Odio Por Amor Lyrics in English Juanes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Odio Por Amor by Juanes from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
We work like two locomotives at full steam
And we forget that love
Is stronger than pain
That poisons reason
We're victims like this of our own foolish creation
And we forget that love
Is stronger than pain
That is a wound inside you
Chorus 1
Two brothers shouldn't fight anymore
It's time to reconsider
It's time to change
It's time to change
It's time to know
To ask for forgiveness
It's time to change in everyone's mind
Hate for love
Verse 2
If you start to think
Freedom has no ownership
I want to be with you, my love
I want to be with you, my love
I want to be with you, my love
If we learn to listen
Maybe we can walk together
Hand in hand until the end
Me here and you there
Hand in hand until the end
Chorus 2
Brothers shouldn't fight anymore
It's time to reconsider
And it's time to change
It's time to change
It's time to know
To ask for forgiveness
It's time to change in everyone's mind
Hate for love
Bridge
It's time to change
Hate for love
It's time to change in everyone's mind
Hate for love
Hate for love
It's time to change in everyone's mind
Hate for love
Hate for love
It's time to change in everyone's mind
Hate for love
It's time to change
Hate for love
It's time to change in everyone's mind
It's time to change

SONG MEANING

Juanes invites us on a high-speed journey of the heart in “Odio Por Amor.” The Colombian singer compares our daily grind to two roaring locomotives that forget their true fuel: love. When resentment and pain take the wheel, we become victims of our own creation, so the song urges us to slow down, look around, and remember that love is stronger than any wound festering inside. Forgiveness, he says, is not weakness but the key that unclogs the tracks, letting compassion flow freely again.

Wrapped in an energetic rock-pop rhythm, the lyrics call siblings, friends, and entire societies to swap conflict for connection. Juanes dreams of walking “hand in hand to the end,” where freedom belongs to everyone and hatred has no home. It is a passionate anthem for changing our mindset—replacing odio with amor—and proving that a united chorus of voices can drown out even the loudest noise of division.
