I send you black hearts

Because although I love you, I think that I can no longer

Oh, I send you black hearts

To avoid telling you how I feel

I know it hurts, but it had to be done

Without more words, and to put a stop to it

So I send black hearts

To see if you understand that there is no fix

I swear I thought we were going to be too

Together until the end, together until the end

And now what does it matter

I also thought this would hold

But our reality was stronger than the desire

I also thought, I also dreamed

And I bet without seeing, how was I to know that it was going to hurt you

I also thought that we were going to be

Together at the end, together until the end

Until the end

I send you black hearts

Because although I love you, I think that I can no longer

Oh, I send you black hearts

To avoid telling you how I feel

I know it hurts, but it had to be done

Without more words, and to put a stop to it

So I send black hearts

To see if you understand that there is no fix

I want to remove salt from your wounds

It's not compassion, it's cowardice

We were more than company, like a thousand days

But I'm going to look at you, I don't think

How it was before, I don't think

To stay, I don't think

I don't believe, I don't believe

Let's just be friends, friends

Without you being ambiguous with me

I do it because I dare not

To give you wings for flight

When I already know that I don't want to

I don't believe, I don't believe

I also thought that we were going to be

Together until the end, together until the end

And now what does it matter

I also thought this would hold

But our reality was stronger than the desire

I also thought, I also dreamed

And I bet without seeing, how was I to know that it was going to hurt you

I also thought that we were going to be

Together until the end, together until the end

I send you black hearts

Because although I love you, I think that I can no longer

Oh, I send you black hearts

To avoid telling you how I feel

I know it hurts, but it had to be done

Without more words, and to put a stop to it

So I send black hearts

To see if you understand that there is no fix, no

cobardía — cowardice

Cobardía translates to "cowardice." It's a strong and emotionally charged word that isn't commonly found in every pop song, making it stand out.

In "Corazones Negros," the singer uses this word to confess a difficult truth: "Quiero quitarle sal a tus heridas / No es compasión, es cobardía." This line reveals that their desire to alleviate the other person's pain isn't out of pure compassion, but rather a form of cowardice, perhaps to avoid facing the full emotional impact of the breakup or their own role in it. This raw honesty makes the word particularly impactful.

Have you ever been in that tough spot where you know a relationship has to end, even if you still have feelings for the person? That's exactly what Elsa y Elmar explores in "Corazones Negros." It's all about the painful decision to break up, even when love is still there, because reality just got in the way.

The singer is sending "corazones negros" [black hearts] as a blunt, honest way to communicate the end. She's trying to avoid saying what she truly feels directly, because she knows it will hurt, but it's something that "había que hacerlo" [had to be done]. She admits, "Juro que yo también pensé que íbamos a estar juntos hasta el final" [I swear I also thought we were going to be together until the end], but ultimately, "pudo más nuestra realidad que las ganas" [our reality was stronger than our desires]. It's a really relatable feeling of hoping for forever but facing the truth that it just isn't going to work out.
