Verse 1

Today I got up thinking about you more than yesterday

It's crazy that time has passed and I'm still where you left me

You could make your life in another place

Or: You were able to live your life somewhere else

And I can't find who takes your place

Or: And I can't find someone to take your place

What waste to remember you

Prechorus 1

There's no formula to forget your kisses

Nor an equation that the result leads to that

As much as I add and multiply, it gives me less

Now that you left, please don't go far

Or: Now that you're gone, please don't go far away

Chorus 1

In case you want to return

Here I'll wait for you

Or: I'm going to wait for you here

In case you want to return

Here I'll wait for you

Verse 2

And although you caught wings

Or: And even though you took flight

I know that what I say to you doesn't slide off

Or: I know what I say means something to you

You may like him, but you love me

Or: It can be that him you like, but me, you love me

And here I kept your place

And I keep the same number in case someday you call me

Think about it

The kisses and the hugs there in New York

In midwinter, but they gave you warmth

Or: In the dead of winter, but they kept you warm

Same as me

Just like me

You carried it all in your heart

Easy, quickly you got a replacement

And suddenly you found a clown

You already know how I am

Also where to find me, just in case

Prechorus 2

There's no formula to forget your kisses

Nor an equation that the result leads to that

As much as I add and multiply, it gives me less

Now that you left, please don't go far

Chorus 2

In case you want to return

Here I'll wait for you

In case you want to return

Here I'll wait for you

The party started, babe, miss, lady

Bridge

Look, the hours are passing

Surely tonight she falls in love

Right there I run

I spend my savings

I call Marc to sing at the wedding

Chorus 3

In case you want to return

Here I'll wait for you

In case you want to return

Here I'll wait for you

This goes on, attack Sergio

Outro 1

There's no formula to forget your kisses

Now that you left, don't go far

Or: Now that you're gone, don't go far away

There's no formula to forget your kisses

Now that you left, don't go far

Outro 2

There's no formula to forget your kisses

Now that you left, don't go far

There's no formula to forget your kisses

Now that you left, don't go far

fórmula — formula

Fórmula literally translates to "formula", like a rule or method for solving a problem. It's an interesting and intellectual word to find in a song about heartbreak.

Maluma uses it to create a powerful metaphor. He sings, "No hay una fórmula para olvidar tus besos" (There's no formula to forget your kisses), expressing his frustration that there's no logical, step-by-step recipe to get over someone. This clever twist makes it a really memorable word to learn.

Ever been so stuck on an ex that it feels like a math problem you just can't solve? That's exactly where Colombian superstar Maluma finds himself in this track. He wakes up thinking about his former love even more than yesterday, complaining, "No hay una fórmula para olvidar tus besos" (There's no formula to forget your kisses). He feels like no matter what he does, he's losing: "Por más que sume y multiplique, me da menos" (The more I add and multiply, the less I get).

Even though she's moved on and found a new guy (who he cheekily calls "un payaso" [a clown]), he's convinced she still loves him more. He's not subtle about it, keeping his old phone number and saving her spot, just in case. He begs her, "Ya que te fuiste, por fa', no te vayas lejos" (Since you left, please, don't go far away), making it clear he's waiting for her to come back. It's a classic tale of heartbreak, but with a hopeful, danceable beat that makes you want to root for him.
