CONTENTS SUMMARY
Querida Yo (Dear Me)
Querida yo, ¿qué tal te va?
Sé que no todo está tan bien
Pero quería mostrarte
Lo lejos que llegaste
Dear me, how's it going?
I know that not everything's so good
But I wanted to show you
How far you've come

This song is a beautiful and kind letter written to yourself. Yami Safdie and Camilo sing from the perspective of their future selves, reaching back in time to offer some much-needed encouragement.

They start by acknowledging that things aren't perfect right now, singing, "Sé que no todo está tan bien" (I know not everything is so good). But the point isn't to focus on the bad stuff. It's a reminder to see "Lo lejos que llegaste" (How far you've come). The song is full of gentle advice and reassurance, like a warm hug. Camilo tells his past self to stop trying so hard to impress others because "Lo que tienes dentro tuyo es suficiente" (What you have inside you is enough). It's a powerful message about trusting the process, being patient, and loving the person you were, are, and will become.

En Otra Vida (In Another Life)
En esta no se pudo, pero
En otra vida
Nos casamos y viajamos por el mundo
Nos mudamos a un pisito en el segundo
In this one it couldn't be, but
In another life
We get married and travel the world
We move to a little apartment on the second floor

This song is a beautiful and heartbreaking daydream about a love that didn't work out. The singers, Argentinian artist Yami Safdie and Lasso, imagine a perfect alternate reality where everything went right. In this other life, they say, "Nos casamos y viajamos por el mundo" (We got married and traveled the world) and even had kids who "Heredaron mi paciencia y tu sonrisa" (Inherited my patience and your smile). The dream is so detailed and feels so real that the singer starts to wonder if this current, lonely life is the actual nightmare.

Back in reality, they admit they don't know why it failed, suggesting it was maybe "un capricho de Dios / O el coraje que siempre faltó a los dos" (a whim of God / Or the courage we both always lacked). Despite the fantasy of another life, there's still a glimmer of hope for this one. The song ends with a simple, direct plea: "Pero yo aquí te esperaré / Si cambias de opinión" (But I'll wait for you here / If you change your mind), leaving the story on a bittersweet note.

Pero Yo Sí (But I Do)
Loco, más vale que no te cruce
Cualquier día por la calle caminando
Fueron solo un par de reglas que te puse
Que la cuides y no la dejes llorando
Dude, you'd better hope I don't run into you
Any day walking down the street
It was just a couple rules I set
Take care of her and don't leave her crying

Have you ever been the protective friend who has to pick up the pieces after a bad breakup? In "Pero Yo Sí," Argentinian artist Yami Safdie sings from that exact perspective. The song is a powerful warning to an ex-partner who hurt her friend. The speaker is furious, telling this person they'd better not cross her path on the street. She reminds him that she only gave him a couple of simple rules: take care of her friend and don't make her cry. He failed miserably.

The speaker points out that while her friend might eventually forgive and forget the pain he caused, she never will. The title itself, which translates to "But I Do," captures this feeling perfectly. She was the one who saw her friend cry, question what she did wrong, and suffer through sleepless nights. He wasn't there for the aftermath, so he doesn't get to just come back now that he regrets it. It's a fierce anthem about friendship and holding people accountable for their actions, even when the person they hurt is ready to move on.

Tango De Crueldad (Cruelty Tango)
Me estás volviendo loca, jugás con mi cabeza
En tus ojos empieza y termina en tu boca
Y sé que no somos pocas las que caen a tus pies
Yo acá siéndote fiel y a vos poco te importa
You're driving me crazy, you're playing with my head
It begins in your eyes and ends in your mouth
And I know that there are not a few of us who fall at your feet
I am here being faithful to you and you care little

Get ready for a dramatic dance of emotions in "Tango De Crueldad"! The title itself, which means "Tango of Cruelty," sets the stage for a story about a complicated and unfair relationship. Yami Safdie sings from the perspective of someone who is deeply in love but feels like she's being played. She sings, "He wants me sometimes, I love him always," perfectly capturing the painful imbalance. She knows his tricks and his confusing messages keep her hooked, even though it's breaking her heart.

Then, Omar Montes enters with a completely different point of view. He sees their connection as something casual and not very deep, telling her, "Baby, this isn't that deep / We get with each other even though we're not together." Their conflicting perspectives create a classic tale of mixed signals and unrequited feelings, all set to the rhythm of a passionate, yet cruel, tango.

Me Equivoqué (I Made a Mistake)
Baby, nunca me gustaste
Me gustó tu potencial
Pensé que éramos algo aparte, tal para cual
Mala mía ilusionarme
Baby, I never liked you
I liked your potential
I thought we were something different, a perfect match
My bad for getting my hopes up

"Me Equivoqué" is Yami Safdie admitting she got it wrong about someone she was falling for.

She never really liked him for who he was, she liked his potential, the person she imagined he could become. When things fall apart, she refuses to blame him for it. The mistake was hers: she built up a fantasy in her head, expected too much, and fell for an idea rather than the real person in front of her.

It is a song about taking responsibility for your own disappointment, and being honest that sometimes the problem is not the other person, but how much you hoped they would be.

Tu Versión De La Historia (Your Version Of The Story)
Me llegó tu versión de la historia
La que tanto te gusta contar
No sé si te falló la memoria
Pero te la puedo refrescar
I got your version of the story
The one that you like to tell so much
I don't know if your memory failed you
But I can refresh it for you

Have you ever heard someone tell a story about you, and you're just thinking, "Wait, that's not how it happened at all!"? That's exactly what Yami Safdie and FLOR ALVAREZ are singing about in "Tu Versión De La Historia" [Your Version Of The Story]. It's a super sassy song where the singer calls out an ex for spreading a totally made-up version of their breakup.

The lyrics are so direct and a little bit savage, in the best way! She basically tells this person, "Me llegó tu versión de la historia, la que tanto te gusta contar" [Your version of the story reached me, the one you love to tell]. She even suggests they should become a fiction writer because their story is so wild! But she also gives a warning: "Cuidado con lo que dices, que el pez por la boca muere" [Be careful what you say, because the fish dies by its mouth], reminding them that she has her own side of the story, and they probably don't want her to tell it. It's all about reclaiming your narrative and saying, "I'm not the bad guy in my story, and I've moved on!"

Perdón (Sorry)
Perdón, sé que te está matando
El saber que me voy y no puedes cambiarlo
Perdón, a mí también me duele
Pero esta situación se nos fue de las manos
Sorry I know it's killing you
Knowing that I'm leaving and you can't change it
Sorry, it hurts me too
But this situation got out of hand

Have you ever had to make a really tough decision for yourself, even when you knew it would hurt someone you care about? That's exactly what Yami Safdie's song "Perdón" is all about. It's a heartfelt apology, but not one of regret. Instead, it's an apology for choosing herself, for finally putting her own needs first.

She sings, "Perdón, sé que te está matando / El saber que me voy y no puedes cambiarlo" [Sorry, I know it's killing you / To know that I'm leaving and you can't change it]. It's a really honest look at the pain of a breakup, not just for the person being left, but for the person doing the leaving too. Yami admits, "a mí también me duele" [it hurts me too], but she's firm in her decision. She's tired of always putting the other person first, saying, "En lugar de cuidarte voy a cuidarme a mí" [Instead of taking care of you, I'm going to take care of myself]. It's a powerful message about self-love and setting boundaries, even when it's incredibly difficult.

Por Favor (Please)
Qué loco, verte con ella en las fotos
Creo que me recuerda un poco
A como nos veíamos
Qué loco, que digas que no te importo
How crazy, seeing you with her in the photos
I think it reminds me a little
How we looked
How crazy, that you say you don't care about me

Have you ever seen an ex with someone new and thought, "Wait, are they trying to replace me with my clone?" That's exactly what Yami Safdie is singing about in "Por Favor"! She's looking at photos of her ex with his new partner and can't help but notice the similarities. She sings, "Qué loco, verte con ella en las fotos / Creo que me recuerda un poco / A como nos veíamos" [How crazy, seeing you with her in the photos / I think it reminds me a little / Of how we used to look].

It's a really relatable feeling of disbelief and a little bit of sass. Yami is basically saying, "Seriously? You're out here with my 2.0?" She points out that the new person has "los mismos ojos y la misma voz / La misma manera dulce de decirte 'amor'" [the same eyes and the same voice / The same sweet way of saying 'love' to you]. She knows he's trying to pretend nothing's changed, but she's calling him out, saying, "Puedes mentirle a las redes, a ti mismo no" [You can lie to social media, but not to yourself]. She's confident that what they had was irreplaceable and that he won't find her in anyone else. It's a powerful song about knowing your worth and not letting an ex get away with trying to find a carbon copy of you.

Buen Provecho (Enjoy Your Meal)
Me decía que éramos dos
Se ve que no sabe contar
No sé de dónde la sacó
Y a esta altura no me importa
He told me that there were two of us
It looks like he doesn't know how to count
I don't know where he got it from
And at this point I don't care

Yami Safdie's "Buen Provecho" is a sassy anthem about knowing your worth and refusing to compete for someone's affection. Our singer is not here for games, especially when a guy thinks he can have two people vying for his attention. She hilariously points out, "Me decía que éramos dos / Se ve que no sabe contar" [He told me there were two of us / It seems he can't count], making it clear she's not interested in being one of many.

She's done with wasting time on indecisive partners, telling him, "Porfa, no me elijas a mí / Mejor mentile a alguien más" [Please, don't choose me / Better lie to someone else]. It's a blunt, refreshing take on walking away from someone who doesn't appreciate you, and she wishes him well with a sarcastic "Que te diviertas y buen provecho" [Have fun and enjoy your meal] – basically, good riddance! She's all about being "todo o nada" [all or nothing] and knows she deserves someone who feels the same.

En Otra Vida - Versión Cuarteto (In Another Life - Cuarteto Version)
En esta no se pudo, pero
En otra vida
Nos casamos y viajamos por el mundo
Nos mudamos a un pisito en un segundo
In this one it was not possible, but
in another life
We got married and traveled the world
We move to a flat in a second

Have you ever thought about a "what if" scenario with someone you really cared about? Yami Safdie, with Luck Ra and Q'Lokura, explores exactly that in "En Otra Vida - Versión Cuarteto." It's a super catchy song from Argentina that imagines a perfect life with a past love, but in another reality.

The lyrics are so relatable, dreaming of a life where they did get married, traveled the world, and even had parents who were friends! "Nuestros hijos / Heredaron mi paciencia y tu sonrisa" [Our children / Inherited my patience and your smile] is such a sweet image. But then, the song brings you back to the present with a blunt, "En esta, no" [In this one, no]. It's about wondering why things didn't work out – maybe it was "un capricho de Dios / O el coraje que siempre faltó" [a whim of God / Or the courage that was always missing]. Despite everything, there's still a glimmer of hope, with the singer saying, "Aquí te esperaré / Si cambias de opinión" [Here I will wait for you / If you change your mind]. It's a beautiful, bittersweet look at what could have been, and what still might be.

Permiso (Excuse Me)
Ya sé porque me llamaste
Se ve que te enteraste
Y verme con otro te arde
Vas a tener que disculparme
I know why you called me
It looks like you found out
And seeing me with someone else burns you
You're going to have to excuse me

Yami Safdie's "Permiso" is a super fun and empowering anthem about moving on from a past relationship! Our singer is out at the club, having a great time, when her ex calls. She knows exactly why he's calling: "Ya sé porque me llamaste / Se ve que te enteraste / Y verme con otro te arde" [I already know why you called / It seems you found out / And seeing me with another burns you]. He's clearly upset she's with someone else, but she's not having it. She tells him straight up, "Me encantaría quedarme / Pero se me hace tarde" [I'd love to stay / But it's getting late], before dropping the mic with "Así que permiso / Que me esperan en la disco" [So, excuse me / They're waiting for me at the club].

She's totally over him and reminds him, "No me andes llorando / Si estoy bailando con otro tipo" [Don't come crying to me / If I'm dancing with another guy]. The lyrics really hit home when she says, "Quiere porque no se puede / Y cuando pudo no quiso" [He wants to because he can't / And when he could, he didn't want to]. It's a classic case of wanting what you can't have! She's found herself again, declaring, "Me perdí, pero ya me encontré" [I got lost, but I already found myself]. This song is all about reclaiming your power and enjoying your freedom after a breakup. So, turn it up and dance your heart out!

Amor A Distancia (Love From Afar)
Ay, dime, ¿qué se hace?
Cuando el único que puede curarte
Está a kilómetros en otra parte
Cuando ya no me alcanza con llamarte
Oh, tell me, what is done?
When the only one who can heal you
He's miles away elsewhere
When he no longer reaches me with calling you

Have you ever been in love with someone far away? Yami Safdie and Lucauy totally get it in "Amor A Distancia" [Love at a Distance]. This song is all about that ache when the person who can fix everything is "a kilómetros en otra parte" [kilometers away somewhere else]. It's that feeling when calling them just isn't enough anymore, and it hurts just to think about them.

The lyrics really hit home, asking, "¿qué se hace?" [what do you do?] when you're dying to go find them but all you can do is get used to missing them and not being able to touch them. There's even a moment where the singer admits to getting a "diploma como el más idiota" [diploma as the biggest idiot] for getting their hopes up about taking someone to Italy, only for that person to be kissing someone else now. Ouch! It's a relatable song about the pain of a love that's just out of reach, and the struggle to move on.

El Bolero (The Bolero)
Sé que dijimos que ya no íbamos a hablarno'
Pero tengo esta situación que está pasando
Y poquito a poco me va matando
Y no encuentro la solución
I know that we said we weren't going to talk anymore
But I have this situation that's happening
And little by little it's killing me
And I can't find the solution

Have you ever tried to move on from someone, but they just keep popping up everywhere? That's exactly what Yami Safdie and Milo j are singing about in "El Bolero"! Even though they said they wouldn't talk anymore, the singer is stuck in a situation that's slowly killing them, feeling like they have a "fantasma que to' el día me persigue" [ghost that chases me all day] showing them their ex's smile everywhere they look.

It's a relatable feeling of being haunted by memories, trying to escape a "maldición" [curse] that makes them constantly think about their former love. They even admit to trying to replace their ex's touch, only to break someone else's heart. The lyrics really hit home when they say, "Yo sigo viéndote en sus ojos" [I keep seeing you in their eyes] – that feeling of trying to love someone new, but still seeing the old love in everyone. It's a powerful song about the struggle to let go, even when you know it's over.

Flashbacks
Estuve teniendo flashbacks all week
Recordándote en mi cama shorty
No me puedo dormir
Y llámame si es que te sientes lonely
I was having flashbacks all week
Remembering you in my bed shorty
I can not sleep
And call me if you feel lonely

Yami Safdie and Nacho's "Flashbacks" is a super fun, flirty song about being completely consumed by thoughts of someone you've been intimate with. The singers are both having "flashbacks all week" [Estuve teniendo flashbacks all week] of a passionate encounter, making it impossible to sleep. They can't stop thinking about the physical connection, like "your hand on my neck, watching me intently" [Tu mano en mi cuello viéndome fijo] and whispering things in their ear.

It's all about that intense longing to relive those moments. They're so distracted that they "can't concentrate on anything now" [Ahora para nada me concentro] and just close their eyes, seeing the other person's body. The lyrics are pretty direct and playful, with lines like "take a picture of me and save it until we see each other again" [sácame una foto y guárdala hasta que volvamos a vernos] and not caring "what the neighbors complain about" [No me importa que se quejen los vecinos]. It's a confident, no-holds-barred invitation to reconnect and lose control together, emphasizing that it's "only with you" [Solo con vos] that they feel this way.

De Manual (Manually)
To' empieza con 'Tenemos que hablar'
Vuelve la ansiedad
Y cuesta respirar
Pasan las horas preguntando qué hice mal
Everything starts with "We need to talk"
The anxiety comes back
And it's hard to breathe
Hours go by asking what I did wrong

Have you ever been in that moment where you just know a breakup is coming? That's exactly where Yami Safdie and ENEZ 4R take us in "De Manual." The song kicks off with that dreaded phrase, "Tenemos que hablar" [We need to talk], and you can feel the anxiety building, making it hard to breathe. The singer spends hours wondering what went wrong, but this time, she's determined not to cry.

She's heard it all before and doesn't want to hear the "excusas de manual" [by-the-book excuses] because they won't change the fact that she's going to get hurt. She's not buying the "Es lo mejor para los dos" [It's for the best for both of us] line either. She knows things felt right at the beginning, but his energy changed; he stopped having fun and smiling. The uncomfortable minutes turned into hours, and now, "Cada uno por su lado" [Each one on their own]. It's a blunt, honest look at the end of a relationship where one person is just over the other's predictable breakup script.

FC (CMTV Acústico) (FC (CMTV Acoustic))
Ya mí
Buenos aires- music factory
Los firma todos y ahora somos los
Extraños que se escribe en su lugar el
and me
buenos aires - music factory
signs them all and now we are the
strangers who write in their place the

This song, "FC (CMTV Acústico)" by Yami Safdie, is a really relatable look at a past relationship that just won't let go. It's all about that weird space where you're not together anymore, but you're still in each other's lives, even if it's just for a birthday message. Yami sings about being "dos extraños que se escriben solo para el cumpleaños" [two strangers who only write to each other for birthdays], which perfectly sums up that bittersweet feeling.

She's wishing her ex a happy birthday, but you can tell there's still a lot of unresolved emotion. She even says, "discúlpame sino traje tu regalo" [forgive me if I didn't bring your gift], which is a bit sarcastic and sad at the same time. The song explores the struggle of trying to move on when you're still thinking about someone, wondering if they're thinking of you too. It's a raw and honest take on how hard it is to truly forget someone you once loved, even when you know you should.

Amor Prestado (Borrowed Love)
¿Cómo que tienes que irte tan pronto?
¿No que éramos uno pa'l otro?
Si afuera hace frío
¿Por qué no te quedas conmigo?
How come you have to leave so soon?
Weren't we one for each other?
If it's cold outside
Why don't you stay with me?

Yami Safdie sings this from the side of the story nobody puts on a greeting card. She is the other woman, she knows it, and she says so in the chorus: "Pero tu amor es prestado" (But your love is borrowed). Once love is a loan, the rest follows. It has to go back, "Y tengo que devolverte" (And I have to give you back), and there is a date on it. She never asks him to leave anyone. She only asks why the visit is so short: "¿Cómo que tienes que irte tan pronto?" (How come you have to leave so soon?).

What saves it from self-pity is that she takes the blame herself. "Y solo es mía la culpa" (And the fault is only mine), she says, and then puts it on a mouth: "Que me dejé ganar por esa boca tuya" (That I let myself be won over by that mouth of yours). Manuel Turizo sings the other half of it, and the song flips a single letter to make the point: the first chorus is "Mañana te vas con tu dueña" (Tomorrow you leave with your owner), the later one "Aunque te vas con tu dueño" (Even though you leave with your owner). Same complaint, both directions. The line doing the most work is the smallest one: "Contigo una noche dura un segundo" (With you a night lasts a second).

Por Cobarde (For Being a Coward)
Decime quién te pensas que sos
Reclamando mi corazón
Sos un problema y tengo la solución
No quiero nada que ver con vos (ey, ey, ey, ey)
tell me who you think you are
claiming my heart
You are a problem and I have the solution
I don't want anything to do with you (hey, hey, hey, hey)

Yami Safdie and Emanero's "Por Cobarde" is a super direct song about cutting ties with someone who's been controlling and demanding. The singer is totally over it, asking, "Decime quién te pensas que sos / Reclamando mi corazón" [Tell me who you think you are / Claiming my heart]. She makes it clear that this person is "un problema y tengo la solución" [a problem and I have the solution]: she wants nothing to do with them!

It's all about reclaiming independence. She sings, "Yo no soy tu propiedad y no estoy pa' tus necesidades" [I am not your property and I'm not here for your needs] and "No me gusta que controlen mi vida, eso no es mi estilo" [I don't like my life being controlled, that's not my style]. The title, "Por Cobarde" [Because you're a coward], comes in when she says, "Pasó tu turno y lo perdiste por cobarde" [Your turn passed and you lost it because you're a coward], implying he was too scared to step up and be an equal partner. Now, she's enjoying her freedom and doesn't have to explain anything to anyone. "Gozo la vida a mi manera" [I enjoy life my way] is such a great line!

De Nada (Remix) (You're Welcome (Remix))
Escuché que andas con él y que todo es perfecto
Que siempre te trata bien, un tipo muy atento
Qué bueno
Parece que lo eduqué muy bien
I heard that you're with him and everything is perfect
That he always treats you well, a very attentive guy
How good
It seems like I raised him well

De Nada (Remix) is Yami Safdie's sarcastic "you're welcome" to an ex-boyfriend. She hears he's become the perfect partner for his new girlfriend, treating her well and bringing her flowers, and her response is bittersweet mockery: she is the one who "raised" him into that man by enduring his worst moments first.

Throughout the song she reminds her ex (and his new partner) that she came first, went through the hard work of the relationship, and never got the reward she deserved. In this remix, featured artists Micro TDH and Rusherking pick up the same idea from the guy's side, singing about being replaced by someone new after everything he went through.

It's a breakup anthem about resentment and self-respect: instead of begging for the old relationship back, she claims credit for the person her ex became, and lets the sarcasm do the talking.
