Verse 1

I swear that I feel that the options are already running out

And to break up with you today I have plenty of reasons

But let me that I leave for a while

And I know that maybe it's the routine that puts us in checkmate

But before habit is the one that beats us in this fight

Just let me that I leave for a while

Chorus 1

It might be that we love each other like crazy again

That we miss each other, we need each other

Or on the contrary, that this goodbye is forever

What I suggest is that we try it

That we lose nothing

And maybe we fall in love

Verse 2

Before that this love turns into hate

Before that we don't want to be a couple anymore

We need a break, obviously

Nobody has died, this isn't a wake

It's not a 'See you never', it's a 'See you later'

If we want to grow old

Let's not let the ego be the one that kills us

You're here, I feel you far away

And it's not a 'See you never', it's a 'See you later'

If we want to grow old

Oh, let's not let the ego be the one that kills us

That it's not a game

Chorus 2

It might be that we love each other like crazy again

That we miss each other, we need each other

Or on the contrary, that this goodbye is forever

What I suggest is that we try it

That we lose nothing

velorio — wake / funeral vigil

Velorio translates to "wake" or "funeral vigil". It's a powerful and somewhat rare word to find in a pop song, making it instantly memorable.

In the lyrics, the singer uses it to emphasize the gravity of the situation while also offering hope: "Nadie ha muerto, esto no es un velorio" (No one has died, this isn't a wake). This line dramatically conveys that while the relationship is in crisis and needs a break, it's not over yet, creating a vivid image of a relationship on the brink but not at its end.

Un Tiempo invites us into the heartfelt conversation of a couple who feel their relationship slipping into routine. With emotions running high, the singer suggests hitting the pause button before love turns into resentment. It is not a dramatic breakup, but rather a strategic timeout: “No es un ‘Hasta nunca’, es un ‘Hasta luego’.” By asking for a break, they hope distance will either reignite the spark or gently confirm that moving on is best.

At its core, the song explores the courage it takes to protect love from ego and monotony. Instead of clinging to a romance on autopilot, Cali y El Dandee champion an honest reset—because “nothing is lost” by trying. Listeners are reminded that sometimes stepping back is the bravest way to move forward, whether it leads to falling madly in love again or saying goodbye for good.
