Repetíamos Lyrics in English by Abraham Mateo
Pendejo is a strong, colloquial term that can mean 'idiot', 'jerk', or 'asshole' depending on the context and region. It's a word with a bit of an edge, making it memorable and impactful.
In the song, the artist sings, "Qué triste es mirar al espejo y verme tan solo un pendejo con un disfraz de soltero." Here, he uses it to express deep self-pity and regret, feeling like a fool or a pathetic figure now that he's alone and pretending to be a carefree bachelor. This raw emotion makes the word particularly striking in the lyrics.
Abraham Mateo's "Repetíamos" is a super relatable song about being stuck in the past after a breakup. He's clearly going through it, constantly thinking about his ex. He sings, "Le doy vueltas a que ya no estás aquí" [I keep thinking that you're no longer here] and even admits, "Ya me sé de memoria hasta tus fotos del ig" [I already know your Instagram photos by heart] – we've all been there, right?
The whole song is a loop of memories, especially about their physical connection and promises. He keeps repeating, "De cómo en la cama repetíamos / De to'a' las cosas que nos prometíamo' / De cómo nos quemábamos y nos comíamos" [Of how we repeated in bed / Of all the things we promised each other / Of how we burned and devoured each other]. He's trying to move on, going "del agua al café, del café pa'l alcohol" [from water to coffee, from coffee to alcohol], but nothing helps. He even calls himself "tan solo un pendejo / Con un disfraz de soltero" [just an idiot / In a bachelor's disguise] because he can't forget her. It's a raw look at how hard it is to let go when you're still so caught up in what used to be.
