1. Te Felicito (I Congratulate You)
Shakira, Rauw Alejandro
Por completarte me rompí en pedazos

They warned me, but I ignored
I realized that yours is false
It was the drop that overflowed the glass

They've been dyed and now I can't see them
They camouflage like the white of zebras
That at night you don't see
