El Perdón Lyrics in English by Nicky Jam, Enrique Iglesias

Juré is the past tense of the verb jurar, which means "to swear" an oath or "to vow". It's a powerful word that conveys a deep and serious promise.

In the song, Nicky Jam sings, "Yo te juré a ti este eterno amor" (I swore to you this eternal love). This one word heightens the drama of the story, transforming a simple promise into a sacred vow that has now been broken, adding weight to his plea for forgiveness.

This song is pure drama, and that's why it's so good. Nicky Jam kicks things off by hearing a terrible rumor: "Me dijeron que te estas casando" (They told me you're getting married). He's completely falling apart, admitting "Tú no sabes lo que estoy sufriendo" (You don't know what I'm suffering). He imagines her new guy is perfect, maybe someone who "te llevó a la luna" (took you to the moon) in a way he couldn't. His reaction is to hit the streets, "gritando / Como un loco tomando" (shouting / like a crazy person, drinking). It's a desperate, last-ditch effort to win her back.

The chorus is the heart of his argument: "Es que yo sin ti, y tú sin mí / Dime quién puede ser feliz" (It's just that me without you, and you without me / Tell me who can be happy). He's convinced they belong together, even if her father never approved of their relationship. He believes he's still in her heart and is begging for forgiveness, "perdón", to fix what he broke. The whole song is basically him showing up at the last minute to stop the wedding, convinced that what they had is worth fighting for.
