Orgullo Lyrics in English Justin Quiles , J Balvin

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Orgullo by Justin Quiles from Spanish to English.
Justin Quiles, J Balvin
She tells me that I should call her
But she's spoiled
So today there's a change of plans
I'm going to wait for her call
We're wrapped up in a game
Where we're prisoners
Of the feeling that we carry inside
I feel discontent and I know it
Pride is killing me
When I most want to be by your side
Just seeing you I conclude
That you're for me
And I'm for you
Pride is killing me
When I most want to be by your side
Just seeing you I conclude
That you're for me
And I'm for you
With you slowly I won't break free
But I follow all your moves on Instagram
In front of your friends nothing matters to me
But I get home and loneliness kills me
You know, babe, what you and I live
We started as lovers and now we're enemies
How it hurts to see the fire going out
And how our world is torn down by ego
It's that you have me
On a swing
On a swing
On a swing
It's that you have me
On a swing
The urge to see you again kills me
Pride is killing me
When I most want to be by your side
Just seeing you I conclude
That you're for me
And I'm for you
Pride is killing me
When I most want to be by your side
Just seeing you I conclude
That you're for me
And I'm for you
Forgive me if the moments are brief
I'd like to give you more
But it's just that sometimes it can't be done
One day I'll look for you
So that you take my heart with you
And you can feel what I feel
From Thursday to Thursday
I'd like to be your umbrella
In the afternoons when it rains
I'd like to be your bottle
To kiss you when you drink
Maybe I can't pick you up
In a Bimmer or a Mercedes
But I can make you fall in love
When you wrap yourself in my arms
She tells me that I should call her
That she doesn't sleep early
If she doesn't text I don't text
And if she doesn't call I don't call
But she's the same
We're wrapped up in a game
Where we're prisoners
Of the feeling that we carry inside
I feel discontent and I know it
Pride is killing me
When I most want to be by your side
Just seeing you I conclude
That you're for me
And I'm for you
Pride is killing me
When I most want to be by your side
Just seeing you I conclude
That you're for me
And I'm for you

SONG MEANING

Orgullo paints the picture of a couple trapped in a playful yet painful tug-of-war, where ego is the real jailer. Justin Quiles and J Balvin confess that they stalk each other on Instagram, count the hours until the other one texts, and replay memories of better days, but neither wants to make the first move. The chorus says it all: “Me está matando el orgullo cuando más quiero estar al lado tuyo” – pride is killing them right when they most want to be together. Their love started hot, almost reckless, and now it flickers as each waits for a sign, refusing to surrender that tiny word “sorry.”

Wrapped in a smooth reggaeton beat, the song feels like late-night messages that hover unsent. Its message is universal: when pride gets louder than our feelings, we risk losing someone who might actually be perfect for us. Listening to “Orgullo” is a reminder to put the phone down, step out of the stalemate, and choose vulnerability over silence.
