Ego Lyrics in English J Balvin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ego by J Balvin from Spanish to English.
I felt something more when I kissed your heart
I could make myself only yours
If you're willing to be only mine
But you belong to someone
I'm here, thinking about drinking and I don't even drink
Here, doing a bit more than I should
I'm here, here
I'm, mm-mm, without my ego
I'm looking for excuses to see if I see you
If we missed the plane, tell me when I take off
Even though I'm without wings you can give me flight
In case the sky clears
I'm here thinking about drinking and I don't even drink
Here, doing a bit more than I should
I'm here, here
I'm, mm-mm, without my ego
Baby, don't be bad, come here and come here
Baby, don't be bad, come here, now come here
Baby, don't be bad, come here and come here
Baby, don't be bad
Tell me what I'm going to do with you if I don't forget you, if I don't
Give me one night and I'll say goodbye, that I'm active today, tell me, baby
What am I going to do with myself with you, if I don't forget you, if I don't?
Give me one night and I'll say goodbye

SONG MEANING

“Ego” plunges us into the tug-of-war between pride and irresistible attraction. Over a smooth reggaetón groove, Colombian superstar J Balvin admits he is bending his own rules: he barely drinks, yet he is “thinking of drinking,” and he knows he should not chase someone who already belongs to someone else, yet he cannot help himself. Every line drips with temptation and vulnerability as he looks for excuses just to see her, asking her not to be “mala” while promising that a single night together will be his farewell.

The title spotlights the inner conflict at play. Balvin’s ego tells him to back off, but his heart races forward, convinced that her kiss unlocked something deeper. The song captures that universal moment when desire overpowers logic, turning even the most confident person into a bundle of restless energy and late-night schemes. With catchy repetition and emotional honesty, “Ego” reminds us how love can humble us, blur boundaries, and make even the coolest heads spin.
