Maybe this isn't the moment

To ask you if back then

You could forget me for so long

I saw a ring on your finger

So the conclusion is you marry at the end of August

And here I am

With the same expression

Sorry if I'm reckless

And in front of everyone

I confront you all of a sudden

How is it supposedly

Love expired

Without a contract between you and me

Like in the fairy tales

Our story was told

You were my Princess Diana

And I the king you loved so much

That example is fiction

But my love was real

And now for a second I drown

In the seas of reality

For a second I accept my defeat

I really lost you

And for a second I face my mourning

You're not with me anymore

And of course I feel the cold

Neither your soul nor your body are mine

My dreams are gone

You throw me into oblivion

Maybe this isn't the moment

To humiliate me, but in my subconscious

I'm aware it's too late

And I pause desire and illusion

Because you have a new owner

And here I am with the same expression

Sorry if I'm reckless

And in front of everyone

I confront you all of a sudden

How is it supposedly

Love ran out

Without a contract between you and me

Like in the fairy tales

Our story was told

You were my Princess Diana

And I the king you loved so much

That example is fiction

But my love was real

And now for a second I drown

In the seas of reality

For a second I accept my defeat

I really lost you

And for a second I face my mourning

You're not with me anymore

And of course I feel the cold

Neither your soul nor your body are mine

My dreams are gone

You cast me into oblivion, no

No no

Hey, what a feeling babe

Aventura, let's take it back

Remember, for a kiss

My little heart had an obsession

When will you come back?

Even little sis asked

Teach me to forget, if you still love me

I'll be your little angel even if the wedding's tomorrow

Yes sir

For a second I drown

In the seas of reality

For a second I accept my defeat

I really lost you

And for a second I face my mourning

You're not with me anymore

For a second I drown

In the seas of reality

ahogo — I drown / I suffocate

Ahogo comes from the verb ahogar, meaning 'to drown' or 'to suffocate'. It's a strong, evocative word that conveys intense emotional distress.

In "Por Un Segundo," the singer uses me ahogo (I drown myself) to express being overwhelmed by the harsh reality of losing his love. He sings, "Por un segundo me ahogo en los mares de la realidad," creating a vivid image of being submerged and suffocated by his sorrow and the truth of his defeat. This dramatic imagery makes the word particularly impactful.

Ever run into an ex and have your whole world stop for a moment? That's the heart-stopping feeling Aventura captures in "Por Un Segundo." The song tells the story of a man who sees his former love and notices an engagement ring on her finger. In that single, shocking second, he drowns "in the seas of reality" (en los mares de la realidad).

He's flooded with memories of their past romance, which he remembers as a perfect fairy tale where she was his "Princess Diana." But now, he has to accept his defeat and face the cold truth: he has lost her for good. He feels so overwhelmed that he confronts her right there in public, asking how their love could have just ended without a proper goodbye. It's a powerful bachata ballad about sudden heartbreak and the painful moment you realize the past is truly in the past.
