That's the thing

In the darkness you were the light

that illuminated me

I just laughed

and there you kissed me

Destiny brought us together

but I couldn't see

you loved me back

and I didn't know what to do

I regret it, my love

I must admit

I regret it, my love

I am not like that, woh-oh

Babe, move over here

In the darkness you were the light

that illuminated me

I just laughed

and there you kissed me

Destiny brought us together

but I couldn't see

you loved me back

and I didn't know what to do

I regret it, my love

I must admit

of your tenderness

and your simplicity

I regret it, my love

I am not like that

and I admit

that I'm dying for you

I regret it, my love

I must admit

because I shouldn't

because I can't

I can't live

I regret it, my love

I am not like that

without appreciating that tenderness

and there's no doubt about your feelings

I bet you won't grab it, grab it

Boom, boom, ka-ta-boom, get up

Row it, softly, so it doesn't sink

No no, don't let it sink

That's the thing

I regret it, my love

I must admit

that you loved me

and I couldn't understand

I regret it, my love

I am not like that

and I promise you

that I'll be for you

I regret it, my love

I must admit

that from now on

I will value you

I regret it, my love

I am not like that

and I will go on all my life

my life

loving you

Babe, move over here

I regret it

Me arrepiento — I regret it

Me arrepiento translates to "I regret it" or "I repent." It's a strong phrase that conveys deep remorse and reflection.

In Elvis Crespo's song, this phrase is central to the narrative. The singer repeatedly expresses regret for not recognizing or appreciating his lover's feelings and presence when he had the chance. It's a powerful emotional anchor for the song, making it a memorable and relatable expression of remorse.

"Me Arrepiento" ("I Regret It") is Elvis Crespo's confession of a love he let slip away. He opens by admitting his partner "eras la luz" [you were the light] that guided him through a hard stretch, but he "no supe ver" [didn't know how to see it] and let her devotion pass him by — "tú me correspondías, y no supe que hacer" [you were there for me, and I didn't know what to do].

The chorus is the regret itself: "Me arrepiento mi amor, debo reconocer... sin apreciar esa ternura" [I regret it, my love, I have to admit... without appreciating that tenderness]. By the final verses he turns the regret into a promise, telling her "Y te prometo que seré para ti" [And I promise I'll be there for you] and "yo te valoraré" [I will value you] — the classic merengue turn from heartbreak to redemption, set to one of Crespo's driving, horn-led grooves.
