Disparo Al Corazón Lyrics in English Ricky Martin

Home / Lyrics Translation / Ricky Martin / Disparo Al Corazón

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Disparo Al Corazón by Ricky Martin from Spanish to English.

Here goes my confession

Before you I wasn't a saint

I've sinned, no doubt

But that's a thing of the past

Since that you arrived

You tossed the coin into the air

Whether it was heads or tails

You won either way

Meeting you was a shot to the heart

You attacked me with a cold-blooded kiss

And I knew

That the wound that it caused was so lethal

That this crazy adventurer was dying

And that day began

So much love with a shot to the heart

How many nights of passion?

How many mornings so empty?

One mistake after another mistake

In these sheets so cold

Since that you arrived

You tossed the coin into the air

Whether it was heads or tails

You won either way

Meeting you was a shot to the heart

You attacked me with a cold-blooded kiss

And I knew

That the wound that it caused was so lethal

That this crazy adventurer was dying

And that day began

So much love with a shot to the heart

I didn't understand how that happened

With the skill

Of a good sniper

Each one of your bullets

Hit me in the soul

Meeting you was a shot to the heart

You attacked me with a cold-blooded kiss

And I knew

That the wound that it caused was so lethal

That this crazy adventurer was dying

And that day began

So much love with a shot to the heart

francotirador — sniper

Francotirador literally translates to "sniper". It's a dramatic and unexpected word to find in a romantic ballad, which is what makes it so memorable.

Ricky Martin uses this as a powerful metaphor, singing that his new love has the "destreza de un buen francotirador" (the skill of a good sniper). This creates a vivid image of being struck by love with sudden and perfect precision, as if hit by a bullet right in the soul.

Ricky Martin’s “Disparo Al Corazón” is a love story told in the language of duels, bullets and lucky coin tosses. The narrator opens with a heartfelt confession: before this new romance he was far from perfect, stumbling through passion-filled nights that left him feeling empty by morning. Everything shifts when his partner arrives and flips a coin on their future; whether it lands heads or tails, she wins his heart either way. One electrifying kiss hits him “a sangre fría” (cold-blooded), and the wound is so powerful that the once fearless “aventurero” realizes love can be both lethal and life-giving at the same time.

The repeated image of a sniper’s bullet captures how sudden and precise love can feel. Each “bala” (bullet) sinks straight into his soul, marking the exact moment his reckless past ends and a deeper, committed affection begins. Ultimately, the song celebrates the breathtaking surprise of being struck by a love so intense it feels like a shot to the heart—yet instead of ending him, it starts “tanto amor” (so much love) that he is completely reborn.
