¿Cómo Pagarte? is Carlos Rivera’s heartfelt thank-you note set to music. After wandering through a maze of amores y desamores, the singer finally meets someone who heals the emptiness in his soul and replaces fear with joy. Over sweeping melodies, he marvels at this partner’s kindness—“Llegas a mí para sanarme… quitás mis miedos”—and feels overwhelmed by the urge to give something equally magnificent in return, even dreaming of plucking a star from the sky as a gift.
At its core, the song is a celebration of transformative love and deep gratitude. Rivera asks again and again, “¿Cómo he de pagarte por tanto amarme?”, admitting that no earthly gesture seems large enough. His repeated “Perdón” is not an apology for wrongdoing, but a humble acknowledgment that a lifetime may be too short to repay such boundless affection. The track invites listeners to reflect on their own cherished relationships and the beautiful impossibility of fully repaying true love.
