Gris Lyrics in English J Balvin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Gris by J Balvin from Spanish to English.
Chorus 1
The same never-ending story
There's always something to clear up
If I look at another I'm not loyal
I'd like to move on, but you don't get over it
Maybe you're perfect to judge
No matter that I do it well, you see it wrong
Tell me more, tell me what
Chorus 1
I do whatever it takes
So that, so that you don't freak out
You, my vibe from the block
Tell me more, tell me what
I do whatever it takes
So that, so that you don't freak out
You, my vibe from the block
Verse 1
Tell me more, I do whatever it takes
So that you notice the good in me
You always keep me in some dive
You're gonna wear me out
I don't know if tomorrow you'll dump me
Life might spin you around
Maybe I'll get riled up
Babe, nobody can defeat you
Chorus 2
And tell me more, tell me what
I do whatever it takes
So that, so that you don't freak out
You, my vibe from the block
Tell me more, tell me what
Chorus 2
I do whatever it takes
So that, so that you don't freak out
You, my vibe from the
Verse 2
No matter that I look for the way
That she doesn't get mad, she always gets jealous
What we have is a separate case
The fight she doesn't win is a tie
No matter that I look for the way
That she doesn't get mad, she always gets jealous
What we have is a separate case
The fight she doesn't win is a tie
Chorus 3
The same never-ending story
There's always something to clear up
If I look at another I'm not loyal
I'd like to move on, but you don't get over it
Maybe you're perfect to judge
No matter that I do it well, you see it wrong
Tell me more, tell me what
Chorus 3
I do whatever it takes
So that, so that you don't freak out
You, my vibe from the block

You, my vibe from the block

SONG MEANING

Gris captures J Balvin’s love life stuck in a “gray area,” where nothing is clearly right or wrong. The Colombian superstar sings about an endless cycle of arguments: every time he looks at someone else, his partner accuses him of being unfaithful. No matter how hard he tries to calm her fears, she always finds something new to question. This push-and-pull creates a cloudy mood that matches the song’s title, showing how jealousy can turn bright feelings into shades of gray.

Balvin’s lyrics flip between frustration and devotion. He promises to “hacer lo que toque” (do whatever it takes) so she won’t get upset, yet he wonders if she will ever be satisfied. The couple’s fights never have a clear winner; at best they reach an uneasy tie. In the end, Gris is a relatable snapshot of modern relationships, where insecurities blur the line between love and doubt, leaving both partners searching for clarity in the middle of the haze.
