Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Pesadilla by Camilo from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

You should've seen how I was crying for you

Last night that I felt that I was losing you

I saw when another guy was kissing you

And you can't imagine how much that hurt

I remember how the guy was looking at you

And then he laughed like a fool

The jealousy that hit me was killing me

And that's even though I didn't hear what they were saying

Chorus 1

Good thing that it was all a nightmare

That you're still mine, and that I've got you, little one

Chorus 1

To grab that little mouth and to press it against mine

Today I'm going to throw a party

The one that I hadn't thrown in so long

Chorus 1

And that my friends come

Chorus 2

With their cousins, with their aunts

To drink some cold ones

Chorus 2

And if in the middle of the night someone falls asleep

And they run into that guy who shows up in my dreams

Tell him that many thanks and that he should come back another day

Because I think that he didn't know that my babe

Not even in dreams do they take her from me

Give me a tequila, a coffee, or I don't know

So I don't fall asleep

That I already trained with Canelo

And if I fall asleep

I'm going to fight for what's mine

And if at work they ask

Why I haven't come back

It's because I'm celebrating

That you're with me

Good thing that it was all a nightmare

That you're still mine, and that I've got you, little one

To grab that little mouth and to press it against mine

Today I'm going to throw a party

The one that I hadn't thrown in so long

And that my friends come

With their cousins, with their aunts

To drink some cold ones

And if in the middle of the night someone falls asleep

And they run into that guy who shows up in my dreams

Tell him that many thanks and that he should come back another day

Because I think that he didn't know that my babe

Not even in dreams do they take her from me

SONG MEANING

“Pesadilla” (Spanish for Nightmare) is Camilo’s playful confession of jealousy and relief. In a vivid dream, he watches another man steal a kiss from his girlfriend, and the pain feels all too real. He wakes up sweating, angry, and ready to fight for his love… only to realize it was just a nightmare. That discovery flips his panic into pure joy, and he decides to throw a lively party to celebrate that his “baby” is still his.

Through catchy rhythms and witty lyrics, Camilo mixes drama with humor: tequila to stay awake, name-dropping boxer Canelo as if gearing up for a dream-world showdown, and rallying friends, cousins, and even aunts for an all-night fiesta. The message is simple and sweet—even in his wildest dreams, no one can take her away.
