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

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.
