El Amor En Carro (En Vivo) Lyrics in English Gabito Ballesteros

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Amor En Carro (En Vivo) by Gabito Ballesteros from Spanish to English.
How do I tell you that I want to tell you that I love you?
How do I calm this jealousy that I feel when I look at you?
How is it that you're with that guy?
How is it that he made you fall in love
That heart of stone, so anti-romantic, unfriendly?
Maybe he has a new car, and I don't
Maybe he has a bank account, and I'm just talk
Maybe his dad is a politician
And that was enough for you
Now love rides on four tires
With brand-name pants or shirt
Now love pulls over for traffic cops
It stops at stoplights, and it even makes a "stop"
Now love goes to the mechanic
It has airbags and tinted windows
Now love takes us everywhere
A friend told me that he's seen your love in a car
A doctor told me that it was a human epidemic
Now love rides on four tires
In brand-name pants or shirt
Now love pulls over for traffic cops
It stops at stoplights, and it even makes a "stop"
Now love goes to the mechanic
It has airbags and tinted windows
Now love takes us everywhere
A friend told me that he's seen your love in a car
A doctor told me that it was a human epidemic
Did you like these lyrics?
SONG MEANING

Gabito Ballesteros turns a classic tale of unrequited love into a playful critique of materialism. The narrator is head-over-heels for someone who has chosen a flashier rival, and his jealousy boils over into a string of questions: How did a "heart of stone" win you over? Is it the new car, the fat bank account, or the well-connected family? Each clue points to the same conclusion—today, love apparently rides on "four wheels," dresses in brand-name clothes, and obeys traffic lights just like any other vehicle.

By repeating the hook "Ahora el amor anda en cuatro llantas," Ballesteros paints a vivid picture of romance reduced to horsepower and tinted windows. It is witty, a little sarcastic, and surprisingly relatable; many listeners will recognize the frustration of watching genuine feelings lose out to shallow status symbols. Performed live, the song feels like a friendly rant shared among pals, inviting us to laugh, sing along, and maybe question how much value we place on shiny toys over sincere hearts.
