Micro TDH's "NEGRO MATE" is a super honest look at a complicated love, or maybe just a really strong attraction! He starts by saying, "Tengo el cora negro mate, fuiste tú quien lo pintaste" [I have a matte black heart, you're the one who painted it], which is such a cool way to say someone changed him, maybe even hurt him. But even with that, he admits he'd go back to them "aunque me maten" [even if they kill me].
He's really drawn to this person, saying they "Conseguiste la manera de calmar mi bellaquera" [You found a way to calm my desire]. He's captivated by their "cuerpito natural" [natural body] and wants to "invitarte a pecar aunque diosito no lo quiera" [invite you to sin even if God doesn't want it]. He's ready to take them "hasta donde quieras" [wherever you want] and "hacemos el amor aunque al final nos duela" [we'll make love even if it hurts us in the end]. He even asks, "¿Por qué te noto tan fría?" [Why do I find you so cold?], wondering why they're holding back when he feels so strongly. It's a blunt, passionate, and a little bit reckless song about desire and giving in to temptation, even when you know it might lead to pain.
Micro TDH's "Vuelve A Mí" is a heartfelt plea for a second chance in love. He's really trying to convince someone to come back to him, asking directly, "Dime, mamacita, si me quieres" [Tell me, pretty mama, if you love me]. He admits he made a mistake in the past, saying, "Hace un tiempo no fui tu mejor aliado y cometí un error" [A while ago I wasn't your best ally and I made a mistake], but he promises it won't happen again.
He's clearly smitten, thinking about her "En tus manos, tu sonrisa, tu mirada" [In your hands, your smile, your gaze] and just wants to be with her. He doesn't care what anyone else thinks, declaring, "No me importa lo que digan los demás, yo quiero darte amor" [I don't care what others say, I want to give you love]. He just wants to forget the bad times, dance with her, and throw all their problems away, asking her to "Empaca los problemas, bótalos por ahí" [Pack up the problems, throw them away]. It's a sweet and earnest song about wanting to rekindle a lost love.
Micro TDH's "Confianza" is a really honest look at how easily trust can break down in a relationship. He talks about how two paths that were once united can become separate, just like friends who become a couple and then regret it. He points out that this often starts with the doubts that "desconfianza sembró" [distrust sowed], where one moment you feel a lot for someone, and the next you don't.
He really hits on how social media and our own insecurities can mess things up. Instead of focusing on the relationship, we get caught up in thoughts of betrayal, while someone else might be making your partner smile. Micro TDH advises us to value what's important and not let others interfere with our true feelings. He urges us to tell someone how much we love them "Antes que el amor se deteriore con el tiempo" [Before love deteriorates with time]. It's a reminder that life is short, and we shouldn't lose what we have because of foolishness. The key, he says, is to love with all your heart and overcome challenges. So, put down the screen, go for a walk, and let good vibes guide you!
Micro TDH's "El Cigarro" is a really thoughtful song that uses the act of smoking a cigarette as a metaphor for life itself. He starts by lighting up, saying it doesn't matter what color his lighter is, as long as it helps him "encender lo que me quitará / Este mal" [light what will take away / This bad feeling]. He finds himself alone, which he realizes is a good time to think. He feels connected to the world as he smokes, but also acknowledges that "la vida se consume con cada galón" [life is consumed with every gallon] and "cada vez se hace más pequeño el corazón" [the heart gets smaller each time]. He thinks about how some people seem to live an ideal life, and how important it is to balance things like laughing, loving, and living with spiritual joy.
He sees the ashes as memories carried by the wind, and despite wanting to stop, he can't yet. He asks the listener to stop time and chat, revealing that "La vida es un cigarro / La vida es un tabaco y aún no lo he fumado" [Life is a cigarette / Life is tobacco and I haven't smoked it yet]. This line is so powerful, suggesting life is something to be lived and experienced. He talks about achieving his dream of being a singer and hopes for another life where he gets "un cigarro y un lapicero" [a cigarette and a pen]. He encourages wanting a better world and reminds us that "en cada oportunidad / Hay una experiencia" [in every opportunity / There's an experience]. Even though he feels like he's sinking, he believes his being will transcend, and if he dies, the world will have lost him. It's a deep reflection on existence, dreams, and the passage of time.
The whole song sits in the gap between wanting someone and knowing better. Micro TDH opens with the admission that does all the work: "A pesar de todo el daño que nos hemos hecho / Aún seguimos teniéndonos ganas" (Despite all the damage we've done to each other / we still want each other). Nobody here is pretending this is healthy. Then comes the line the title hangs on, and it arrives as a question rather than a verdict: "Si ya es demasiado tarde" (if it's already too late). He genuinely does not know, so he asks her instead: "Dime qué tengo que hacer" (tell me what I have to do).
What keeps it off the pile of ordinary breakup records is how physical the wanting stays. "Quisiera besarte y no quedar deshecho" (I'd like to kiss you and not end up a mess) is a small piece of honest self-knowledge. He knows the kiss will cost him, and he wants it anyway. Lenny Tavárez answers from the same place, and the softest line in the song is his: "Solo contigo es que mi alma se desnuda" (it's only with you that my soul bares itself). Over an Ovy On The Drums beat that never raises its voice, the two of them keep circling the same question and never land on an answer.
Micro TDH introduces "Sin Ti" as a "Tweet-canción" (tweet-song), written from fans' messages, and it reads like a late-night scroll through an ex's timeline. The early lines are short and heavy: "Las noches pasan" (the nights pass), "Las horas pesan" (the hours weigh heavy). He's stuck between wanting to reach out and not wanting to bother her: "Quieres que te busque" (you want me to come after you) "Y yo no quiero molestarte" (and I don't want to bother you).
There's a good joke buried in the sadness: "Ojalá agregaran un día más a la semana" (I wish they'd add one more day to the week) just to see if that's the day he doesn't think of her. By the end he turns it around, "Sinceramente fuiste tú quien se quedó sin mí" (honestly, it was you who ended up without me), but the last word is still "Dueles" (you hurt).
Micro TDH's "Nueve (Intro)" is a really personal and reflective track where he uses the number nine as a central theme. He connects it to significant moments in his life, like the nine months before his birth and his nine years in music. He even mentions the nine planets in our solar system, saying nine is "el número que anuncia el final" [the number that announces the end].
He opens up about the pressure he feels, working "Nueve horas al día haciendo música" [Nine hours a day making music] and having unanswered calls. He longs to feel good again, like when he was nine and sang in church, free from "palabras necias" [foolish words]. He talks about sacrificing everything and feeling like he's achieved little, living far from what he loves most. But through it all, he expresses deep gratitude to God for showing him "La traición en el ayer" [The betrayal in the past] and for giving him faith. He wants to be a legend in Hispanic music, not just another urban artist, and he ends by reminding us that "no somos nada cuando no está Dios" [we are nothing when God is not there].
Micro TDH's "Honey" is a sweet and playful declaration of love, where he compares his ideal girl to two very different things: honey and money! He wants his girl to be "Dulce y orgullosa" [Sweet and proud] like honey, and "Verde y celosa" [Green and jealous] like money. It's a funny and honest way to say he wants someone who's both lovely and a little bit possessive.
He admits he's a bit of a mess, saying "Soy un lío, Pero gracioso" [I'm a mess, But funny], but he's trying to impress her. Even with "Mil mujeres bellas" [A thousand beautiful women] around, she's the only one who fills him up. He's so sure she's his destiny that he'd "escaparé si tú" [escape if it's you]. He even jokes about going back to the bar with his friends, without a car, but still expects her to "espera por mí" [wait for me]. It's a charming and confident song about finding that one special person.
Micro TDH, with his friends Adso, Big Soto, Jeeiph, and Trainer, brings us "QUÉ TÚ CRÉ?" a super relatable and hilariously blunt song about the frustrations of modern dating. Our guy is totally smitten, but the person he's into is playing hard to get, leaving him on read and driving him crazy!
He's asking, "¿Qué tú crees? ¿Que no tengo corazón?" [What do you think? That I don't have a heart?] and "¿Qué tú crees? Dime, ¿que haces jugando con mi amor?" [What do you think? Tell me, what are you doing playing with my love?]. He's tired of being ignored and strung along, even though he's willing to do anything for this person – from washing and cooking to even shaving their butt (he quickly takes that one back, though!). It's a funny, honest look at how confusing and maddening it can be when someone you like just won't give you a straight answer.
Micro TDH presents himself as a hungry Venezuelan artist who knows his value and refuses to wait for permission. He says, “Nunca he dicho que soy el mejor sabiendo que lo soy” [I have never said I am the best, even though I know I am], then balances that confidence with a clear goal: make history, support his family, and retire when his work is done. The diamond line, “I'm a diamond, no quiero prendas” [I am a diamond, I do not want jewelry], means his own talent is more valuable to him than expensive accessories. He also admits that anger is part of his world, while insisting that other people’s opinions cannot control him. The references to Grammys, New York City, Silicon Valley, Siri, and brands such as Louis, Gucci, Prada, Universal, and Sony turn the verses into a fast stream of ambition, status, jokes, and challenges to anyone who doubts him.
The hook gives the song its strongest contrast: “La plata no te hace feliz, pero mírame sonriendo” [Money does not make you happy, but look at me smiling]. He remembers having nothing, even describing a place where children play near grenades, and then celebrates the growth of his “manada,” or crew. The success is not presented as a peaceful finish. Critics talk, jealous people watch, friends become fewer, and he keeps escaping their attempts to stop him. “Yo no creo en nadie sólo creo en Dios” [I do not believe in anyone, I only believe in God] explains where his trust sits, while the references to “El Inca” and boxer Chino Maidana connect his self-image with fighters who are difficult to defeat. It is a loud, funny, sometimes threatening victory speech, with pride in his Venezuelan and merideño identity at its center.
