Verse 1

Look into my eyes because I feel you're different

I'm afraid of us

That this love has suddenly worn out

Remind me again when everything was new

The day that you fell in love

We said that ours would be eternal

Prechorus 1

Don't tell me that you're leaving today, please

That you're going to break my heart

Or: Because you'll shatter my heart

If you ask me to change I'll do what you ask me

It's human to commit more than one mistake

What does it cost you to give me your forgiveness?

Or: How hard is it for you to give me your forgiveness?

I swear that I won't bear your goodbye

Chorus 1

Although they say that there's no evil that lasted more than a hundred years

I wouldn't want to be the first idiot to test it

A love like ours you know that you don't see every day

A love like ours is worth saving

Check it out, my brother, listen, Carlitos

Cheers, partner, cheers

Mexico and Colombia

One heart, brother

Long live the hotties

Prechorus 2

Don't tell me that you're leaving today, please

That you're going to break my heart

If you want me to change I'll do what you ask me

It's human to commit more than one mistake

What does it cost you to give me your forgiveness?

Or: How hard is it for you to give me your forgiveness?

I swear that I won't bear your goodbye

Chorus 2

Although they say that there's no evil that lasted more than a hundred years

I wouldn't want to be the first idiot to test it

A love like ours you know that you don't see every day

A love like ours is worth saving

destrozar — to shatter / to tear apart

Destrozar literally means "to shatter" or "to tear apart".

In the song, Carlos Rivera pleads "me vas a destrozar el corazón" (“you’re going to shatter my heart”), using this vivid verb to convey deep emotional pain. Its dramatic imagery and strong consonant sound make it memorable—perfect for learners who want a striking new word that goes beyond everyday vocabulary.

This song is one big, dramatic plea to save a relationship that's about to end. The singer, Carlos Rivera, feels his partner pulling away and gets straight to the point: "Tengo miedo de nosotros / Que este amor se haya gastado de repente" (I'm scared for us / That this love has suddenly worn out). He begs her not to leave, promising he'll change and do anything she asks. He reminds her that they once said their love would be eternal, arguing that what they have is special and "vale la pena salvarlo" (is worth saving).

The most clever part is how he uses a famous saying for the song's title. The proverb goes, "no hay mal que dure cien años" (no evil lasts a hundred years), meaning all bad things eventually pass. But he twists it, telling his partner he doesn't want to be the first person to prove that wrong by losing her. It's a desperate, almost funny line: "No quisiera ser el primer idiota en comprobarlo" (I wouldn't want to be the first idiot to prove it). This collaboration between Mexico's Carlos Rivera and Colombia's Maluma is a heartfelt, last-ditch effort to win back love.
