Verse 1

It's five o'clock in the morning

And I haven't slept at all

Or: And I haven't slept a wink

Thinking about your beauty

I'm going to end up crazy

The insomnia is my punishment

Your love will be my relief

And until you're mine

I won't live in peace

I knew your boyfriend well

Small and not good-looking

And I know that he doesn't love you

By the way he speaks

Besides, you don't love him

Because he doesn't measure up

'Dar la talla' = to be up to par, to measure up, to make the cut

He doesn't know how to please you

Like I would

But I'll be patient

Lit: But I'll have patience

Because he's not competition

That's why there are no reasons

For me to respect

For me to respect (him / your relationship with him)

Chorus 1

No, it's not love

What you feel

It's called obsession

An illusion in your thinking

Or: An illusion in your mind

That makes you do things

That's how the heart works

Verse 2

Well dressed and in my Lexus

I passed by your school

Or: I drove by your school / college

They inform me that you left

Or: They tell me that you left

Like a madman I went to reach you

Or: Like crazy, I chased after you

I looked for you and wasn't finding you

Or: I looked for you and couldn't find you

And that was worrying me

Or: And that worried me

To calm my anxiety

I wanted to call you

But I didn't have your number

And your friend already denied it to me

Being handsome helped me a lot

That brought me the solution

Or: That gave me the solution

I know that she liked me

And I gave her a look

With a couple of words

Or: With a few little words

She gave me your number

I was calling your cell phone

Or: I called your phone

And you weren't answering

Or: And you didn't answer

Then I paged you

And there was no connection

My only hope

It's that you hear my words

I can't, I have a boyfriend

Don't hang up on me please

Informal slang way of saying this

Chorus 2

No, it's not love

Please listen to me

What you feel

It's called obsession

An illusion

I'm losing control

In your thought

Or: In your mind

That makes you do things

That's how the heart works

Verse 3

My love please don't hang up on me

Wait there's more

I made an appointment with the psychiatrist

To see if he was helping me

To see if he would help me

Well, I don't have friends anymore

Because of only talking about you

What I want is to talk to you

To try to kiss you

Could it be possible that from obsession one can die

Maybe you think that I'm foolish

Presumptuous and also crazy

But it's that in love

I'm very original

I fall in love like others

Or: I make fall in love like others

I conquer in my way

I conquer in my (own) way

To love is my talent

I'm going to make you fall in love

Sorry if I offend you

But it's because I'm honest

With the luxury of details

Meaning: With every detail laid out

Listen to my version

Pure chocolate cream

Pick you up and devour you

To take you to another world

In your mind, sweetheart

Or: In your mind, my love

Come live an adventure

Let's do a thousand crazy things

I'm going to do caresses

Or: I'll give you caresses

That haven't been invented

Outro

It's not love, it's not love

It's an obsession

It's not love, it's not love

It's an obsession

It's not love, it's not love

It's an obsession

It's not love, it's not love

It's an obsession

SONG MEANING

"Obsesión" whisks you into a late-night whirlwind where bachata guitars sway to the frantic heartbeat of a sleepless admirer. At 5 a.m. he is still replaying the image of a classmate whose current boyfriend, in his eyes, is “no competition.” What begins as a harmless crush snowballs into full-blown fixation: he waits outside her school in a flashy Lexus, sweet-talks a friend for her number, and even books a psychiatrist when the obsession starts costing him friends. Throughout the song a chant-like chorus reminds both him and us that esto no es amor—this is not love but a one-sided illusion that can drive anyone to outrageous lengths.

Aventura’s catchy blend of Dominican bachata and New York urban flair turns this cautionary tale into a dance-floor favorite. Romeo Santos’s pleading vocals and Judy Santos’s delicate responses create a playful back-and-forth, yet the lyrics leave a clear message: passion without boundaries can morph into something unhealthy. So while the rhythm invites you to sway, the story nudges you to ask—are those butterflies in your stomach, or is it just an obsesión?
