CONTENTS SUMMARY
Mi Princesa (My Princess)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
If you ever felt hopeful
And you saw the stars shining on your face
If that guy dared to hurt you, he's worth nothing
If you think he deserves your caresses

Mexican singer Remmy Valenzuela plays the ultimate knight in shining armor here, comforting a woman who just had her heart crushed by a cheater. Instead of letting her sit there in tears, he tells her straight: a guy who cheats on her with another woman is worth nothing. He delivers great practical advice with the line "Es de clase no pelear entre mujeres por unas caricias" ("It shows class not to fight among women over scraps of affection"). He hates that this coward ruined her night, specifically calling him out because "ha quitado el rímel entre medio de una fiesta" ("he smeared your mascara in the middle of a party"). Crying your eye makeup off at a social gathering is a very specific, humiliating sting, and Remmy knows it.

His solution? Stop crying over someone who was too scared to break up to your face and pick him instead. He does not hold back on his pitch: "Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo / Quiero que seas mi princesa" ("You should look for someone like me / I want you to be my princess"). He promises everything from holding hands under the stars to kissing her whenever he wants. The whole track is smooth, romantic, and delightfully bold—he spots an opening to treat her better and shoots his shot without a second thought.

Caricias Clandestinas (Clandestine Caresses)
Fue un placer
Probar esos hermosos labios
Fue un placer
El perderme en tu mirada
It was a pleasure
Testing Those Beautiful Lips
It was a pleasure
Losing me in your gaze

Have you ever had a secret romance that was just so exciting because it was a secret? Remmy Valenzuela's "Caricias Clandestinas" is all about that thrill! He's looking back on a clandestine affair, remembering every detail with a mix of pleasure and longing. He tells us, "Fue un placer / Probar esos hermosos labios" [It was a pleasure / To taste those beautiful lips] and how he loved getting lost in her gaze.

He really emphasizes how much more interesting things are when they're kept hidden, saying, "Es mucho más interesante / Si los besos y caricias / Son de forma clandestina" [It's much more interesting / If the kisses and caresses / Are clandestine]. He recalls kissing her while she slept and the feeling of holding her close, both of them ready for whatever happened that day. The memory of her sweet lips still lingers, and he openly admits, "Debo admitir que fue un placer / Debo admitir que me gustaron / Las caricias clandestinas" [I must admit it was a pleasure / I must admit I liked / The clandestine caresses]. It's a song that perfectly captures the excitement and lingering sweetness of a secret love.

Así Es El Amor (That's What Love Is)
Meditando
Para las 12 de la mañana
En la habitación nació una canción
El teléfono
meditating
for 12 in the morning
in the room a song was born
the phone

Have you ever been up late at night, thinking about love and relationships? That's the scene Remmy Valenzuela and Gabito Ballesteros paint in "Así Es El Amor." The song begins in a room late at night, where a moment of quiet thought—or meditation—gives birth to this very song. The lyrics reflect on a phone argument, suggesting that a simple discussion can't be enough to destroy a powerful love.

At its heart, the song explores the idea that love is a journey of ups and downs. The singers compare it to a battle, asking, "How many defeats died to reach victory?" They declare, "Así es el amor"—that's just how love is. It's something you can't study in a book; it's a force that unites people, wounds souls, and presents a million doors without a clear exit. It's a beautiful and honest look at the struggle and triumph that define true love.

La Neta Ahí Te Ves (Honestly, I'm Out)
La computadora su correo viejo
A poco pensaste que me iba a doler este
Yo la paso bien Ahora un mal cien ni
Modo ni aquí si no me quisiste la neta y
the computer your old mail
Little did you think that this was going to hurt me
I have a good time now a bad hundred ni
way or here if you didn't want me the net and

Ever felt so completely over a breakup that you just want to say, "Honestly, see you later"? That's the powerful energy Remmy Valenzuela and Gabito Ballesteros bring in "La Neta Ahí Te Ves." The song is a confident declaration of moving on. The singer makes it clear that the past is in the past, stating, "pasado pisado ya te superé" (what's past is past, I'm over you). There's no sadness here, only a straightforward message: "yo ya no te quiero y te soy sincero" (I don't love you anymore, and I'm being sincere).

This isn't just about getting over someone; it's about realizing your own worth. The singer boldly predicts that their ex will be the one with regrets, singing, "de lejos me vas a extrañar y se te antojará mi beso" (from afar you're going to miss me and you'll crave my kiss). It's a classic anthem for anyone who has walked away from a relationship knowing they made the right choice and feeling better for it.

Te He Prometido (I Have Promised You)
Y así cena
Jefe de olvidar
Cuánto has querido
Un Dios de
and so dinner
forget boss
how much have you wanted
a God of

Get ready for a song full of drama and heartbreak! In "Te He Prometido," the singer is facing a painful situation: the person he loves is getting married to someone else tomorrow. He sings about being left "solo y herido" (alone and hurt) as his former lover goes to the altar with another person.

But this isn't just a sad song. The singer makes a bold promise: "te he prometido / que te voy a olvidar" (I have promised you / that I am going to forget you). He also predicts that his ex will regret their choice, singing that they will cry and won't be able to find happiness. Why? Because, as he claims, it was with him that they first truly "conociste / el amor" (knew love).

Te Quería Pa' Bien (I Wanted You For Good)
Detrás del abandona con
Un yo te quería
Y te vas
Yo te quería entregarle todo todo el
behind the abandon with
an I loved you
and you go
I wanted to give you everything

Ever had your heart broken by someone you trusted completely? That's the painful story Remmy Valenzuela and Gabito Ballesteros tell in "Te Quería Pa' Bien." The singer looks back on a relationship where he was ready to give his "todo todo el corazón" (whole, whole heart), but his partner chose a different path. The lyrics describe a deep betrayal, suggesting that the other person's "ambición" (ambition) was stronger than their love, and they didn't care about hurting him.

Despite the intense pain of having his soul and heart broken, this isn't just a sad song. It's also about finding strength after a difficult breakup. The singer declares, "hoy me encuentro mejor" (today I'm better) and is now looking for a new love, one that "no pague con traición" (doesn't pay with betrayal). It's a powerful anthem for anyone who has been hurt but is determined to heal and find a better love in the future.

Pedazos De Mi (Pieces Of Me)
Que me lleve la nostalgia
Que me mate el sentimiento
Tú renuncias a mis besos
No te importa lo que siento
Let me be nostalgic
Let the feeling kill me
You renounce my kisses
You don't care what I feel

This song is pure heartbreak drama in the most direct way possible. Remmy is talking to someone who has walked away from him and from everything they shared. He feels like she doesn’t care at all about what he feels: “Tú renuncias a mis besos” [You give up my kisses] and “No te importa lo que siento” [You don’t care about what I feel]. For him, forgetting her is almost impossible: “Es difícil que te olvide” [It’s hard for me to forget you], and trying to make her understand his pain is useless: “Es inútil que me entiendas” [It’s useless for you to understand me]. He even says it’s “más fácil que yo muera” [easier for me to die] than to keep living like this, which is dramatic, intense, and very on-brand for a hurt love song.

What makes the lyrics stick is that he doesn’t just say he is sad. He talks about losing hope completely: “Es preferible morir cuando ya no hay esperanza” [It’s preferable to die when there is no hope anymore], and “Ya me perdiste la fe, ya destrozaste mi alma” [You already made me lose faith, you already destroyed my soul]. The strongest image is in the chorus: if she ever wants to feel those good moments again, she will have to “junta pedazos de mí donde los halles tirados” [gather pieces of me wherever you find them thrown around]. It’s like he’s saying that after this breakup, he is shattered all over the place. The song is one long emotional monologue from a guy who feels destroyed, talks in extremes, and still leaves the door open a tiny bit, but only if she’s willing to pick up the broken pieces of who he used to be.

Que Levante La Mano (Raise Your Hand)
A ver, ¿quién no ha sufrido una decepción?
A ver, que levante la mano
A ver, ¿quién no ha llorado alguna vez
Por alguien que se ha marchado?
Let's see, who hasn't suffered a disappointment?
Let's see, raise your hand
Let's see, who hasn't cried
By someone who has left?

Have you ever felt like you're the only one who's gone through a tough breakup or cried over someone who left? Remmy Valenzuela's "Que Levante La Mano" [Whoever Raises Their Hand] is all about that shared human experience! He starts by asking, "A ver, ¿quién no ha sufrido una decepción?" [Let's see, who hasn't suffered a disappointment?] and "¿quién no ha llorado alguna vez por alguien que se ha marchado?" [who hasn't cried sometime for someone who has left?]. It's like he's taking a poll, making you feel less alone in those moments.

He keeps going, asking if anyone has never written a love letter, or if they've never talked to God. And who hasn't heard an old song and remembered their past? He's pretty sure he's not the only one, and he's right! If you raise your hand to never experiencing these things, he playfully suggests, "Para decirles que aún no conocen el amor" [To tell them that they still don't know love]. It's a fun, relatable song that reminds us we're all in this emotional rollercoaster together.

Por Un Beso (For A Kiss)
Por un beso
Que no fue en los labios
Y ese beso me bastó
Pa' que te amara
For a kiss
That it wasn't on the lips
And that kiss was enough for me
Pa' que te amara

This song is all about falling way too hard for something way too small: just one little kiss on the cheek. The singer says that “por un beso / que no fue en los labios” [for a kiss that wasn’t on the lips] was enough for him to give everything. He admits he was “ingrato / para entregarlo todo / por un beso” [foolish / to give it all / for one kiss], and you can feel him shaking his head at himself. That one “beso en la mejilla” [kiss on the cheek] made him think she felt the same, so he “regalé mi alma” [gave you my soul] and started “soñar despierto” [daydreaming] and feeling completely in love “en cuerpo y alma” [in body and soul].

The painful part is that she never gives him anything more. “No me diste / ningún otro motivo / solo un beso” [you didn’t give me / any other reason / just one kiss], and now he realizes it was “muy poco para estar enamorado” [too little to be in love]. He calls his own hopes “falsas esperanzas” [false hopes], but he can’t just switch his feelings off. He still says “el problema es que te extraño y me haces falta” [the problem is that I miss you and I need you] and “el problema es que te sueño y que te adoro” [the problem is that I dream about you and adore you]. So the song sits in that frustrating place where your head knows it was only one small moment, yet your heart is already all in.

Se Va Muriendo Mi Alma (My Soul Is Dying)
Por pensar que no volverás conmigo
Y saber que ahora tú ya tienes abrigo
Aquí se va muriendo mi alma
Y va creciendo este vació en mí
For thinking you won't come back with me
And know that now you already have a coat
Here my soul is dying
And this emptiness in me is growing

"Se Va Muriendo Mi Alma" ("My Soul Is Slowly Dying") is a banda ballad about the ache of being left behind. The narrator watches the woman he loved move on to someone new, and describes his own heartbreak as something physical: his soul dying a little more each day, an emptiness growing inside him that nothing can fill.

He keeps circling back to what he can't let go of: this was the one time he really knew how to love, and now he has to give it up. The hurt lingers because her love never fully left him, it just stopped being returned. The cruelest part is that she doesn't even remember him anymore, while he can't stop thinking about her.

It's a song about one-sided heartbreak, holding on to a love that has already ended for the other person.

¿A Poco Dices Que No? (So You're Saying No?)
Tantos desprecios que me da tu corazón
Yo pongo Loco enamorado de tu amor
Que no te dieras a trompeta la que
Adorna tu sonrisa esos ojos que miro y
So many rejections your heart gives me
I go crazy in love with your love
That you wouldn't give me your lips, the ones that
adorn your smile, those eyes I look at and

This song is a passionate declaration of unrequited love. The singer is completely head over heels for someone who gives him nothing but rejection. He describes himself as being "loco enamorado" (crazy in love), losing all control whenever he sees her smile and her eyes. Despite his best efforts, he feels he can't win her affection, and the passing time only makes him more desperate.

Instead of giving up, he decides to make a grand romantic gesture. He plans to bring a serenata (serenade) with a full band to her house, vowing to stay all night if he has to. The song's title, "¿A Poco Dices Que No?", translates to something like, "You wouldn't really say no, would you?" It's a hopeful, almost challenging question, as he can't imagine her refusing such a heartfelt display of his love.

Mentí (I Lied)
Le dije que se fuera de mi lado
Qué lo que yo sentía se había acabado
Le dije nunca vuelvas a buscarme
Porque sería imposible perdonarle
I told him to get out of my side
What I felt was over
I told him never to look for me again
Because it would be impossible to forgive Him

Have you ever said something you didn't mean, all because your pride got in the way? That's exactly what Remmy Valenzuela is singing about in "Mentí" [I Lied]. He tells his love to leave him alone, saying he doesn't feel anything anymore and that he could never forgive her. He even says, "Le pedí que se olvidará de que existo" [I asked her to forget that I exist] and to never call him because he's her ex, not her friend.

But then comes the big reveal: "Mentí, mentí, mentí porque el orgullo me cegó" [I lied, I lied, I lied because pride blinded me]. He admits he lied because she didn't value his love, and even though she failed him, he still loves her. He's dying to see her again, even after telling her he never wants to hear from her. It's a really relatable song about how our pride can make us say and do things we immediately regret, especially when we're heartbroken.

Por Qué Me Ilusionaste (Why You Excited Me)
Me di cuenta que nunca tuve tus besos
Me di cuenta que yo nunca fui tu dueño
Yo te quise y te adoré
Y yo para ti, fui solo un pasatiempo
I realized I never had your kisses
I realized I was never your man
I loved you and adored you
And to you I was just a pastime

"Por Qué Me Ilusionaste" is Remmy Valenzuela asking the question every heartbroken person asks: why did you let me get my hopes up? The verb in the title, ilusionar, is a lovely one to learn. It doesn't mean "to trick" but "to fill someone with hope or excitement," so the title means "Why did you get my hopes up?" He starts by facing the truth: "Me di cuenta que nunca tuve tus besos" (I realised I never had your kisses) and "Y yo para ti, fui solo un pasatiempo" (and to you, I was only a pastime). Me di cuenta (I realised) repeats line after line, like he's counting every lesson.

The chorus lists what fooled him: "esas tiernas caricias" (those tender caresses) and "aquellos bellos detalles que pintaban mi sonrisa" (those lovely little gestures that painted my smile). Detalles here means the small thoughtful things a partner does. Then the hurt question: "¿Por qué fuiste tan cruel de demostrarme algo que tú no sentías?" (Why were you so cruel as to show me something you didn't feel?). His answer is to shut down completely: "Desde hoy cierro yo las puertas al amor" (from today I'm closing the doors on love). Dramatic? Absolutely, and that's exactly what makes it fun to sing.

Celular (Cell Phone)
Hace algunos meses que rompimos ya yo
Pensaba que era tiempo lo iba a sanar
Parece que no tiene fin esto que siento
Yo por ti maldito orgullo ya tardó en
It's been a few months since we broke up and I
thought time was gonna heal it
it seems like what I feel has no end
for you damn pride has already taken too long to

Ever felt a heartbreak so deep that time just doesn't seem to heal it? In "Celular," Remmy Valenzuela and Gabito Ballesteros sing about this exact feeling. The song tells the story of someone trying to move on from a breakup that happened months ago, but finding it impossible. He expected time and his own pride to help him forget, but the feelings are still as strong as ever.

The singer turns to alcohol to numb the pain, spending his time in bars with "bitter drinks" (tragos más amargos). But he discovers that even when he's drunk, he can't get his ex out of his head. His life feels as "empty as the bottles" (vacía al igual que la botella). To make matters worse, she has completely cut him off. He tries to call, but she changed her cell phone number. He even goes to her house, only to find she has moved. The song is a powerful expression of feeling lost and heartbroken, unable to escape the memory of a past love.

Mi Princesa (Ma princesse)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Si une fois tu as cru en l'amour
Et que tu voyais les étoiles sur ton visage
Si ce type a osé te blesser il ne vaut rien
Si tu crois qu'il mérite tes caresses

Dans « Mi Princesa », Remmy Valenzuela s’adresse à une femme blessée par un homme qui l’a trompée avec une autre. Il lui rappelle qu’elle mérite mieux que ce « cobarde », un lâche, qui ne lui a même pas parlé franchement. L’image est très concrète : elle pleure au milieu d’une fête, au point d’avoir le mascara qui coule. « Ya no llores por un cobarde » [Ne pleure plus pour un lâche] est une phrase directe, presque protectrice. Le chanteur ajoute qu’il est inutile de se battre entre femmes pour quelqu’un dont les caresses « no valían nada » [ne valaient rien].

Lui, au contraire, se présente comme l’homme qui voudrait lui prendre les mains et « llevarte a las estrellas » [t’emmener jusqu’aux étoiles]. Il promet beaucoup, avec une formule très romantique et un peu audacieuse : « Por morder tus labios y besarlos cuando quiera » [Pour mordre tes lèvres et les embrasser quand je veux]. Le refrain lui donne le titre de princesse, « el corazón de una princesa » [le cœur d’une princesse], puis arrive son invitation claire : « Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo » [Tu devrais chercher quelqu’un comme moi]. C’est donc une chanson de consolation et de séduction, où le chanteur transforme une trahison en occasion de lui proposer une relation plus tendre, selon lui.

Mi Princesa (Mijn prinses)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Als je je ooit hoopvol voelde
En je de sterren op je gezicht zag
Als die gast je durfde te kwetsen is hij niets waard
Als jij denkt dat hij jouw liefkozingen verdient

In "Mi Princesa" windt de Mexicaanse zanger Remmy Valenzuela er geen doekjes om: hij ziet het meisje op wie hij valt huilen op een feestje en vindt haar ex een enorme lafaard. Hij zingt dat een vent die vreemdgaat haar tranen niet waard is. Vooral het beeld "ha quitado el rímel entre medio de una fiesta" (hij heeft de mascara weggeveegd midden op een feestje) zegt alles: je staat met uitgelopen make-up tussen de dansende mensen omdat iemand je hart breekt. Remmy adviseert haar meteen om geen ruzie te maken met de andere vrouw ("Es de clase no pelear entre mujeres" - het getuigt van klasse om niet tussen vrouwen te vechten), want de fout ligt puur bij die kerel.

Daarna schakelt het nummer direct over naar een schaamteloze versierpoging. Waarom treuren om zo'n sukkel als hijzelf klaarstaat? Remmy wil haar hand pakken, haar meenemen naar de sterren en zingt heel direct: "Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo" (je zou iemand zoals ik moeten zoeken). Hij noemt haar een prinses, maar wel eentje op wie hij verliefd is tot over zijn oren: hij geeft alles op om "morder tus labios" (in je lippen te bijten). Het is typische Regional Mexican-romantiek: half een schouder om op uit te huilen, half een brutale openingszin.

Mi Princesa (Meine Prinzessin)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Wenn du dir einmal Hoffnungen gemacht hast
Und die Sterne in deinem Gesicht sahst
Wenn dieser Typ es wagte zu verletzen, ist er wertlos
Wenn du glaubst, dass er deine Zärtlichkeiten verdient

„Mi Princesa“ ist ein direktes Liebeslied von Remmy Valenzuela aus Mexiko. Der Sänger spricht eine Frau an, die von einem Mann verletzt und betrogen wurde. Er erinnert sich an ihr verliebtes Leuchten, während sie „las estrellas en tu cara“ [die Sterne in deinem Gesicht] sah, und fragt streng: „Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada“ [Wenn dieser Typ es gewagt hat, dich zu verletzen, ist er nichts wert]. Mit „tipa“ meint er hier umgangssprachlich eine andere Frau. Besonders deutlich wird die Szene, in der die Betrogene auf einer Feier weint und ihr die Wimperntusche verläuft: „Si ha quitado el rímel entre medio de una fiesta“ [Wenn er dir mitten auf einer Feier die Wimperntusche weggewischt hat]. Das Bild ist zugleich traurig und ein wenig dramatisch, ganz im Stil eines entschlossenen Trostlieds.

Der Sänger bietet sich selbst als bessere Wahl an. Er möchte ihre Hände nehmen und sie „llevarte a las estrellas“ [dich zu den Sternen bringen], ihre Lippen küssen und sie seine „princesa“ [Prinzessin] nennen. Dabei kritisiert er den Ex besonders dafür, dass er ihr die Wahrheit nicht ins Gesicht gesagt hat: „Si es tan hombre por qué no te dijo nada“ [Wenn er so ein Mann ist, warum hat er dir nichts gesagt?]. Der Satz „No merece justificante“ [Er verdient keine Entschuldigung] lässt keinen Raum für Mitleid mit diesem Feigling. Das Lied verbindet also Schutz, Flirt und eine ziemlich selbstbewusste Einladung: Hör auf zu weinen und such dir jemanden wie mich.

Mi Princesa (Моя принцесса)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Если ты когда-то чувствовала надежду
И видела звёзды на своём лице
Если этот парень посмел причинить тебе боль, он ничего не стоит
Если ты думаешь, что он заслуживает твоих ласк

Знаешь этот классический сюжет, когда парень видит заплаканную девушку и сразу предлагает себя в роли идеального спасителя? В треке «Mi Princesa» мексиканский певец Ремми Валенсуэла делает именно это, причем максимально прямолинейно. Героиня плачет прямо посреди вечеринки из-за измены, а певец возмущается тем, как глупо тратить силы на ссоры с соперницами: «Es de clase no pelear entre mujeres por unas caricias» (Благородно не драться между женщинами за чужие ласки). Он называет ее бывшего трусом, который даже не осмелился сказать правду в лицо («no te lo dijo en la cara»), и добавляет очень точную бытовую деталь: этот парень не заслуживает прощения, раз заставил тушь потечь прямо в разгар праздника («ha quitado el rímel entre medio de una fiesta»).

Но Валенсуэла не просто сочувствует со стороны. Он тут же переходит в наступление и выдает без лишней скромности: «Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo» (Тебе стоит поискать кого-то вроде меня). Певец обещает дотянуться до звезд и признается, что отдал бы всё на свете за возможность целовать ее губы («Lo que fuera todo lo diera / Por morder tus labios y besarlos cuando quiera»). Смелое заявление для парня, который только что утешал тебя у зеркала в клубе! Песня цепляет именно этим напором: здесь нет сложных намеков, только понятные эмоции и прямое предложение занять место настоящей принцессы рядом с новым кавалером.

Mi Princesa (Moja princezná)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Ak si sa kedysi cítila plná nádeje
A videla si hviezdy v tvári
Ak sa ten chlap odvážil ublížiť ti, je bezcenný
Ak si myslíš, že si zaslúži tvoje pohladenia

Mexický spevák Remmy Valenzuela v tejto skladbe nechodí okolo horúcej kaše. Vidí dievča, ktorému neverný chlap zlomil srdce priamo uprostred zábavy, a rovno jej povie, že dotyčný za nič nestojí. V texte nájdeš silný a celkom plastický obraz: ha quitado el rímel entre medio de una fiesta (zotrel ti maskaru uprostred párty). Tým jasne naráža na rozmazaný mejkap od sĺz, kým sa ostatní bavia. Pripomína jej, že bojovať s inou ženou o jeho pozornosť nemá úroveň (Es de clase no pelear entre mujeres por unas caricias – Má úroveň nebiť sa medzi ženami o pohladenia). Neverníka bez servítky nazýva zbabelcom, ktorý jej to ani nedokázal povedať do očí.

Remmy však nezostáva len pri utešovaní; okamžite prichádza s vlastným návrhom. Drzo a sebavedomo jej podsúva samého seba: Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo (Mala by si si nájsť niekoho, ako som ja). Sľubuje, že by dal čokoľvek za to, aby ju chytil za ruky a vzal ku hviezdam (Agarrar tus manos y llevarte a las estrellas). Namiesto sĺz z nej chce urobiť svoju princeznú. Je to priamočiara zmes súcitu a dvorenia, v ktorej ti mexický spevák bez váhania ukáže, ako rýchlo sa dá využiť šanca, keď niekto iný spraví chybu.

Mi Princesa (Η πριγκίπισσά μου)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Αν κάποτε ένιωσες ελπίδα
Και έβλεπες τ' αστέρια στο πρόσωπό σου
Αν αυτός τόλμησε να σε πληγώσει, δεν αξίζει τίποτα
Αν νομίζεις πως αυτός αξίζει τα χάδια σου

Ο Remmy Valenzuela μπαίνει κατευθείαν στο ψητό σε αυτή τη regional mexican μπαλάντα: βλέπει την κοπέλα που του αρέσει να κλαίει και τα βάζει ανοιχτά με τον πρώην της. Τον αποκαλεί ευθέως δειλό γιατί δεν της μίλησε στα ίσια («Si es cobarde no te lo dijo en la cara» [Αν είναι δειλός, δεν σου το είπε κατά πρόσωπο]). Το πιο δυνατό σημείο στους στίχους είναι μια πολύ συγκεκριμένη, καθημερινή εικόνα: της λέει ότι αυτός ο τύπος δεν αξίζει καμία δικαιολογία, ειδικά από τη στιγμή που την έκανε να κλάψει και να λιώσει η μάσκαρα της στη μέση μιας γιορτής («Si ha quitado el rímel entre medio de una fiesta» [Αν σου χάλασε τη μάσκαρα στη μέση ενός πάρτι]). Μάλιστα, της ξεκαθαρίζει πως δεν αξίζει να τσακωθεί με την άλλη κοπέλα για τα χάδια του («Es de clase no pelear entre mujeres por unas caricias» [Είναι θέμα επιπέδου να μην παλεύουν οι γυναίκες μεταξύ τους για λίγα χάδια]).

Αφού ξεκαθαρίζει ότι ο άλλος «δεν αξίζει τίποτα» («no vale nada»), ο τραγουδιστής δεν χάνει χρόνο και προτείνει τον εαυτό του ως την ιδανική λύση. Θέλει να την πάρει από το χέρι και να την πάει στα αστέρια («Agarrar tus manos y llevarte a las estrellas»), λέγοντάς της ξεκάθαρα: «Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo / Quiero que seas mi princesa» [Θα έπρεπε να ψάξεις κάποιον σαν εμένα / Θέλω να γίνεις η πριγκίπισσά μου]. Είναι ένα κομμάτι γεμάτο ρομαντισμό αλλά και μπόλικο θράσος, όπου η παρηγοριά γίνεται κατευθείαν πρόταση για νέα σχέση.

Mi Princesa (Moja princeza)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Ako si se jednom ponadala
I gledala zvezde na svom licu
Ako se taj tip usudio da te povredi, ne vredi ništa
Ako misliš da on zaslužuje tvoje dodire

Zamisli scenu: devojka plače usred žurke, maskara joj se razmazala, a njen dečko je ispao teška kukavica koja ju je prevarila. Meksički pevač Remi Valenzuela u ovoj regionalnoj numeri ne okoliša, već joj odmah prilazi sa direktnim rešenjem za slomljeno srce! Pesma počinje oštrim stavom prema prevari, gde on peva da bivši „no vale nada” (ne vredi ništa), a dodaje i simpatičnu opasku o dostojanstvu: „Es de clase no pelear entre mujeres por unas caricias” (Otmeno je ne svađati se među ženama zbog nečijih dodira).

Umesto tuge, Remi nudi sebe kao princa na belom konju koji donosi pravu utehu. Priznaje bez stida šta želi: „Lo que fuera todo lo diera / Por morder tus labios y besarlos cuando quiera” (Sve bih dao da ti grizem usne i ljubim ih kad poželim). Nema tu nikakve stidljivosti, pravo u metu! Njegov zaključak je jednostavan i glasi: „Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo / Quiero que seas mi princesa” (Trebalo bi da potražiš nekog poput mene / Želim da budeš moja princeza). Kroz zarazni ritam i iskrene reči, ova pesma te uči kako da prepoznaš loše tipove i podsetiš se koliko zapravo vrediš.

Mi Princesa (Моя принцеса)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Якщо ти колись відчувала надію
І бачила зірки на своєму обличчі
Якщо цей хлопець наважився завдати тобі болю, він нічого не вартий
Якщо ти думаєш, що він заслуговує на твої ласки

У цій пісні мексиканський співак Реммі Валенсуела грає роль друга, який дуже вчасно з'являється поруч із розбитим серцем. Дівчина плаче просто посеред вечірки, її туш потекла, а все через хлопця-зрадника. Реммі не соромиться у виразах і прямо називає колишнього боягузом: «Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada» («Якщо цей тип посмів образити, він нічого не вартий»). Замість сліз через чужу невірність він радить тримати гідність, адже битися з суперницею нижче її рівня: «Es de clase no pelear entre mujeres por unas caricias» («Це питання класу — не битися між жінками за чиїсь пестощі»).

Та Реммі підтримує її не просто так. Він одразу переходить до відвертого залицяння й пропонує себе як набагато кращу заміну: «Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo / Quiero que seas mi princesa» («Тобі варто пошукати когось такого, як я / Я хочу, щоб ти була моєю принцесою»). Його план простий: полетіти до зірок і цілувати її губи коли заманеться. Виходить прямолінійний, трохи самовпевнений, але щирий маніфест про те, що плакати через невдах не варто, коли поруч є хтось готовий носити тебе на руках.

Mi Princesa (Minu printsess)
Si una vez te sentiste ilusionada
Y mirabas las estrellas en tu cara
Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada
Si tú crees que él merece tus caricias
Kui sa kord tundsid lootust
Ja nägid su näol tähti
Kui see mees julges sulle haiget teha, on ta väärtusetu
Kui sa arvad, et ta väärib su paitust

Mehhiko laulja Remmy Valenzuela laulab siin otsekohese ja siira lohutaja rollis. Kogu lugu algab sellest, et tüdruku süda on murtud: keegi argpüks pettis teda teise naisega ja ajas ta keset pidu nutma. Remmy ei hoia sõnu tagasi, öeldes: „Si ese tipo se ha atrevido a lastimar no vale nada” („Kui see tüüp julges haiget teha, pole ta midagi väärt”). Eriti tabav ja eluline detail tuleb reas „Si ha quitado el rímel entre medio de una fiesta” („Kui ta pühkis peo keskel ripsmetuši laiali”) – see pisarate ja laialivalgunud meigi pilt keset melu ütleb reetmise kohta kõik vajaliku.

Samas ei jää laul pelgalt kaastundeks, sest Remmy pakub kohe lahendust: unusta see reetur ja vali hoopis mind! Ta soovitab väärikalt pead püsti hoida ega luba teise naisega kaklema minna („Es de clase no pelear entre mujeres por unas caricias” – „On väärikas mitte kakelda naiste vahel paituste pärast”). Otsekohene romantika lööb eriti välja refräänis: mees tahab viia neiu tähtede juurde ja unistab: „Por morder tus labios y besarlos cuando quiera” („Hammustada su huuli ja suudelda neid, millal tahan”). Lõppsõna on tal lihtne ja enesekindel – „Deberías de buscar a alguien como yo” („Sa peaksid otsima kedagi minusugust”).
