Verse 1

I'm afraid to die and be born again

And that you're not there

That I want to do it to you like I used to do

And that you're not there

That you're not there

Like you always were for me

I know that I made a thousand mistakes

I don't know how long I can last without you

Chorus 1

And because of that come back

Because without you I won't be the same anymore

You're with another, I already found out

Tell me, baby, if you're thinking of coming back

And because of that come back

Because without you I won't be the same anymore

That you're with someone else, I already found out

Tell me if like me he knows how to do it

Verse 2

What happened in the relationship and the love that you had for me?

We did it so great that it seemed like orgies

I know that I'm still in your fantasies

You're with him, but you're mine

I miss the babydoll collection

Babydoll = lingerie

How they fit you, baby

In bed, scoring a goal

Like Shakira and Piqué

(Did not age well)

Roses, champagne, and a motel

You're the forbidden fruit that tastes like sin

And that knows how to play with my life

Because of that I get involved with anyone

That's why I get involved with anyone

Like a stray bullet

In my dreams, I feel your body

My only enemy is time

You close your eyes and think of my name

But you realize that now there's another man

Nobody exchanges gold for copper, I was wrong

In my dreams, I feel your body

My only enemy is time

I bet, I saw that I won, then I lost

I play my card to get you back

Chorus 2

And because of that come back

Because without you I won't be the same anymore

You're with another, I already found out

Tell me, baby, if you're thinking of coming back

And because of that come back

Without you I won't be the same anymore

You're with another, I already found out

Tell me if like me he knows how to do it

Verse 3

I smoke, I smoke and I don't get carried away

They told me that you already have another guy

I don't want wh*res to pass the time

They just want a purse and shoes

You were the only one who was real

The only one that I can trust

Your kisses were lit

Baby, ours will never have RIP

Or: Baby, what we had / our relationship will never rest in peace

You were my Angelina, I was your Brad Pitt

(Also did not age well)

We were a team, like LeBron and D-Wade in the Heat

Super impossible to forget about you

And everything that we did in that suite

Baby you were real

None of these wh*res are genuine

They're like fake Louis Vuitton, made in China

I swear that to see you with someone else hurts me

I'm waiting for you to come back and climb on top of me

Chorus 3

Because of that come back

Because without you I won't be the same anymore

You're with another, I already found out

Tell me, baby, if you're thinking of coming back

And because of that come back

Without you I won't be the same anymore

You're with another, I already found out

Tell me if like me he knows how to do it

Outro

It's clear

That we men

We're the worst negotiators

We exchange gold for copper

Did you like this lyrics translation?

cobre — copper

Cobre literally means "copper," a common metal. However, its power comes from the classic Spanish idiom used in the song: "cambiar el oro por el cobre" (to trade gold for copper).

Daddy Yankee uses this phrase to express his deep regret after a breakup. He realizes he made a terrible mistake, trading something invaluable and real (his partner, the "gold") for something of much lesser value (meaningless flings, the "copper"). It's a beautiful, memorable metaphor for making a bad trade in love.

Imagine waking up and realizing the best thing you ever had is now in someone else’s arms. Vuelve ("Come Back") captures that gut-punch feeling as Daddy Yankee and Bad Bunny trade raw confessions and late-night memories. Over a hypnotic reggaetón beat, they admit their mistakes, fear being reborn without their lover, and reveal a jealousy so intense it keeps them chain-smoking and restless. Every flashy reference—Shakira and Piqué, Brad Pitt and Angelina—highlights how legendary the couple once felt, making the present loneliness sting even more.

At its heart, the song is a heartfelt plea: “Regresa, because without you I am not the same.” The artists paint love as priceless “oro” that they foolishly swapped for cheap “cobre,” and now they are desperate to reverse the trade. Vuelve is both a confession and a love letter, reminding listeners that even the biggest superstars can fumble love and beg for a second chance.
