Tiraste A Matar Lyrics in English León Larregui

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tiraste A Matar by León Larregui from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
If you leave, babe
There's nothing good left
If I see you again
I don't know if we'll come back
You shot to kill
And you hit me mid-flight
And you're right
That I pretend to be perfect
And that I'm not
I acted like an a*shole
Forgive me
I didn't mean to hurt you
Chorus 1
I know what you feel
But I'm not the same as before
I carried sorrows
A heavy karma and kinda twisted
Look there, look there at me
Under the sea
And you give me love
And you trust in my delusions
And you're the best
That has happened to me
You shot to kill
And you hit me mid-flight
Let them say what they want
But I'm not the same as before
I carried sorrows
A heavy karma and kinda twisted
No more, no more, I won't trip again
No more, no more, I won't mess up again
No more, no more, no more, I won't cross myself again
Never again will I risk this love
Better let's dance, that everything's fine
We're humans and sometimes inhuman
We love each other harder than yesterday
The world spins backwards

SONG MEANING

Tiraste A Matar (literal meaning: You shot to kill) is León Larregui’s passionate confession of a love on the brink. The singer begins in free-fall, admitting that if his partner leaves, “no queda nada bueno” — nothing good will remain. He feels as if her words have “hit him in mid-flight,” and he openly owns up to behaving “como un pendejo.” This imagery of being shot down captures the raw sting of guilt and heartbreak, pulling the listener straight into his moment of reckoning.

Yet the song is not only about pain. As the verses unfold, Larregui pivots from regret toward redemption. He recognizes the “karma denso” he has carried, promises he is “ya no el mismo de antes,” and vows to never risk this love again. The mood finally lifts into an invitation: “Mejor bailemos que todo está bien” — better to dance, because everything is fine. Imperfect but determined, the couple decides to love “más fuerte que ayer” while the world spins upside-down. It is a fiercely honest reminder that humans can wound each other, heal, and then choose to celebrate — all in the same breath.
