Sigo Extrañándote Lyrics in English by J Balvin
El que dirán is a classic Spanish phrase that literally means "what they will say". It's a powerful cultural concept that refers to the pressure of public opinion, gossip, and the fear of being judged by others.
In the song, J Balvin sings about his ex posting freely on Instagram, "No te importa el que dirán" (You don't care what they'll say). He's highlighting her confidence and disregard for others' opinions, making this a very modern and relevant phrase to learn.
This song is a total post-breakup anthem from Colombia's J Balvin. He's singing to someone he's lost, and he is not over it. He reminds her how good they were together, saying their love was so strong that what they had was "envidiable" [enviable]. The main message is right there in the title: "Entiende que yo sigo extrañándote" [Understand that I'm still missing you]. He repeats this over and over, making it clear she's on his mind "a cada instante, en todo momento" [every instant, in every moment].
What makes this song so relatable is how he's dealing with the breakup in a very modern way. He admits, "Yo estoy pendiente a tus movimientos" [I'm watching your moves] and then confesses he sees her posts on Instagram. He watches her photos and says he's dying to be the one with her at night. He's desperate to fix things, pleading with her to just tell him where to meet: "Dime dónde, por favor, responde" [Tell me where, please, answer]. It's a classic story of wanting someone back, with a 21st-century social media twist.
