Verse 1

I walked in solitude

Like a stray dog

Trying to fill that void

Since I don't have you

One day you loved me, the next you didn't

I swear that I don't understand

Trying not to lose my sanity

But here I am

Walking on a tightrope and seeing the precipice

You are the cause of all my delusions

And to that one who has you, tell her that I don't envy her

Because it doesn't hurt me anymore, what was burning is now lukewarm

I remember that I was talking to the moon

And I was asking the sun

To please give me back

My first love

Those sleepless nights

Lit: Those nights without sleep

I became friends with alcohol

But it wasn't to forget you

It was to avoid the pain

Chorus 1

And you turned around but the ship had sailed

And I threw away your photos with everything and the frame

Since I did that, what was black and white

It started gaining color and that's why I emphasize

That it's too late for you, the ship sailed a while ago

And I threw away your photos with everything and the frame

Now it's nights of partying, it's not anymore nights of crying

And if I fell easily, I rise even easier

Verse 2

And little bird, fly

Go and fly very high

Because I don't want to see you even in a painting

And I even deleted your contact

And I don't want you to call me, no

For a reason I changed my phone number

I don't want to hear you crying, asking for forgiveness

When it was you who made the decision

Chorus 2

And you turned around but the ship had sailed

And I threw away your photos with everything and the frame

Since I did that, what was black and white

It started gaining color and that's why I emphasize

That it's too late for you, the ship sailed a while ago

And I threw away your photos with everything and the frame

Now it's nights of partying, it's not anymore nights of crying

And if I fell easily, I rise even easier

Outro

Because in my world

There are no sad endings or happy endings

But yes I believe in new beginnings

And you're not there, baby

What's gone is gone

You lost it, baby

jangueo — hanging out / partying

Jangueo is a popular slang term in Puerto Rico, derived from the English phrase "hanging out". It means to party, hang out, or go out for fun with friends.

In "EL BARCO", KAROL G uses this word to mark a powerful turning point. She sings, "Ahora son noches de jangueo, ya no son de llanto" (Now they are nights of partying, no longer nights of crying), showing she has moved on from her heartbreak and is embracing a new, fun-filled chapter of her life.

“EL BARCO” invites us on a bittersweet voyage from heartbreak to self-discovery. At the start of the song, KAROL G compares herself to a stray dog wandering alone, confused by a love that flickers on and off. She remembers sleepless nights spent talking to the moon, seeking refuge in alcohol not to erase her ex, but to numb the sting. The chorus pictures a symbolic ship that has already sailed; when her ex finally turns back, it is too late, and his framed photos are tossed away. Color slowly returns to her life, proving that even the deepest wounds can soften with time.

The second half flips the script into pure empowerment. KAROL G declares new “noches de jangueo” (party nights) instead of tears, erasing her ex’s number and refusing any last-minute apologies. The song tells learners that endings do not have to be tragic or perfect; they can become new beginnings filled with freedom, confidence, and vibrant color. “EL BARCO” is an anthem for anyone ready to let the past drift out to sea and sail forward on their own terms.
