CONTENTS SUMMARY
Milhouse
Va
Yo conocí la droga cuando probé tus labios
Fue como un viaje alterando mi realidad
Y siento que ahora necesito más
Goes
I met the drug when I tried your lips
It was like a trip altering my reality
And I feel that now I need more

Sabino's song "Milhouse" is a super fun and intense declaration of love, comparing the feeling to an addiction. He says that trying his lover's lips was like trying a drug for the first time, altering his reality. He even calls himself her "yonqui" [junkie], like Amy Winehouse, and says he'd "vender el alma" [sell his soul] like Milhouse from The Simpsons!

He's totally hooked, describing her kisses as smoke that takes him to the sky and her mouth as sweet as candy. He feels like she brought him luck, and now he only has eyes for her, saying "Todo estaba a oscuras y me diste luz" [Everything was dark and you gave me light]. He's got such a huge craving for her, a "tremendo antojo" [tremendous craving], that he jokes Walter White would want to traffic her, and Netflix would make a series about her! It's clear he's completely smitten and wants the whole world to know she's his "dama" [lady] and he's her "vato" [guy].

Masoquista (Masochist)
Va, tú fuiste clara, yo ya sabía
El alacrán que me echaba a la espalda
Yo alucinaba que me querías
Puras historias que yo me contaba (es que nunca fuiste mía)
Well, you were clear, I already knew
The scorpion that threw me on my back
I hallucinated that you loved me
Pure stories that I told myself (it's that you were never mine)

Sabino's "Masoquista" is a super honest and a little bit wild look at being stuck in a toxic relationship. Our singer knows this person isn't good for him; he even calls her "el alacrán que me echaba a la espalda" [the scorpion she threw on my back]. He admits he was fooling himself, saying "Puras historias que yo me contaba (es que nunca fuiste mía)" [Just stories I told myself (because you were never mine)].

He sees her with other guys, living a flashy life, and he knows they don't treat her right, but he's still completely hooked. He can't tell the difference between love and pain anymore, saying "Ya no distingo entre amor y dolor" [I no longer distinguish between love and pain]. He's so deep in it that he practically invites the hurt, telling her "Apunta, ¿qué esperas? Apunta y dispara" [Aim, what are you waiting for? Aim and shoot]. It's a really intense song about loving someone who's bad for you, and kind of enjoying the drama of it all.

Una Casa (A House)
Hoy me despido del mundo real
Me voy a mudar a mi mente
Tengo cosas aún pendientes
Today I say goodbye to the real world
I'm going to move my mind
I have things still pending

Have you ever wanted to escape reality so badly that you just create a whole new world in your head? That's exactly what Sabino is doing in "Una Casa"! He's saying goodbye to the real world, moving into his mind because he has "cosas aún pendientes" [things still pending] with someone he lost. He misses them so much and doesn't want this to be goodbye, so he's building a new life, a new reality, just for them.

He's the architect of this mental world, and he's inviting this person to share his "palacio" [palace]. He promises they'll find all his love in every room. It's a bittersweet fantasy: he was the one who had them, lost them, and couldn't stop himself from creating this whole new world where they love him back and try again. If he can't have them in real life, then at least in his mind, he'll build them "Una casa que sirva para que tú vivas / Aquí para siempre hoy" [A house for you to live in / Here forever today]. It's a pretty intense way to deal with heartbreak, don't you think?

Pregúntale A Mis Ex's (Ask My Exes)
No busques algo serio que yo soy muy mal quedado
Crees que ya llegué por ti, yo ni si quiera me he bañado
Si buscas algo en serio aquí, lugar equivocado
Me dicen jardinero de tanto que voy plantando
Do not look for something serious that I am very badly left
You think I've already come for you, I haven't even bathed
If you are looking for something serious here, wrong place
They call me gardener so much that I'm planting

Sabino's "Pregúntale a Mis Ex's" is a hilariously blunt warning from a guy who knows he's not cut out for a serious relationship. He's upfront about it, telling anyone looking for something real, "No busques algo serio que yo soy muy mal quedado" [Don't look for something serious, I'm really bad at sticking around]. He even jokes about being a "jardinero de tanto que voy plantando" [gardener because of how much I go planting], which is a pretty funny way to say he's not settling down.

He's not trying to trick anyone; he'd rather you know his deal before things get complicated. He admits, "No me tomes en serio que yo soy para un ratito" [Don't take me seriously, I'm just for a little while], and if you're dreaming of a "principito" [prince charming] and a perfect relationship, he's quick to say, "Dale calma, nena, porque así no es" [Calm down, baby, because that's not how it is]. And if you don't believe him? Well, he suggests you just "Pregúntale a mis ex's" [Ask my exes]! It's a catchy, honest, and pretty funny take on avoiding commitment.

La Moral (Morality)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Tú ya sabías, tú ya sabías)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(Tú ya sabías, tú ya sabías)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(You already knew, you already knew)
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
(You already knew, you already knew)

Sabino's "La Moral" is a super direct and almost cheeky song about a relationship where one person (the singer) is a self-proclaimed womanizer, and the other person is upset about it. But here's the twist: he keeps repeating, "Tú ya sabías" [You already knew]. He's basically saying, "Hey, I told you who I was from the start!"

He even questions society's rules, asking, "¿Quién define lo que está bien? ¿Quién define lo que está mal?" [Who defines what is right? Who defines what is wrong?]. It's like he's pushing back against the idea that his actions are inherently 'bad' if his partner knew what she was getting into. He's not trying to sound like a jerk ("No quiero sonar patán" [I don't want to sound like a jerk]), but he's firm in saying, "No puedo dejar de ser quien soy" [I can't stop being who I am]. It's a 'take it or leave it' kind of vibe, and honestly, it's pretty bold!

La Vida Es Una Movie (Life Is a Movie)
Eh, eh, eh
La vida es una movie (la vida es una movie)
La vida es una movie
Y al final te mueres
uh huh huh
Life is a movie (life is a movie)
life is a movie
and in the end you die

Sabino and Los Rivera Destino are here to remind you that "La vida es una movie" [Life is a movie]! This song is all about living your best life because, let's be real, "Y al final te mueres" [And in the end, you die]. It's a fun, upbeat anthem encouraging you to "Goza la vida, nene" [Enjoy life, baby] because "Es la única que tienes" [It's the only one you have].

They tell you to decide how you want to live your movie, whether it's like a Quentin Tarantino film or just chilling in the dressing room with them, "bebiendo junto a Sabino" [drinking with Sabino]. They joke about dressing fancy with "diamantes en platino" [diamonds in platinum] and even "oro en los intestinos" [gold in their intestines]! But the core message is simple: "Vacílate la vida sin molestar a los demás" [Enjoy life without bothering others] and, as Sabino's mom says, "Sé feliz, sé tú mismo" [Be happy, be yourself]. So, get ready to dance, have fun, and make your life the best movie ever!

Tú (You)
Tienes tantas cualidades que no había buscado
Eres alguien que alguna vez yo había imaginado
Puedes hacer que parezca que todo esto es un cuento
Debes estar llena de poderes por dentro (wow)
You have so many qualities that I had not looked for
You are someone that I had once imagined
You can make it seem like this is all a story
You must be full of powers inside (wow)

Sabino's "Tú" is a super fun, high-energy declaration of pure infatuation! He's completely smitten and can't stop listing all the amazing things about this person. He starts by saying she has "tantas cualidades que no había buscado" [so many qualities I hadn't looked for] and that she's "alguien que alguna vez yo había imaginado" [someone I had once imagined]. It's clear she brings out the best in him, making him feel like a kid with a new toy and even making him "volar muy alto sin necesidad de capa" [fly very high without needing a cape]!

What's really cool is how he focuses on the present moment, repeating "Es ahora, mañana no existe" [It's now, tomorrow doesn't exist]. He loves everything about her, from how she smells to the sound of her heels and rings – "¡Cómo suenan!" [How they sound!]. She changes his perspectives, inspires him, and even "crea nuevos mundos" [creates new worlds] with her words. It's a playful, passionate, and totally head-over-heels tribute to someone who makes his world a much better, more exciting place.

Jalo (I'm In)
No, no, no, no, no me quiero ir
Ya están limpiando las mesas
Y me tengo que salir, pero
Yo tengo ganas de seguir la fiesta porque
No, no, no, no, I don't want to go
They are already cleaning the tables
And I have to leave, but
I want to continue the party because

Ever been at a party and just really don't want it to end? That's exactly what Sabino is singing about in "Jalo"! The club is closing, the lights are coming on, and the staff are clearing tables, but he's not ready to go home. He's still got that party energy, singing, "No, no, no, no, no me quiero ir" [No, no, no, no, I don't want to leave] and "La noche grita que esto apenas empieza" [The night screams that this is just beginning].

He's on a mission to keep the good times rolling, asking, "¿Dónde queda el after, we?" [Where's the after-party, dude?]. The whole song is about that desperate, fun feeling of wanting to extend the night, find another spot, and keep the drinks flowing with friends. He's super tired but determined, declaring, "No quiero morir, me quiero divertir" [I don't want to die, I want to have fun]. It's a relatable anthem for anyone who's ever wished the party never had to stop!

Yin Yang
Sin querer llegué a la disco este fin de semana y
Me la pasé tan bien que me quedé hasta la mañana
Era un terreno inexplorado para mí, quizá
Eso fue lo que hizo que me diera curiosidad
I accidentally got to the disco this weekend and
I had such a good time that I stayed until morning
It was uncharted territory for me, maybe
That was what made me curious

Sabino's "Yin Yang" is a super fun and relatable song about finding unexpected connection! Our narrator, who usually doesn't even like to party, ends up at a club one weekend and has such a good time he stays until morning. He meets a girl who tells him she "Vengo sola, yo solo vine a bailar" [I came alone, I just came to dance], and he's totally captivated. He realizes they're like the Yin and Yang – complete opposites who just click.

He's a guy who talks about Space Jam and Back to the Future, while she's into reggaeton and thinks he's talking about Bad Bunny when he mentions Bugs Bunny! He doesn't have a steady job and doesn't worry about it, and he generally doesn't go out. She, on the other hand, loves going to the disco where they play reggaeton. Despite all their differences, they just work, proving that sometimes, opposites really do attract! It's a sweet, funny take on finding your perfect match in the most unexpected places.

Los Enamorados (The Lovers)
El par de raros en la orilla
Ya va toda la noche entera que no se levantan de sus sillas
Parece que la pasan mal porque no bailan nada
Pero te acercas a su mesa y se oyen carcajadas
The pair of weirdos on the shore
It's been all night long that they don't get up from their chairs
It seems that they have a bad time because they don't dance at all
But you approach her table and laughter is heard

Have you ever felt like you and your person are the only ones who get it, even when everyone else is staring? That's the vibe of Sabino and Loli Molina's "Los Enamorados" [The Lovers]. It tells the story of two people at a cantina who seem out of place, sitting in their chairs "toda la noche entera que no se levantan de sus sillas" [all night long they don't get up from their chairs].

They might look like they're not having fun because "no bailan nada" [they don't dance at all], but if you get closer, you hear "carcajadas" [loud laughter]. They're just enjoying each other's company, making "rompecabezas" [puzzles] with their hands, talking with their minds instead of through the crowd. Everyone else sees them as "bichos raros" [weirdos], but what they don't understand is that "estamos enamorados" [we are in love]. It's a sweet, funny song about finding your person in an unexpected place and not caring what anyone else thinks.

Ya Le Bajó (He Already Lowered It)
Va, tengo un pedo: Mi novia tiene dos semanas de retraso
Y la neta yo no estoy listo pa' un embarazo
O sea, la quiero mucho y la relación está al putazo
Va, I have a fart: My girlfriend is two weeks late
And the net I'm not ready for a pregnancy
I mean, I love her a lot and the relationship is screwed

Sabino's "Ya Le Bajó" is a hilarious and relatable ride through a common fear: an unplanned pregnancy. Our guy Sabino is freaking out because his girlfriend is two weeks late, and he's definitely not ready for a baby. He loves her, and their relationship is great, but he's hustling as a rapper and trying to get his university degree. He's worried about how he'd support a child, especially since he just moved back in with his mom to save money and chase his dreams.

The song perfectly captures that anxious spiral, with Sabino seeing baby-related signs everywhere, from diaper discounts at the supermarket to drawings of babies on toilet paper packaging! He's even questioning his past decisions, asking himself, "¿Para qué me vine adentro?" [Why did I come inside?]. The funniest part is when he realizes his girlfriend is already convinced they're having a baby, taking folic acid and even picking out names! But then, a huge wave of relief washes over him with the repeated line, "¡Hey! ¡Hey! ¡Hey! Ya le bajó y el susto se me quitó" [Hey! Hey! Hey! She got her period and the scare went away]. It's a super honest and funny look at a moment of panic and the ultimate relief when things go back to normal.

Película (Movie)
Ahora que te vas
No quiero que se te olvide nada
Llévate tus cosas, llévate tus besos
¡Va!
Now that you're leaving
I don't want you to forget anything
Take your things, take your kisses
Go!

Sabino's "Película" is a really interesting take on a breakup song. Instead of just being sad, it's almost like the singer is trying to erase the relationship by meticulously listing everything his ex should take with her. He's like, "Ahora que te vas, no quiero que se te olvide nada" [Now that you're leaving, I don't want you to forget anything]. He wants her to grab everything: her lamp, her pillow, the nuts in the jar, even her nail polish that he likes! It's a bit funny how specific he gets, even mentioning "tu ropa apretada tu falda morada" [your tight clothes, your purple skirt] and "tus labios brillosos y tus arracadas" [your shiny lips and your hoop earrings].

But beneath all the stuff, you can feel the hurt. He keeps repeating, "Llévate cada vez que dijiste que me amas" [Take every time you said you loved me], because he knows now it wasn't true. He's clearly confused and betrayed, asking, "Tú no me amas ¿que onda contigo?" [You don't love me, what's up with you?]. The song ends with him wanting to forget it all, saying, "Película fue lo que vivimos bebé, y esa película fue, yo ya no la quiero ver" [What we lived was a movie, baby, and that movie, I don't want to see it anymore]. He even tells her to take the DVD so he doesn't have to see it again. It's a really clever way to express the pain of a breakup, by trying to literally clear out all the memories.

No Te Quiero Perder (I Don't Want to Lose You)
No te quiero perder
Que la distancia
Se devore nuestra miel
I do not want to lose you
that the distance
Our honey is devoured

Have you ever been in a relationship where everyone else seems to have an opinion about it? Sabino and Carla Morrison totally get it in "No Te Quiero Perder" [I Don't Want to Lose You]. This song is all about dealing with those annoying rumors and jealous friends who try to mess things up.

Sabino sings about someone spreading gossip, saying he was seen "con alguien" [with someone] or "de vago" [wandering around]. He's quick to point out that these friends are just "pura envidia ma'" [pure envy, girl] because their love is "honesto" [honest] and "nuestro, tuyo y mío" [ours, yours and mine]. He reassures his partner that "nunca habrá distancia que devore nuestra miel" [there will never be distance that devours our honey] and he thinks about her "en los aeropuertos, Centrales de camiones, carreteras y conciertos" [in airports, bus stations, highways, and concerts]. Carla Morrison's beautiful vocals add to the heartfelt plea, making it clear that their love is strong enough to overcome any gossip or distance. It's a sweet reminder to trust each other and not let outside noise ruin something special.

Conmigo Siempre (Always With Me)
Tú tienes ese algo que yo estaba buscando
Lo que me hace falta desde ya hace tantos años
Tienes ese tíbiriri que a mí me sorprende
Y quiero que estés conmigo siempre
You have that something I was looking for
What I have needed for so many years
You have that tibiriri that surprises me
And I want you to be with me always

Sabino's "Conmigo Siempre" is such a sweet and direct love song! It's all about finding that special someone you've been searching for, that person who just gets you. He sings, "Tú tienes ese algo que yo estaba buscando" [You have that something I was looking for] and "Lo que me hace falta desde ya hace tantos años" [What I've been missing for so many years]. He even mentions a mysterious "tíbiriri" that surprises him, which is a fun, quirky way to say they have a unique spark!

He's not shy about wanting them to stay, saying "Quiero que estés conmigo siempre" [I want you to be with me always]. He promises to be patient and wants to share everyday life, like coming home and telling each other about their day. It's a promise for a lifetime of love and fun: "De amarte no me vo'a cansar / Te vas a divertir" [I won't get tired of loving you / You're going to have fun]. He's even got a funny line about what to do if he ever messes up: "Cuando sientas que te falle / Y que no tenga detalles / Mándame pa' la calle" [When you feel that I fail you / And that I don't have details / Send me to the street]! But until then, he wants them to know they're in his future, and this love is going to last.
