Amigos Lyrics in English J Balvin

Home / Lyrics Translation / J Balvin / Amigos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amigos by J Balvin from Spanish to English.

I went out to look at the moon

But I ended up looking at your photos

Babe, to be honest with you

I think of you even though what we had is broken

The fault wasn't yours

But neither was it mine

And maybe it seems crazy

But tell me if it is that I'm wrong

It was the fault of routine

That what we had got f*cked up

I had to let you go

Even though that hurt me

With the asses I killed the heartbreak

But you know that not just anyone

Is going to fill the void that you left

And is going to do it for me in the same way

I went out to look at the moon

But I ended up looking at your photos

Babe, to be honest with you

I think of you even though what we had is broken

The fault wasn't yours

But neither was it mine

And maybe it seems crazy

But tell me if it is that I'm wrong

It was the fault of routine

There aren't even places left anymore for us to make love

Summer turns into winter and I, who am a fan of the heat

The movie that you and I had

You put it in black and white, and I like color

The tears gave us a cold, you no longer smell my scent

We worry about the things that we have around us

Really crazy because it seems like a joke

I would wish you the best, but you already had me

Babe, you were that story that I swiped

That thing I was about to tweet, but that I deleted in the end

So many photos we took that I never posted

The reason why I've gone back to hitting play on "Te Boté"

Babe, you were that story that I swiped

That thing I was about to tweet, but that I deleted in the end

So many photos we took that I never posted

The reason why I've gone back to hitting play on "Te Boté"

I went out to look at the moon

But I ended up looking at your photos

Babe, to be honest with you

I think of you even though what we had is broken

The fault wasn't yours

But neither was it mine

And maybe it seems crazy

But tell me if it is that I'm wrong

It was the fault of routine

That what we had got f*cked up

I had to let you go

Even though that hurt me

With the asses I killed the heartbreak

But you know that not just anyone

Is going to fill the void that you left

And is going to do it for me in the same way

J Balvin, man

Mo-mo-mosty

Let's go

SONG MEANING

J Balvin’s “Amigos” feels like scrolling through late-night memories on your phone while the moon keeps watch. The Colombian superstar confesses that a simple plan to admire the night sky turns into an emotional deep dive into an old flame’s photos. Over a smooth reggaeton beat, he owns up to a breakup that neither partner fully caused: routine, boredom, and time were the real culprits. Even a carousel of casual flings can’t fill the space she left, and he admits that every new face only reminds him of the one he lost.

Between playful pop-culture references and raw honesty, Balvin paints a relatable picture of post-breakup nostalgia. He compares their love story to an Instagram story he swiped away, tweets he never posted, and colorful scenes that faded to black and white. “Amigos” captures that bittersweet moment when you wish someone the best, yet still replay songs that once helped you move on. It’s a groove-filled reminder that letting go can hurt, memories linger, and even global stars can’t escape the pull of past love.
