Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tengo Cosas Que Contarte by José Mercé from Spanish to English.

We have to sing to you like this

In this way

Sometimes it turns out better and sometimes worse

But in the way it’s been made public

It can’t be sung any other way

At least giving the heart

Listen, my love

There’s no need to picture you anymore

And there’s no way to find

And I can compare nothing

That I’m trying to explain myself

You give me so much

That the words don’t know it

That there’s no distance that ends

Not a single book that clears it up

How to tell so much love

I’ve not one sigh left that doesn’t speak of you

Not a hug nor a secret that doesn’t speak of you

Not a slight nor a lament, I only have

I only have

I’ve got things to tell you

I’ve got a world to give you

I’ve got laughs, I’ve got dance

I’ve got ways to love you

I’ve got a heart

A new flavor

Cotton bullets

Cardboard bombs

I’ve got color wars

I told myself I’d be fine

You told me it could be

Dreams turn real

Believing always cost me

I’ve felt glass under my feet

I still don’t hang medals on me

I’m used to beatings, you know

But I said I won’t stop, they’ll see

I pull it, I hit harder

Days get killed, shot

Watch out for me

I’m no godfather or hitman

My bastard mama raised me

So I don’t slip in downpours

Shameless moves don’t tickle me

I’m the bad one and I won’t shut up

I’ve got a star on my forehead and I don’t miss

And for that I’ve already got calluses

Lots of pouting, hey look, look what I do

I’ve not one sigh left that doesn’t speak of you

Not a hug nor a secret that doesn’t speak of you

Not a slight nor a lament, I only have

I only have

I’ve got things to tell you

I’ve got a world to give you

I’ve got laughs, I’ve got dance

I’ve got ways to love you

I’ve got a heart

A new flavor

Cotton bullets

Cardboard bombs

I’ve got color wars

I’ve got, I’ve got, I’ve got, I’ve got, I’ve got

I’ve got, I’ve got, I’ve got

I’ve got things to tell you

I’ve got a world to give you

I’ve got laughs, I’ve got dance

I’ve got ways to love you

I’ve got a heart

A new flavor

Cotton bullets

Cardboard bombs

I’ve got color wars

But in the way it’s been made public

It can’t be sung any other way

Thanks

SONG MEANING

José Mercé junta la guitarra pura de Tomatito con el flow valiente de Mala Rodríguez para lanzar una carta de amor que vibra entre el flamenco y el hip-hop. Desde los primeros versos, Mercé admite que no existen libros ni distancias capaces de explicar lo que siente: cada suspiro, abrazo y secreto habla de ti. El estribillo enumera todo lo que guarda para la persona amada —risas, baile, “balas de algodón” y “bombas de cartón”— imágenes que convierten la pasión en un arsenal inofensivo, lleno de color y ternura.

Cuando entra Mala, la declaración se vuelve todavía más poderosa. Ella recuerda los golpes y los “cristales” que ha pisado, pero también su decisión de no detenerse ni callarse. Su verso transforma la canción en un himno de resiliencia: el amor no es solo romance, también es fuerza para levantarse y crear un “nuevo sabor” incluso después de la tormenta. En conjunto, la pieza celebra la sinceridad absoluta: decirlo todo con el corazón, cantar sin filtros y ofrecer al ser querido un mundo entero rebosante de arte, coraje y alegría.
