CONTENTS SUMMARY
Era Tranquila (She Was Calm)
A ella le gusta salir
Caminar y seducir
Vestir muy elegante
Apasionante
She likes to go out
Walk and seduce
Dress very elegant
Exciting

“Era Tranquila” bursts with tropical pop energy and tells the story of a woman who has flipped the script on her own life. Once the timid partner who followed the rules, she is now newly single, stunningly confident, and ready to take on the night. The lyrics paint vivid scenes: she walks the beach in style, every head turning as she passes, and the gossip mill can hardly keep up with her thrilling transformation.

Behind the catchy beat lies a message of liberation and self-discovery. Tired of arguments and heartbreak, she swaps commitment for carefree laughter, endless dancing, and no-strings-attached fun. The refrain, “Era tranquila pero ahora ya no” (“She used to be calm but not anymore”), celebrates breaking free from old expectations and choosing joy over disappointment. In short, Marama’s feel-good anthem invites listeners to join her on the dance floor, shake off the past, and embrace the freedom of living in the moment.

Enemigos (Enemies)
No me vas a sacar fácil de tu mente
Sabes cómo fui soy indiferente te quise
Como nadie fue sinceramente no me
Importó nunca lo que dijo la gente
you're not going to get me out of your mind easily
You know how I was, I am indifferent, I loved you
Since no one was honestly not me
it never mattered what people said

Ever had a breakup so bad that your ex went from your true love to your sworn enemy? That's the fiery story in Marama's song "Enemigos." The singer tells their ex-partner that they won't be forgotten easily, especially since the love they gave was sincere and ignored what other people said. But everything changed with one big problem: lies. The singer declares, "I came for love and I'm leaving because you lie to me."

Now, the feelings have completely flipped. The singer, who once loved deeply, is now indifferent and wants to be left alone, saying, "Don't call me, don't look for me, forget me." Though it was a difficult process, they have finally moved on. The chorus makes it clear there's no going back: "You deserve it, you have me as an enemy, I don't want to be with you." The singer looks back on the relationship and wonders, "What was I even doing with you?" It's a powerful song about finding strength after being hurt and realizing you deserve better.

Bronceado Remix (Tan Remix)
Esperé ocho años para volver a verte
Te busqué cada verano y no hubo suerte
Dime si te pasó igual
O si para vos fui uno más
I waited eight years to see you again
I looked for you every summer and there was no luck
Tell me if the same happened to you
Or if I was just another one for you

Bronceado Remix is a sun-soaked reunion story set to an irresistible cumbia-pop beat. After eight long years of searching every summer, the singer finally bumps into the girl who once stole his heart. One glance at her fresh tan, tiny shorts, and carefree moves is all it takes for the old spark to reignite. He hands her his brand-new remix, pulls her onto the dance floor, and vows to make up for all the time they lost since that unforgettable sunrise back in 2016.

The lyrics celebrate the thrill of rediscovering chemistry: playful compliments, teasing eye contact, and bodies swaying “apretadito” (real close) under the warm summer night. It is a feel-good anthem about living in the moment—embracing freedom, flirting without filters, and letting the music melt away the years apart. With Márama’s Uruguayan vibe, MYA’s smooth Argentine touch, and a dash of Robleis’s energy, Bronceado Remix invites you to dance, smile, and maybe relive your own summer romance while practicing your Spanish.

Nena (Baby)
Baila nena con Márama
Somos dos desconocidos
Que se quieren conocer muy bien
Te lo digo ya y te vi recién
Dance, babe, with Márama
We're two strangers
That want to get to know each other very well
I'm telling you now and I just saw you

Get ready to hit the dance floor! In “Nena,” Márama paints a lively scene where two total strangers lock eyes across a party. The singer is instantly mesmerized by the girl’s confidence and magnetic moves. He calls her nena (a playful way to say “baby” or “girl”) and politely offers to be her caballero – a gentleman – yet he also invites her to let the night unfold without overthinking it. Their chemistry is electric, driven by curiosity, flirtation, and the thrill of the unknown.

As the beat pulses, the lyrics celebrate carefree attraction: stolen kisses, playful teasing, and the idea that sometimes the best connections happen when you stop planning and just dance. It is about embracing spontaneity, enjoying the moment, and discovering someone new through rhythm and movement. In short, “Nena” is a joyful reminder that a single song, a spark of courage, and a shared groove can turn complete strangers into unforgettable partners for the night.

Dame Un Besito (Give Me a Little Kiss)
Dame un besito que no necesito y verás
Que es un poco apresurado pero ya no
Imaginado
Baila negra
Give me a little kiss that I don't need and you'll see
which is a bit rushed but not anymore
imagined
dance black

Have you ever seen someone from across the room and felt an instant connection? That's the magical moment captured in "Dame Un Besito." The song tells the story of seeing someone and feeling like the whole universe has just delivered on a dream you've always had. The singer knows it's a bit fast, or "un poco apresurado," but the feeling is too strong to ignore.

He doesn't just admire from afar. He asks for a little dance and whispers his request for a kiss. It's a bold move, but it's filled with romantic promises. He tells her she won't regret it and that if she gives him her hand, he'll "never let it go." He's so sure of this connection that he can already picture them dancing together even when they're old, or "bailando de viejo."

No Te Vayas (Don't Go Away)
Te grité no te vayas
Siempre que tú estabas mal
Ahí estaba yo dando calma
Abrazándote a tu lado
I yelled don't go
Whenever you were down
I was there giving calm
Hugging you at your side

“No Te Vayas” is a catchy tropical pop track that hides a heartfelt plea beneath its bright, dance-floor vibe. The singer looks back on a relationship in which he was the steady shoulder to cry on: he calmed his partner’s storms, hugged her through the tears, and shared playful moments like pillow fights and sweet texts. Now that she is thinking of walking away, he shouts “don’t go” and admits he is still “madly in love,” confessing that his common sense disappears whenever she is involved.

Despite the upbeat rhythm and the invitation to “dance, girl, with Márama,” the lyrics reveal a bittersweet mix of nostalgia and hope. He knows her smile is hiding tears of love, and he vows that life without their little rituals just will not be the same. The chorus repeats his desperate request for another chance, turning the song into a lively yet tender reminder that sometimes the happiest melodies carry the deepest emotions.

Tal Vez (Maybe)
Tal vez
Ya lo nuestro no sea solo piel
Tal vez me doy cuenta
Que quiero ser fiel
Maybe
What we have isn't just skin anymore
Maybe I realize
That I want to be faithful

“Tal Vez” is a joyful yet heartfelt confession about wanting to turn a casual spark into something real. The singer starts by wondering maybe their chemistry is no longer “just skin.” He realizes he craves loyalty, winter nights spent shoulder-to-shoulder, and waking up at his partner’s feet after dancing the night away with Márama. There is a playful hint of jealousy, but it comes from longing to be everything for this person and to prove that not every lover is a wild heart that will run away.

With catchy tropical beats behind it, the song paints love as both exciting and challenging. It admits long-distance can stretch emotions, but also makes every reunion kiss burn brighter. Past hurts are acknowledged—“I know he made you cry”—yet the narrator promises gentle care and renewed trust. In short, “Tal Vez” invites you to sway, smile, and believe that sometimes attraction can grow into a deeper, faithful connection if you are brave enough to dance toward it.

Loquita (Crazy Girl)
Tú te pones loquita de noche
Te gusta salir con amigas
Un brindis, vasitos arriba
Y tú te pones loquita, mamita
You get crazy at night
You like going out with friends
A toast, little glasses up
And you get crazy, babe

Loquita is an upbeat, tropical pop track that drops you straight onto the dance floor of a lively night out. The lyrics paint a picture of a confident woman who loves to let loose with her friends, clinking glasses “vasitos arriba” and getting a little “loquita” once the music starts. Our narrator watches her with a mix of admiration and temptation, inviting her for a drink, pretending to chat, but really waiting for that electric moment when the flirtation sparks.

The song is all about playful chemistry. As the chorus repeats, we feel the crescendo of a night that’s destined to spiral into carefree fun — or maybe a bit of trouble. Between sensual dances and teasing words, Loquita captures the thrill of losing control, following desire, and celebrating the freedom that only a great party (and great music) can bring.

La Culpa (The Blame)
Acostumbrado a salir lastimado
Por confiar de más
Por querer de más, ey
Pero a tu lado
Used to getting hurt
For trusting more
For wanting more, hey
But your side

Have you ever felt like you've been hurt too many times in love, but then someone comes along and changes everything? That's exactly what Marama and Nacho are singing about in "La Culpa"! The singer starts by admitting he's "Acostumbrado a salir lastimado / Por confiar de más / Por querer de más" [Used to getting hurt / For trusting too much / For loving too much], but with this new person, he feels accompanied and like he can finally win at love.

It's a really sweet song about finding that special connection where "contigo todo es diferente / Lo siento real, el corazón no miente" [with you everything is different / I feel it's real, the heart doesn't lie]. They both agree it's nobody's fault that "nos queremos más de lo que se suponía" [we love each other more than we were supposed to]. Before this person, the singer only had "fallos y fracasos / Un corazón hecho pedazos" [failures and setbacks / A heart in pieces], but now he's found victory and a home in her eyes. He even says, "Yo por ti meto mis manos en el fuego" [For you, I'd put my hands in the fire]! It's clear he's completely smitten and loves that she enjoys when he says, "que eres mía / Solo mía" [that you are mine / Only mine].

Resaca (Hangover)
En una hora
Una
Noche loca para olvidar que si me te va
Mejor
in an hour
a
crazy night to forget that if you leave me
better

Marama's "Resaca" is all about that feeling when you're trying to forget someone, but it's just not working. The singer is having a "noche loca para olvidar que si me te va mejor" [crazy night to forget that if you leave me it's better], trying to drink away the pain of a breakup. But even with all the partying, their "cabeza ya no aguanta más" [head can't take it anymore] because they're still stuck on their ex.

It's a relatable story of trying to move on, but constantly being pulled back by memories. They're going "de resaca en resaca contando los días para tenerte aquí en mi cama" [from hangover to hangover, counting the days to have you here in my bed], showing how much they miss that person. The lyrics really hit home when they say "me cuesta tanto, me está matando para olvidarte sigo tomando y voy de mal en peor" [it costs me so much, it's killing me, to forget you I keep drinking and I'm going from bad to worse]. It perfectly describes that cycle of trying to escape the pain, but only making things harder. It's a fun beat, but the lyrics are definitely about a tough time!

Aunque Te Enamores (Even If You Fall In Love)
Me cuesta tanto poder continuar
Seguir adelante sin mirar atrás
Eres mi pasado que nunca pasó
Y yo sigo aquí, sin tí
It's so hard for me to continue
Moving forward without looking back
You are my past that never happened
And I'm still here, without you

Marama and Luciano Pereyra team up for "Aunque Te Enamores," a song about a love that just won't quit, even after a breakup. The singer is really struggling to move on, admitting, "Me cuesta tanto poder continuar" [It's so hard for me to continue] and "Seguir adelante sin mirar atrás" [To keep going without looking back]. He's stuck in the past, constantly looking at photos and wanting to call his ex, convinced she feels the same way.

He's pretty confident that no matter what, she'll still be dreaming of him, saying, "Aunque te enamores / Vas a estar soñando conmigo" [Even if you fall in love / You'll be dreaming of me]. He believes he's still "en tu mente escondido" [hidden in your mind] and wants to "recuperar este tiempo perdido" [recover this lost time]. It's a bold claim, but he's sure their future is together, asking, "Dime si tú sientes lo mismo, sé que tu futuro es conmigo" [Tell me if you feel the same, I know your future is with me]. It's a fun, catchy tune about that stubborn feeling when you just can't let go.

Ya No Llora (No Longer Cries)
Ella no siente nada se nota de lejos su
Mirada
Ella está dañada por ese ojo que no la
Cuidaba y ahora se puso más fuerte más
she doesn't feel anything, it's noticeable from afar
of her look
she is damaged by that eye that does not
she cared and now she got stronger more

This song is all about a woman who's been through a lot, and she's come out stronger on the other side. The lyrics tell us that "ella no siente nada se nota de lejos su mirada" [she feels nothing, it's clear from afar in her gaze], suggesting she's put up a wall after being hurt. It seems like someone didn't treat her right, as the song mentions she was "dañada por ese ojo que no la cuidaba" [damaged by that eye that didn't take care of her].

But here's the cool part: she's totally transformed! "Ahora se puso más fuerte, más caliente se le siente" [Now she's become stronger, hotter, you can feel it]. Her heart might be a bit numb, "su corazón dejó inerte" [her heart became inert], but she's not looking back. The repeated line "ya no llora" [she doesn't cry anymore] really drives home that she's moved on. She's single, she's popular, and she's definitely not interested in that old relationship anymore: "soltera se puso de moda, ya no quiere verte de esa suerte" [single became fashionable, she doesn't want to see you with that luck]. It's a powerful anthem about overcoming heartbreak and finding your own strength!

Nunca Más (Never Again)
Te fuiste y ahora quieres volver
¿Con qué cara me vienes a hablar?
Por suerte de mi vida te borré
Tomátela de acá
You left and now you want to come back
With what face do you come to talk to me?
Luckily in my life I deleted you
Take it from here

Marama's "Nunca Más" is a super catchy cumbia track from Uruguay about a person who's had enough of an ex trying to come back. The singer is totally over it, asking, "¿Con qué cara me vienes a hablar?" [With what face do you come to speak to me?]. It's clear they've moved on and are not interested in revisiting the past, especially after feeling used.

The song really hits home with that feeling of finally being free from a bad relationship. The singer even says, "Por suerte de mi vida te borré" [Luckily I erased you from my life], which is such a strong statement! It's all about realizing your worth and telling someone, "Nunca más, ya no quiero verte nunca más" [Never again, I don't want to see you ever again]. You can almost feel the relief and confidence in their voice as they wish the ex "suerte si tú te vas" [good luck if you leave].

No Quiero Verte (I Don't Want to See You)
Baila nena con
La Champions liga Nunca imaginé que
Nuestro amor iba a terminar así que este
Iba a ser el fin que así como si nada te
dance girl with
the Champions League I never imagined that
our love was going to end so this
It was going to be the end that just as if nothing

This song, "No Quiero Verte" [I Don't Want to See You] by Marama and Hernan y La Champion's Liga, is all about the aftermath of a breakup where one person is completely over it and ready to move on. The singer is pretty blunt, saying "No quiero verte de nuevo, no quiero, no, no quiero más de tu juego ni tu mentiras de amor" [I don't want to see you again, I don't want, no, I don't want any more of your game or your lies of love].

Even though they admit to missing the person sometimes, it's more about the memory of a perfume on a pillow or things in the room, not the person themselves. They're done with the games and the lies, and they're definitely not going to be there when the ex tries to call again. The singer even says, "Ni se te ocurra venir a pedir perdón de noche a mi pobre corazón" [Don't even think about coming to ask my poor heart for forgiveness at night]. It's a clear message: this relationship is over, and they're moving on, maybe even by "ahogarme en el alcohol" [drowning myself in alcohol] for a bit.
