EL REY DE LO IMPERFECTO Lyrics in English Daddy Yankee

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song EL REY DE LO IMPERFECTO by Daddy Yankee from Spanish to English.
I wish that you'd see me the same, with no defects
You're perfect for me and I'm the king of imperfection
And if loving is dying, I want to keep dying
I'm more yours than mine, that's why I'm losing
And if loving is dying, on your lips I die
I'm more yours than mine, that's why I'm losing
Sometimes you call me with that drama
But I'm tolerant and I don't say anything
Every time I say something you complain
How can one control fire, if you're flame?
If you ask me for the sky, I'll give you the clouds
If I ask you for a change, you don't go down or up
I don't ask that you help me, it's that you help yourself
If you want this to last, don't doubt me
Babe, I wish that you'd see me the same, with no defects
You're perfect for me and I'm the king of imperfection
I wish that you'd value what I do for you
Maybe someday I'll leave here
And if loving is dying, I want to keep dying
I'm more yours than mine, that's why I'm losing
And if loving is dying, on your lips I die
I'm more yours than mine, that's why I'm losing
There's no secrets in life, they're hidden truths
Who lies at the entrance doesn't find the exit
I confess that it's my fault
I didn't know that, to please you, I'd lose my identity
Hey, be honest
When will the day come that you surrender with the flag?
And don't be first, second, and third
We have to tie, or we both lose the race
I wish that you'd see me the same, with no defects
You're perfect for me and I'm the king of imperfection
I wish that you'd value what I do for you
Maybe someday I'll leave here
And if loving is dying, I want to keep dying
I'm more yours than mine, that's why I'm losing
And if loving is dying, on your lips I die
I'm more yours than mine, that's why I'm losing

SONG MEANING

In “EL REY DE LO IMPERFECTO” Daddy Yankee swaps his usual swagger for sincerity, crowning himself the king of flaws while admiring a partner he sees as flawless. The lyrics paint a picture of uneven love: he is willing to “give the sky” and even “keep dying” in her embrace, yet feels she rarely meets him halfway. This creates a bittersweet tension where devotion tastes sweet on the lips but slowly erodes his own identity.

At its heart the song is a plea for balance and mutual respect. Yankee admits his own mistakes, calls out hidden truths, and begs her to recognize the efforts he makes. He wants to be loved as he is, imperfections and all, before the relationship’s race ends with two losers. The track mixes vulnerability with reggaetón charisma, reminding listeners that even superstars struggle with self-worth and the push-and-pull of real love.
