Afortunado means 'fortunate' or 'lucky'. It's a positive and engaging word that isn't as common as basic adjectives, making it stand out.
In the song, Elvis Martinez sings, "Estan frustrados porque no son afortunado en el amor como Tu & Yo" (They are frustrated because they are not as fortunate in love as you and I). This word highlights the central theme of the song: the couple's unique and enviable luck in love, despite what others might say or do.
In this passionate bachata, Elvis Martinez sings about a love that defies gossip and public judgment. He urges his partner to show their affection openly, asking, "Si en verdad me amas / BĂ©same delante la gente" (If you really love me / Kiss me in front of people). He feels that the people watching them are just trying to make them suffer and that their opinions don't matter because "Ellos no nos mantienen" (They don't support us).
The song's central message is a powerful statement against nosy neighbors and jealous onlookers. Martinez calls them "Lleva vida" (a Dominican term for nosy people) and suggests they are simply "frustrados / Porque no son afortunado en el amor / Como Tu & Yo" (frustrated / Because they are not lucky in love / Like you and I). He reassures his lover that their bond is stronger than any gossip, and they shouldn't be afraid to express the fiery passion they feel for each other.
