Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Alguien Me Gusta by Jhonny Rivera from Spanish to English.

I like someone, but I can't tell them

They have a life built that I can't destroy

I would like to tell them

That ignoring her was impossible

And that it hurts me that, without being able to have her, I have to say goodbye

I know a thousand ways to make you fall in love

But what I feel I have to keep to myself

And my conscience stops me from getting close

Yeah yeah

When I'm drunk I get a feeling

That if I call you, you'll come running

With one more drink, I'd dare to call

If you come I won't be responsible, no

Pass me the bottle and I'll drink it to the bottom

And if you come I won't be responsible, no

If another bottle comes, I'll drink it to the bottom

And when there's not even one glass left

I'm going to say what I never told you

Even though you got engaged to another

For me he doesn't exist

In my mind you're mine and nobody else's

And Andy Rivera

Repeat it

Rafa

I know a thousand ways to make you fall in love

But what I feel I have to keep to myself

And my conscience stops me from getting close

Yeah yeah

When I'm drunk I get a feeling

That if I call you, you'll come running

With one more drink, I'd dare to call

If you come I won't be responsible, no

Pass me the bottle, I'll drink it to the bottom

And if you come I won't be responsible, no

If another bottle comes, I'll drink it to the bottom

And when there's not even one glass left

I'm going to say what I never told you

Even though you got engaged to another

For me he doesn't exist

In my mind you're mine and nobody else's

I like someone, but I can't tell them

presentimiento — hunch / premonition

Presentimiento translates to "hunch" or "premonition." It's a word that evokes a sense of mystery and anticipation, suggesting an intuitive feeling about a future event.

In the song, the singer admits, "Cuando estoy borracho me da un presentimiento / Que si te llamo tú vendrás corriendo" (When I'm drunk, I get a hunch / That if I call you, you'll come running). This word is interesting because it highlights the internal conflict and the impulsive thoughts fueled by alcohol, making it a key moment in the narrative of unexpressed desire.

In "Alguien Me Gusta", Colombian icon Jhonny Rivera teams up with Andy Rivera and Jessi Uribe to pour out the bittersweet confession of a man who has fallen for someone who is already taken. He knows “mil maneras para enamorarte” yet keeps his feelings locked away, terrified of wrecking the life she has built. The song’s upbeat, party-ready vallenato and banda blend hides a tug-of-war between desire and conscience, making every accordion lick sound like a heart skipping a beat.

As the night deepens and the bottles empty, liquid courage whispers that one call could change everything. The narrator imagines her rushing to him, vows he would be powerless to resist, and admits that in his mind she is “mía y de nadie más.” It is a raw snapshot of love stuck in the friend zone, fueled by alcohol, regret, and impossible longing. Whether you’re dancing or day-dreaming, the song reminds us how easily passion can blur the line between right and wrong.
