I no longer miss you, you hurt me at times

It's different and precisely

You hurt me sometimes when I remember

That I gave you more and you were indifferent

I believed you

That your heart was broken

And it wasn't broken, it was empty

And foolishly, stubbornly

I wanted to complete it with mine

Even knowing that there were

Only ruins of a noble heart left

That so much disappointment

Left it without hope

And if we talk about disappointments

Yours, I think, has been the strongest

To such an extent

That I was almost on the verge of death

Even knowing that there were

Only ruins of a noble heart left

That so much disappointment

Left it without hope

And if we talk about disappointments

Yours, I think, has been the strongest

To such an extent

That I was almost on the verge of death

But in peace without you

completarlo — to complete it

Completarlo means “to complete it,” with -lo referring to something masculine, here the other person’s heart. In the song, he says he foolishly wanted to fill or make whole a heart that was not broken, but completely empty, giving the verb a poignant emotional meaning.

Alejandro Fernández and Calibre 50 open this one with a line that flips the usual breakup song: "Ya no te extraño, me dueles a ratos" (I no longer miss you, you hurt me at times). The singer is past missing her. What is left is a sting that comes back now and then, mostly "al recordar" (when I remember) how much he gave while she stayed "indiferente" (indifferent).

The heart of the song is one sharp image. He believed "que estaba roto tu corazón" (that your heart was broken), and then found out "no estaba roto, estaba vacío" (it wasn't broken, it was empty). He calls himself "de tonto, terco" (foolish, stubborn) for trying to fill it with his own. In the chorus he ranks her as the worst disappointment of all, one that left him "casi al borde de la muerte" (almost on the verge of death). The last line lands quietly: "Pero en paz sin ti" (But at peace without you).
