I learned that most of the time
Things aren't what they seem
That we're a species that specializes in lying
So we can build a future with lies
Count how many times we make disappear
With just one phrase what we wouldn't want to lose
Life slips away from us, we keep letting it run
The train with the love that only passes once
I learned not to laugh at anyone with arrogance
Because I don't know what my circumstances will be
It's just an ego thing
The clothes I look best in are those of the soul
I learned that calm is a good adviser
When it's time to make sure decisions
That I'm not the smartest
But with an opportunist I must be a beast
And I know that one can mess up
Like a normal human being
That it's really valuable that they forgive you
But even more to forgive
That you can't trample on your word
Trample on morality
That love isn't enough when respect doesn't reach
It's like plowing in the sea
I'm not better than anybody, nobody's better than me
Even though I don't get how everyone wants to look alike
How people clone themselves, lose their own voice
And they don't know where to walk when they get up
I learned that wanting to know everything that they think about me
That's my threat
It's opening the door to envy
Saying, 'How are you, ma'am? Come in, it's your house'
That things happen
But mistakes weigh
Because later they drag
Because later they crush you like chains of the soul
I know as I know
You miss a brother when you need him
I know that sometimes
The one who suffers most is the one who loves you most
I know that I'll have
Another dawn where I don't even have a pillow
I've already understood
That life is beautiful but it's not a fairy tale
I know that one can mess up
Like a normal human being
That it's really valuable that they forgive you
But even more to forgive
That you can't trample on your word
Trample on morality
That love isn't enough when respect doesn't reach
It's like plowing in the sea

SONG MEANING

Yo Aprendí is Karol G’s open diary, a rhythmic confession where the Colombian superstar and Cuban wordsmith Danay Suárez trade beats for life lessons. Over a smooth, almost meditative groove, they tear away society’s masks and remind us that truth, humility, and respect outshine any flashy outfit. The lyrics stroll through everyday contradictions: how we polish lies to build the future, ride past love’s one-time train, and let envy walk right through the door when we worry about what others think.

By listing what she has learned, Karol paints a checklist for real-world wisdom: stay calm before big choices, be fierce with opportunists, forgive and ask forgiveness, never trample your own word, and remember that love without respect is like “plowing the sea.” The song feels both intimate and universal, nudging listeners to keep their souls well-dressed, accept human mistakes, and cherish the beauty of life even when it is no fairy tale.
