Chimba is a cornerstone of Colombian slang, especially from Medellín, and a word you'll hear constantly in Feid's music. It's incredibly versatile: it can mean something is amazing or 'cool', but depending on the context, it can also mean something is of poor quality or fake.
In this song, Feid reminisces, "Pasábamos chimba, bebé, hablando claro" (We had a great time, baby, speaking plainly). Learning this one word is a key to unlocking the unique flavor and cultural vibe of modern paisa music.
This is a classic heartbreak reggaeton track, but Feid makes it feel so real. He's out at the club, trying to have fun, but he just can't shake his ex. He admits it's the "Primera vez que estoy jangueando en la disco triste" (First time I'm partying sad in the club) and that even when he's dancing with someone new, he's still thinking about his old love. The whole song is built around this one painful, relatable idea: he keeps forgetting they broke up. He'll get drunk and call her, only to remember, "Que ahora soy tu ex, que ya te perdí" (That now I'm your ex, that I already lost you).
He gets really specific about their past, remembering how he couldn't afford fancy gifts like Gucci or Fendi, but they had a great time just drinking guaro (a Colombian liquor). Now he's successful and has the truck they always dreamed of, but the passenger seat is empty. The most crushing line has to be when he realizes "el amor de mi vida / Está con el amor de su vida" (the love of my life / Is with the love of her life). It's a sad party anthem for anyone who's ever had a hard time letting go.
