Cobarde means "coward". It's a strong word used to describe someone who lacks bravery, especially when facing a difficult or dangerous situation.
In this raw and honest song, Bad Bunny calls himself a cobarde. He sings, "Ya sé que soy un cobarde" (I already know I'm a coward), as he explains his decision to leave a relationship to avoid causing more pain. This vulnerable confession is central to the song's story of heartbreak and regret, making it a very powerful word to learn.
This song has one of the most surprising intros ever: it's a scene from The Simpsons! Marge is upset with Homer for ignoring his family to stare at his phone. She warns him, "Algún día Homero Simpson / Levantarás la vista de ese teléfono y nos habremos ido" [One day Homer Simpson / You'll look up from that phone and we'll be gone]. This little cartoon drama perfectly introduces the song's real subject: a guy who has ruined his relationship through his own neglect.
Bad Bunny then comes in with a brutally honest breakup song. He's not trying to win his partner back. Instead, he's admitting he's the problem. He calls himself a "cabrón" [jerk] and says, "Yo sé que fui lo peor / Y tú mereces ser feliz" [I know I was the worst / And you deserve to be happy]. He knows he's a "cobarde" [coward] for leaving, but he feels it's the only way to stop hurting her. It's a song about taking full responsibility for your mistakes and wishing someone well, even if it means letting them go for good.
