Verse 1
I want to take advantage
Since I'm drunk
To be able to tell you
All the things that I've kept for myself
I know that it's not the time to call
But I saw you online
And I just wanted to confirm
If you were still my girl
I'm sorry
It's that you know that it's hard for me to say what I feel
But a drunk doesn't lie, babe, I regret it
Seriously
To ask for forgiveness
I have to be drunk
Chorus 1
Since sober doesn't give me
Or: Since being sober doesn't work for me
That's why I'm calling you
I have the need
To know how you're doing
And if still you continue loving me
I have tried it
But sober doesn't give me
That's why I'm drinking
I have the need
Or: I need
To know how you're doing
And if still you continue loving me
I have tried it
Verse 2
Babe, sorry, I know that it's not the hour
Or: Baby, sorry, I know it's not the right time
But it's that the drink doesn't collaborate
I want to know if you laugh or cry
If you're accompanied or alone
I for my part
Or: I from my side
I do nothing but miss you
Or: I don't do other things other than miss you
I'm drinking, supposedly, to forget you
But it's obvious
That it hurts me that you hate me
If at the last hour I wasn't such a bad boyfriend
Or: If at the last moment I wasn't such a bad boyfriend
I think of you drunk and I hide it sober
I wanted you for marriage
But you're giving to this a wake
When I drink my pride
I send it to the devil
Chorus 2
Since sober doesn't give me
Or: Since being sober doesn't work for me
That's why I'm calling you
I have the need
To know how you're doing
And if still you continue loving me
I have tried it
But sober doesn't give me
That's why I'm drinking
I have the need
To know how you're doing
And if still you continue loving me
I have tried it

SONG MEANING

Sobrio turns a late-night “drunk call” into a catchy Reggaeton confession. Maluma plays the role of a love-struck ex who can only spill his true feelings after a few too many drinks. Between rhythmic beats, he admits that liquor lowers his guard, letting him apologize, ask if his old flame still loves him, and even hint that he once imagined marriage. The song balances swagger with vulnerability as he wrestles with pride, regret, and a buzzing phone screen that shows her online.

Instead of the usual club braggadocio, this track spotlights a relatable moment: gathering liquid courage to say what sobriety blocks. With its addictive chorus and honest lyrics, “Sobrio” invites listeners to dance while reflecting on those impulsive messages we all consider sending when the night is late, the heart is heavy, and the glass is half full.
