Verse 1

First, I want to tell you that I loved you every second

'Segundo' is used as 2 meanings, as it translates to 'second' in reference to time, as well as in referencing to counting the second reason

I never failed you, by telling you this, babe, I already fulfill

Cumplir is a verb which translates as 'to fulfil', 'to achieve', 'to do one's duty'

But third parties wanted to hurt your relationship with me

'Terceros' is used as 2 meanings, as it translates to 'third parties', but also third reason

And now the bedroom feels cold

'Cuarto' is used as 2 meanings also, as it can translate to 'bedroom', but also to 'fourth', referring to the fourth reason

Chorus 1

And I'm watching the ceiling, remembering you

And asking God that he's taking care of you

I'm not good at pretending that I already forgot you

Baby, I miss you, without you the nights are long

Or: Baby, I need you, the nights are long without you

Verse 2

I'm watching the ceiling and the bedroom is cold

You left my life and I feel empty

I never forget the nights of dancing

'Perrear' is a slang verb meaning 'to dance', 'to grind', 'to twerk'

And now I go out on the street and I barely even smile

Prechorus 1

Baby, you hurt me

I don't tell you so that you feel hurt

It's that we were a fantastic combination

Combination is Spanish is 'combinación', but here a shortened informal version 'combi' is used

I was your fan and you were my fan, but in the end

You hurt me

I don't tell you so that you feel hurt

It's that we were a fantastic combination

I was your fan and you were my fan, but in the end

Chorus 2

I'm watching the ceiling, remembering you

And asking God that he's taking care of you

I'm not good at pretending that I already forgot you

Baby, I miss you, without you the nights are long

Verse 3

And how do you overcome

Or: And how do I get over

The kisses that we gave each other sitting on the stairs?

I still have your photo in my wallet

It's that for me, you'll never be fleeting

Or: To me, you'll never be a fling

And I'm not lying to you

This loneliness is killing me slowly

I continue waiting for you in the same seat

I didn't prepare for the end of the story

Prechorus 2

Baby, you hurt me

I don't tell you so that you feel hurt

It's that we were a fantastic combination

I was your fan and you were my fan, but in the end

You hurt me

I don't tell you so that you feel hurt

It's that we were a fantastic combination

I was your fan and you were my fan, but in the end

Chorus 3

I'm watching the ceiling, remembering you

And asking God that he's taking care of you

I'm not good at pretending that I already forgot you

Baby, I miss you, without you the nights are long

And without you the nights are long

SONG MEANING

Heartbreak doesn’t always sound like a ballad—sometimes it drops on a reggaetón beat. In Viendo El Techo, Puerto Rican artist Jay Wheeler turns his gaze upward, literally staring at the ceiling while replaying every memory of a love that slipped away. He swears he “loved her every second,” yet rumors and outsiders tore the couple apart, leaving him alone in a cold room where even the wildest perreo nights feel distant.

The song is a confession booth wrapped in rhythmic drums: Jay admits he still keeps her photo in his wallet, begs God to protect her, and struggles to pretend he has moved on. The chorus repeats the ache of long, sleepless nights without her, emphasizing that their bond was a “fantastic combo” of mutual fandom turned painful void. Viendo El Techo captures that universal post-breakup moment when you lie awake, ceiling-gazing, asking how to erase kisses shared on the staircase and wondering if the story really had to end.
