charlamos varias horas se nos fue volando el tiempo" [And we chatted for several hours, time flew by]. They're so lost in conversation, they don't even care who sees them.

It's a bittersweet story because even though they still miss each other and think about each other daily, as the song says, "Como te extraño, yo aun te quiero / No te he olvidado, diario te pienso" [How I miss you, I still love you / I haven't forgotten you, I think of you daily], they realize they can't be together. The blunt truth comes out: "Pero somos ajenos" [But we are strangers]. It's a relatable feeling of having to let go of someone you still care deeply for because circumstances just don't allow it.

Sólo Un Poquito (Just A Little Bit)
Cuando te haces la difícil tú te miras más hermosa
Cuando no me pelas ni me escuchas quiero morder tu boca
Mientras tú me ignoras yo aquí seguiré insistiendo como un loco
Lo hago solamente porque sé que también te gusto un poco
When you play hard to get, you look more beautiful
When you don't pay attention to me or listen to me, I want to bite your mouth
While you ignore me, I'll keep insisting here like a crazy person
I do it only because I know you also like me a little

Luis Coronel plays coy in "Sólo Un Poquito," teasing a crush who plays hard to get and then accuses him of being too much. He pushes back on her exaggerating: "¿Que estoy llamándote cada cinco minutos?" ("That I'm calling you every five minutes?") — he only called ten times, not the dozens she's imagining. He admits he keeps trying anyway: "Mientras tú me ignoras yo aquí seguiré insistiendo como un loco" ("While you ignore me, I'll keep insisting here like a crazy person"), and by the chorus he has scaled his ask down to the bare minimum: "Con solo un poquito, solo dame un poquito" ("With just a little bit, just give me a little bit").

Una Historia Más (One More Story)
Se quedó en lo que pudimos ser
Solo fueron un par de momentos
Un amor del que no van a hablar
Una historia con pocos recuerdos
It stayed in what we could be
It was only a couple of moments
A love that they are not going to talk about
A story with few memories

Luis Coronel sings about a romance that never had the chance to become something lasting. The couple shared only a handful of moments and once pictured a shared future — waking up together, 'Amanecer abrazados en la misma cama' [To wake up embraced in the same bed] — but bad luck kept it from ever becoming real.

Rather than dwell in anger, the song settles into quiet regret. 'Pudo ser un para siempre, una historia diferente' [It could have been a forever, a different story], he admits, before accepting that replaying what could have been changes nothing: 'el hubiera no existe' [the "would have" does not exist].

Dime Qué Se Siente (Tell Me How It Feels)
Dime qué se siente ser todo en mi vida
Dime qué se siente ser mi principio y fin
Qué se siente saber que es para siempre
Esto que tenemos que es eterno y es así
Tell me what it feels like to be everything in my life
Tell me what it feels like to be my beginning and end
What it feels like to know it's forever
This that we have, that is eternal and that's how it is

Luis Coronel spends this whole song asking one question over and over: what does it feel like to be loved this much? He opens with "Dime qué se siente ser todo en mi vida" (tell me what it feels like to be everything in my life), and from there he keeps piling it on. She's his beginning and his end, and whatever they have together is eternal.

He calls the moment they met magical and admits the way he loves her is illogical, like he can't fully explain it, only that being with her turned him into a different person. The chorus is where he really lets go: "El amor de mi vida, mi amiga, mi universo" (the love of my life, my friend, my universe), followed by the line that gives the song its warmth, "Y al mirarte sé que Dios se acordó de mí" (and when I look at you, I know God remembered me). It's a simple, sincere love song, no twist, no drama, just a guy who can't believe his luck and wants to say so.

Escápate (Getaway)
Entiéndelo no puedo mas
Estar sin ti no se me da
Amor yo te juro me muero sin verte
Las horas se me pasan lento
Understand, I can't anymore
I can't be without you
My love, I swear I'll die without seeing you
The hours pass slowly for me

"Escápate" is a breathless late-night invitation: the singer is parked outside, giving the person he's singing to only a couple of minutes to slip away with him. He promises a whole night together — the back seat of his car standing in for a hotel room, a stretch of highway standing in for anywhere far away — and pushes for an answer before sunrise. It's a young, impulsive kind of romance, more about the rush of sneaking off together than about any specific destination, which fits Luis Coronel's early-2010s norteño-pop sound aimed at a teenage audience discovering first love (and first curfews) at the same time.

Cuando Hay Amor (When There Is Love)
No cabe duda que te gusta llorar
Y mira, yo bien quitado de la pena
No tengo celos, este amor vale lo que pesa
Seguirte el rollo a ni una parte me lleva
There is no doubt that you like to cry
And look, I'm well rid of the pain
I'm not jealous, this love is worth what it weighs
Following your bullshit doesn't take me anywhere

Luis Coronel's "Cuando Hay Amor" is a sassy, confident take on a love that's a bit of a rollercoaster! Our singer is pretty sure his partner loves to cry, saying, "No cabe duda que te gusta llorar" [There's no doubt you like to cry]. But he's not bothered, declaring, "No tengo celos, este amor vale lo que pesa" [I'm not jealous, this love is worth its weight]. He's even telling them to go off and learn their lesson: "Anda, vete para que aprendas a llorar" [Go on, go so you learn to cry].

He's convinced that no matter what, they'll always come back to him. He sings, "Cuando hay amor ya no hay olvido" [When there's love, there's no forgetting] and warns, "Y va a estar duro para que igualen mi estilo" [And it's going to be hard for them to match my style]. He knows his partner can't really escape, asking, "¿De cuándo a acá te sientes tan libre de mí?" [Since when do you feel so free of me?] because "Si cuando digo que me voy, se te mojan los ojitos" [If when I say I'm leaving, your eyes get wet]. It's a playful, bold declaration that their love is destined, ending with the sweet line, "Si para amarnos tú y yo a este mundo vinimos" [If to love each other you and I came to this world].

Órale (Alright)
Aquí estoy
Sufriendo por tu amor
En la misma habitación
Cuarto veintitrés del motel
Here I am
Suffering for your love
In the same room
Motel room twenty-three

Luis Coronel's "Órale" is a fiery tale of heartbreak and revenge! Our singer is in a bad way, stuck in a motel room, "Cuarto veintitrés del motel" [Room twenty-three of the motel], where he and his ex used to have fun. Now he's just "Sufriendo por tu amor" [Suffering for your love] and getting drunk by himself. He knows giving her his love was a mistake because she's moved on, "Tan contenta de otros brazos abrazada" [So happy, embraced by other arms], and doesn't care about him at all.

But don't feel too bad for him, because he's ready for some payback! He warns her, "Quieres jugar sucio / Pero vas a ver" [You want to play dirty / But you're going to see]. He believes in karma, telling her, "El karma pega duro / Tú lo vas a ver" [Karma hits hard / You're going to see]. He thinks she'll lose everything because she didn't value his faithful love, saying she'll lose him, herself, and "el mundo / Que tenía para darte / Solo por una aventura" [the world / That I had to give you / Just for an adventure]. It's a pretty intense warning, right?

Dios No Se Equivoca (God Is Never Wrong)
¿Qué hice para merecerte? No lo sé
Pero sé que nadie va a quererte como yo te quiero
Porque le das sentido a mi vida, motivos
Para ser feliz, muy feliz
What did I do to deserve you? I don't know
But I know that nobody's gonna love you like I love you
Because you give meaning to my life, reasons
To be happy, very happy

Have you ever felt so incredibly lucky in love that you just can't believe it? That's exactly what Luis Coronel is singing about in "Dios No Se Equivoca"! He's completely smitten and keeps asking, "¿Qué hice para merecerte? No lo sé" [What did I do to deserve you? I don't know]. It's that feeling when someone brings so much joy into your life that they become your "lugar preferido" [favorite place].

This song is all about the deep conviction that this love isn't just luck; it's destiny. Luis believes "Dios no se equivoca y nos quiso juntos" [God doesn't make mistakes and wanted us together]. Now, his mission is to make this person happy, to "llevarte de mi mano y verte feliz" [take you by my hand and see you happy]. He even declares, "Si para quererte fue que yo nací" [If to love you was why I was born]. It's a really sweet and devoted promise to always be there, because for him, "el mundo se me viene abajo si no estás conmigo" [my world falls apart if you're not with me].
