Lo Estoy Pagando Lyrics in English by Jessi Uribe, José Luis Garcia
Capricho translates to "whim" or "caprice." It describes a sudden, impulsive desire or a frivolous fancy, often implying a lack of serious thought or commitment.
In "Lo Estoy Pagando," the singer emphasizes, "Y lo mío no fue ningún capricho" (And what I felt was no whim). This highlights the depth and sincerity of his love, contrasting it with a fleeting, superficial desire, making it a key word to understand his emotional state in the song.
Jessi Uribe and José Luis Garcia bring us a classic tale of regret in "Lo Estoy Pagando" [I'm Paying For It]. Our singer is really going through it, wondering aloud, "¿Qué te hice yo Pa' merecerme tu castigo?" [What did I do to deserve your punishment?]. He's clearly been wronged, feeling betrayed and used, especially since he gave his all: "no hubiera dado Ni una pizca de mi amor" [I wouldn't have given even a bit of my love] if he'd known it was just a game.
He's not just heartbroken over the new person, though. The real sting comes from realizing he messed up big time by leaving someone who truly loved him. "Dejé a una gran persona Que me ama y que me adora Por tu cochino corazón" [I left a great person who loves and adores me for your filthy heart] pretty much sums it up. Now he's "pagando" [paying] for that mistake, wishing the person who hurt him would suffer just as much. It's a raw, emotional look at the consequences of chasing a bad love.
