Verse 1

If by some twist of fate

Or: If by fate's doing

One day you and I say goodbye

I don't know what I'd eat

Or what I'd laugh about

Because I can't imagine the world without you

If by life's twists and turns

Or: If by life's circumstances

The man you finally deserve comes along

And if he is your soulmate

I’ll step aside, even if it hurts

And I'd even give him two or three pieces of advice

Perchorus 1

Don't worry about me

I would manage

Or: I would manage on my own / I'd get by

To switch my head for one that isn't mine

And not think about you, not think about you anymore

Chorus 1

And even if they give you twice as many caresses

And three times the kisses I gave you

And even if they give you twenty one roses a day

And say a thousand times that they'd die for you

Oh, if they give you all that, I take my hat off

But nobody is going to love you even half as much as I love you

Prechorus 2

Don't worry about me

I would manage

To switch my head for one that isn't mine

And not think about you, not think about you anymore

Chorus 2

And even if they give you twice as many caresses

And three times the kisses I gave you

And even if they give you twenty one roses a day

And say a thousand times that they'd die for you

Oh, if they give you all that, I take my hat off

But nobody is going to love you even half as much as I love you

As much as I love you

Did you like this lyrics translation?

me quito el sombrero — I take my hat off

Me quito el sombrero literally translates to 'I take my hat off'. This classic idiom is a sign of great respect and admiration, similar to the English expression 'hats off to you'.

In the song, Camilo uses this phrase to express a deep, selfless love. He says that if a new person can love his partner even more than he does, he will 'take his hat off' to them and gracefully step aside, showing that true love is wanting the best for the other person.

This song from Colombian artist Camilo is a huge declaration of love, but it starts in a surprising place: a hypothetical breakup. He imagines what would happen if "por cosas del destino" (for reasons of destiny) they had to say goodbye. He says he would be so lost, he wouldn't even know what to eat or laugh at. In a very dramatic and selfless move, he says that if his partner's true soulmate came along, he would step aside, even if it hurt him: "Yo me quito aunque me duela" (I'll step aside even if it hurts).

But here's the twist. He tells her not to worry about him, joking that he'd find a way to switch his head for a new one so he could stop thinking about her. The chorus is a challenge to this imaginary new person. Even if someone else gives her double the affection, triple the kisses, and twenty-one roses a day, Camilo says he would tip his hat to them, but he makes one final, confident claim: "Pero nadie va a quererte la mitad de lo que yo a ti te quiero" (But nobody is going to love you half as much as I love you). It's the ultimate statement of how deep and unmatched he believes his love is.
