CONTENTS SUMMARY
Hoy (Today)
Tengo marcado en el pecho
Todos los días que el tiempo
No me dejó estar aquí
Tengo una fe que madura
I've marked on my chest
All the days that time
Didn't let me be here
I've a faith that matures

"Hoy" (“Today”) is a joyful love-letter set to the irresistible rhythm of Latin cumbia. Throughout the verses, La Planta lists all the treasures she carries inside: a maturing faith, the memory of mornings shared, a watercolor waiting to paint her partner’s world blue. Each image shows how even distance cannot erase the marks her lover has left on her heart. She feels like a coin tossed into a fountain, holding one wish: to be reunited.

The chorus bursts with anticipation. “Today I am going to see you again,” she declares, ready to wrap herself in her partner’s clothes, whisper away their sadness, and throw a party so their love keeps growing. With shout-outs to Colombia, Argentina, and Uruguay, the song also celebrates the shared Latin spirit that unites them. In short, “Hoy” is about cherishing memories, trusting in love’s direction, and dancing your way back into each other’s arms the very moment you meet. Enjoy the musical reunion!

Mil Preguntas (A Thousand Questions)
Una vez más
Desde la casa de la cumbia
Cantándole al amor
¿Cómo te va con él?
One more time
From the house of cumbia
Singing to love
How's it going with him?

“Mil Preguntas” bursts out of la casa de la cumbia with an upbeat rhythm that invites you to dance, yet the story behind the groove is anything but carefree. Over sparkling percussion and accordion flourishes, The La Planta and Luana trade lines filled with shock and heartbreak. Just a week ago, the couple laughed and spun through a waltz in their favorite bar. Now the singer spots two glasses on the bedside table, notices telltale marks “en la piel,” and realizes that the person who once cried drunken te amo’s has already moved on. The contrast between lively cumbia and raw disappointment gives the song its bittersweet kick.

The chorus sums up the emotional whirlwind: “Tengo mil preguntas y ni una disculpa.” A thousand questions swarm the narrator’s mind—Why the sudden change? Who shared that second glass? How can someone switch from love to silence in a single beat?—yet not one apology arrives. The duet format lets us hear both sides, turning the track into a musical interrogation where the accused struggles to meet the gaze of the betrayed. In the end, “Mil Preguntas” captures the sting of betrayal wrapped in the irresistible sway of Colombian cumbia, reminding listeners that even the brightest dance floor can hide a broken heart.

Te Mentiría (I Would Lie To You)
Hola
Yo sé que estás pensando lo mismo que yo a esta hora
Por más que sé que le decís lo mismo a diez personas
No digas que me amas a la noche y al día me odias
Hello
I know that you're thinking the same thing as I am at this hour
Even though I know that you say the same thing to ten people
Don't say that you love me at night and by day you hate me

“Te Mentiría” is the ultimate post-breakup confession booth. Over a bouncing, urban-pop beat, The La Planta drops her brave face and admits that all the new parties, flings, and flashy zeros in her bank account are just smoke and mirrors. She keeps telling herself—and everyone else—that she is thriving, yet the truth slips out: every time her mind drifts, it lands right back in her ex’s arms. The hook (“Te mentiría…”) is her cheeky way of saying I’d be lying if I claimed otherwise.

Dig a little deeper and you will hear a tug-of-war between ego and vulnerability. She throws playful jabs—“Wasn’t this what you wanted?”—while simultaneously clinging to the idea that the ex still belongs to her, even if they are dating someone new. The song captures that messy stage where pride, jealousy, and genuine longing all mix together, making it the perfect anthem for anyone who has ever tried to act unbothered when their heart clearly says otherwise.

Si Esta Casa Hablara (If This House Could Talk)

The La Planta, Pablito HC
Introducing the new
How do you say?

Have you ever had someone from your past suddenly reappear, making you question everything? That's exactly what's happening in The La Planta's "Si Esta Casa Hablara"! The song kicks off with a reunion after a long time apart. The other person shows up, claiming they never stopped loving the singer, who then asks, "¿Qué vienes a buscar?" [What are you looking for?]. It's clear there's still a strong connection, as the lyrics say, "El tiempo no ha borrado lo que hemos vivido" [Time hasn't erased what we've lived].

Things get really interesting when the singer invites them in, saying, "Ven pasa ¿a que le temes?" [Come in, what are you afraid of?]. The song then imagines what the house and its contents would say if they could speak. "Si esta casa hablara confesaría / Que somos par de locos que aman sin medida" [If this house spoke, it would confess / That we are a couple of crazy people who love without measure]. And it gets even more playful: "Si esta cama hablara se convertiría / En profesora de sexo y anatomía" [If this bed spoke, it would become / A professor of sex and anatomy]. The song is a fun, passionate look at rekindled love and all the memories a shared space holds.

A PRUEBA DE BALAS (Bulletproof)
Sí, sí
Una vez más
Desde la casa de la cumbia
¿Cómo dice?
Yes Yes
One more time
From the house of cumbia
How does she say?

Get ready to feel some serious emotions with "A PRUEBA DE BALAS"! This song is all about the pain of a breakup and the struggle to move on. The singer is clearly heartbroken, describing how "Afuera está lloviendo y mi cora' llorando" [Outside it's raining and my heart is crying] and how "Los días son grise' porque no estás a mi lado" [The days are gray because you're not by my side].

They're grappling with the confusion of who was at fault, singing "No sé qué pasó / La verdad es que no sé si fuiste tú o si fui yo el que falló" [I don't know what happened / The truth is I don't know if it was you or if it was me who failed]. Despite the hurt, there's a strong sense of resilience. The repeated line "Y ahora entiendo que mi corazón / Es a prueba de balas" [And now I understand that my heart / Is bulletproof] shows a powerful journey from sadness to strength. Even though they believe the ex will return "Como una paloma en mi ventana" [Like a dove at my window], they've come to terms with the fact that their heart can withstand anything.

Alas De Papel (Paper Wings)
Una vez más, desde la casa de la cumbia
Uruguay, PR
Siento que no corre el tiempo
Curé mis sentimientos
Once again, from the house of the cumbia
Uruguay, PR
I feel that time does not run
I cured my feelings

Have you ever been through a breakup where you just couldn't accept it was over? That's exactly what The La Planta, De La Ghetto, and Locura Mix are singing about in "Alas De Papel"! This song is a raw look at the pain of a split, with the singer feeling like time has stopped and their days turned dark the moment their love walked away.

They're still holding onto hope, even asking their ex to "Miénteme que tú me extrañas todavía" [Lie to me that you still miss me]. The title, "Alas De Papel" [Paper Wings], is such a cool image for how fragile their hope is, like they're flying on wings that could tear at any moment. Even though they know it might be over, their heart "no puede aceptar que es una despedida" [cannot accept that it's a goodbye]. But by the end, there's a shift – they realize they have to keep living, keep drinking, and "Mejor irse de rumba y no morir de amor" [Better to go out and party and not die of love]. It's a whole journey of heartbreak and finally, moving on!

Por El Contrario (On The Contrary)
¿Cómo dice?
Si se supone que ya te olvidé
Que lo de nosotros ya descanse en paz
Dime, ¿Qué hago aquí en mi soledad
How do you say?
If I'm supposed to have already forgotten you
May ours rest in peace
Tell me, what am I doing here in my loneliness

Have you ever tried to convince yourself you're over someone, but your heart just isn't getting the memo? That's exactly what The La Planta is singing about in "Por El Contrario"! He's asking, "Si se supone que ya te olvidé... Dime, ¿Qué hago aquí en mi soledad pensando en cómo estás?" [If I'm supposed to have forgotten you... Tell me, what am I doing here in my loneliness thinking about how you are?]. It's that classic post-breakup struggle where you're trying to move on, but every quiet moment brings them back to mind.

He's really wrestling with the idea of his ex being with someone new, wondering "Si todavía sigo en tu cabeza" [If I'm still in your head] and if they've even covered up his name with a new tattoo! Meanwhile, he's doing the exact opposite, admitting, "Yo, por el contrario, casi pierdo el alma pa' no sentir tu adiós que me desarma" [I, on the contrary, almost lost my soul so as not to feel your goodbye that disarms me]. He even tried to negotiate with karma to avoid the pain, but karma told him, "Todo se paga, todo se paga" [Everything is paid for, everything is paid for]. It's a really honest look at how hard it is to let go, even when you know you should.

Universo Paralelo (Parallel Universe)
Compraría un palco en tu ventana
Para verte abrir los ojos con el sol cada mañana
Pero tu estrella es tan lejana
Que juro que me lo guardo con dolor
I would buy a box in your window
To see you open your eyes with the sun every morning
But your star is so far away
I swear that I keep it with pain

Have you ever been so completely smitten with someone that just seeing them makes your heart race, but you're too shy or scared to tell them? That's exactly what The La Planta is singing about in "Universo Paralelo"! He dreams of buying a box seat at her window, "Compraría un palco en tu ventana" [I would buy a box seat at your window], just to watch her wake up every morning. But he knows she's out of his league, like a distant star, "Pero tu estrella es tan lejana" [But your star is so distant], and he has to keep his feelings a secret.

It's a total internal struggle! He feels an explosion when she's near, "Cuando te tengo al ladito hay explosión" [When I have you by my side there's an explosion], a perfect symbiosis, but he knows she doesn't even notice him. He'd be so embarrassed if she found out, "Me daría tal vergüenza si te dieras cuenta ahora" [I'd be so ashamed if you found out now], because she's his whole world, his "universo paralelo" [parallel universe]. He's literally forcing himself not to shout "I love you!" It's such a relatable feeling of intense, secret adoration, all wrapped up in a catchy beat. You can really feel his pain and his longing!

La Bachata
Pero por otra cuenta veo tus historias
Tu número Yo borré
No sé para que así mero se de memoria
Me hiciste daño
But on the other hand I see your stories
your number I deleted
I don't know why it is by heart
You hurt me

This song captures the complicated feelings after a painful breakup. The singer is trying to move on, even deleting their ex's number, but admits they still know it by heart and secretly check their ex's social media stories from another account. It's a classic case of the head and heart being in two different places. They know they were hurt, but they can't stop missing the person and reminiscing about the good times, like driving through the streets where they used to kiss and listening to songs that were once dedicated to them.

The lyrics reveal the reason for the heartbreak: "éramos tres en una relación de dos" (we were three in a two-person relationship), pointing to infidelity. Despite the pain and the temptation to ask their ex to come back, the singer knows that's not the right path. Instead, they pray for strength and hope their ex experiences the same hurt they caused. The song ends on a note of hard-won wisdom, with the singer realizing the experience taught them valuable lessons about what they don't want in love.

El Manual (The Manual)
Se acabó, nadie vuelve a jugar de nuevo
Como tú lo hiciste conmigo
¿Pa' qué prometiste estar juntos? Estoy confundido
Porque nadie me dio un manual
It's over, no one plays again
like you did with me
Why did you promise to be together? I'm confused
Because no one gave me a manual

Have you ever felt completely lost after a breakup, wishing there was a guide to help you get over someone? That's exactly what The La Planta and Pushi are singing about in "El Manual"! Our singer is totally fed up, declaring, "Se acabó, nadie vuelve a jugar de nuevo / Como tú lo hiciste conmigo" [It's over, no one will play games again / Like you did with me]. They're confused and hurt, asking, "¿Pa' qué prometiste estar juntos?" [Why did you promise to be together?], because now they're stuck without a "manual" to forget their love.

It sounds like this relationship was a real rollercoaster! The singer admits, "Como un tonto te creía" [Like a fool, I believed you] every time their partner said they loved them. They never imagined it would be so "problemático" [problematic] and wonder where all the "química" [chemistry] went. Now, they're done being played, firmly stating, "Yo no soy juguete de nadie más" [I'm not anyone's toy anymore]. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who's ready to move on and reclaim their independence after a confusing breakup!

No Es Normal (It's Not Normal)
Sí, sí
Esta noche me dio por llamarte y te juro que yo pensé más de una vez
La verdad no quiero molestar, yo no sé si tienes alguien que te haga bien
Te confieso que ya no me aguanto las ganas de hacerte mía como ayer
Yeah, yeah
Tonight I felt like calling you and I swear that I thought about it more than once
Honestly I don't want to bother, I don't know if you have someone that makes you feel good
I confess to you that I can't hold back the urge to make you mine like yesterday

No Es Normal drops listeners right into that restless moment when you reach for the phone at midnight, still aching for someone you said goodbye to. The lyrics circle around a confession that feels both tender and urgent: thinking about you like this isn’t normal… yet I can’t stop. Every memory triggers a rush of sensation, from the scent of hair to the sight of a smile in a photo. Over a smooth, Latin-pop beat, The La Planta and Momo trade verses that capture the tug-of-war between pride and longing, reminding us how powerful nostalgia can be when love lingers just out of reach.

At its heart, the song is a late-night love letter where desire wins the battle against reason. The singers openly crave one more night together, convinced that reliving their past passion might quiet the ache in their chest. That mix of vulnerability, sensual imagery, and unapologetic yearning gives No Es Normal its magnetic pull, making us all relive those unforgettable, “just one more time” moments of our own.

Salimo En Caravana (We Went Out In A Caravan)
Tengo una vecina que tiene un par de amigas
Que se vienen esta noche pa' agitar
Se dejó del novio hace un par de días
Y obvio que esta noche se viene a bailar
I have a neighbor that has a couple friends
That are coming tonight to hype things up
She dumped the boyfriend a couple days ago
And obviously tonight she's coming to dance

Salimo En Caravana is a high-energy anthem that captures the thrill of rolling out with your crew for an all-night summer party. The story kicks off when a newly single neighbor rounds up her friends to forget their exes on the dance floor. From loading a pitcher of fernet with extra ice to cruising the Panamericana in low-riding cars and roaring motorcycles, every line celebrates freedom, bold moves, and loud music. The night is painted with cumbia beats, clouds of smoke, designer sneakers, and sparkling bottles—an invitation to leave worries behind and dive head-first into the weekend.

Featuring Colombian artist The La Planta alongside EL NOBA and Locura Mix, the track also salutes the cross-border bond between Uruguay, Argentina, and Colombia. It’s a shout-out to street style and barrio pride where the party only heats up as the temperature rises. Flirty glances, fearless dancing, and a chorus that insists “si no te pega, te levanta” (if it doesn’t hit you, it lifts you) make the song a soundtrack for nights when you and your friends turn a casual hangout into a legendary caravan of pure celebration.

El Cielo A Un Diablo (Heaven To A Devil)
Sí, sí
Bebé, tú me conoces
Sabes que nunca he sido de una sola mujer
No busques que el corazón te lo destroce
Yeah, yeah
Babe, you know me
You know that I've never been a one-woman guy
Don't look for me to shatter your heart

El Cielo A Un Diablo is a bold confession set to an infectious Colombian beat. The narrator speaks straight to a woman who hopes to tame his wandering heart, but he quickly reminds her who he is: someone who chases pleasure, not promises. Lines like “Bebé, le estás pidiendo el cielo a un diablo” paint a vivid image—she is asking the impossible, requesting heavenly devotion from someone who openly calls himself a devil. In playful yet blunt verses, he admits her attraction is only a “capricho” and warns that love stories featuring Cupid simply “don’t sell around here.”

Underneath the catchy rhythm, the song explores the clash between romantic expectations and raw honesty. Rather than sugar-coating his intentions, The La Planta (with Pushi’s production flair) lets listeners hear an unfiltered manifesto of modern, commitment-free relationships. The lively instrumental might invite you to dance, but the lyrics remind you to keep your head clear: if you try to make a lover out of this self-proclaimed diablo, you will end up chasing the sun on a cold day—an impossible mission.
