Verse 1
You talk about love as if you knew
What happened when I fell in love
Or: What I went through when I fell in love
We can't trust anyone
Or: We can't confide in just anyone
Not all the world knows how to love
Or: Not everyone knows how to love
You can't get carried away
Or: You can't let yourself get carried away
Be careful with decisions
Not everyone has good intentions
There is falsehood in hearts
People that leave without giving reasons
If you're willing to love
You can't always trust
Don't get carried away
Everything can change
Chorus 1
If you want love, you have to understand how to love
If you want love, they have to love each other outside of the bed
If you want love, they have to wake up with the same desire
If you want love, if you want love
Verse 2
Love is a balance
Or: Love is like the scales
The first that gets tired loses
If you want to run the chance
Or: If you want to take the chance
If you get hurt, you can't take revenge
What you deserve
You have to know what you deserve
Continue loving equally even if the months pass
Although it hurts sometimes
What you deserve
You have to know what you deserve
Continue loving equally even if the months pass
Although it hurts sometimes
Chorus 2
If you want love, you have to understand how to love
If you want love, they have to love each other outside of the bed
If you want love, they have to wake up with the same desire
If you want love, if you want love

chanzachance / risk

Chanza translates to 'chance' or 'risk', but it's not an everyday word you hear in every song. It carries a slightly more informal and intriguing nuance than just 'oportunidad'.

In the context of the song, Jay Wheeler sings, "Si tú quieres correr la chanza" (If you want to take the chance/risk). He uses it to emphasize the inherent risks and vulnerabilities involved in pursuing love, making it a compelling word that invites listeners to consider the deeper meaning of commitment and potential heartbreak.

Jay Wheeler isn't playing around with love in this song. He's basically giving a masterclass on what real love is, and it sounds like he learned it the hard way. He starts by telling someone, "Hablas de amor como si tú supieras" (You talk about love as if you knew), making it clear he's seen the bad side. The song is a big warning sign: be careful who you trust because "No todos tienen buenas intenciones" (Not everyone has good intentions) and some people will leave without any explanation at all.

So what's the solution? According to Jay Wheeler, if you want real love, it has to be more than just physical. He's very direct about this: "Si quieres amor, tienen que amarse fuera de la cama" (If you want love, you have to love each other outside of bed). He sees love as a balance where the first person to get tired loses. The most important rule seems to be knowing your own value. He repeats it like a mantra: "Tienes que saber lo que mereces" (You have to know what you deserve), even when love hurts.
