El Equivocado Lyrics in English Mano Arriba

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Equivocado by Mano Arriba from Spanish to English.
Cumbia Baby
This is Mano Arriba
That it's not for me
That why I got involved
That if I saw him last night
All my friends see a flaw in him
I remind them
The perfect man doesn't exist
If I broke up, if I came back
If I disappeared
Girls, cut it; it's not like that
With him there's chemistry
And he smears my lipstick into my mascara
Chorus 1
Prince Charming doesn't work in love anymore
If the big bad wolf
Sees you, hears you and eats you better
Because we shouldn't overthink
While the right one doesn't show up
Let's enjoy, let's enjoy the wrong one
Because we shouldn't overthink
While the right one doesn't show up
Let's enjoy, let's enjoy the wrong one

That if I saw him last night
Chorus 1
All my friends see a flaw in him

The perfect man doesn't exist
Chorus 1
If I broke up, if I came back
If I disappeared
Chorus 1
Girls, cut it; it's not like that
With him there's chemistry
And he smears my lipstick into my mascara
Prince Charming doesn't work in love anymore
If the big bad wolf
Sees you, hears you and eats you better
Because we shouldn't overthink
While the right one doesn't show up
Let's enjoy, let's enjoy the wrong one
Because we shouldn't overthink
While the right one doesn't show up
Let's enjoy, let's enjoy the wrong one
Prince Charming doesn't work in love anymore
If the big bad wolf
Sees you, hears you and eats you better
Because we shouldn't overthink
While the right one doesn't show up
Let's enjoy, let's enjoy the wrong one
Because we shouldn't overthink
While the right one doesn't show up
Let's enjoy, let's enjoy the wrong one

SONG MEANING

El Equivocado is a playful cumbia from Dominican artist Mano Arriba that flips the classic love story on its head. Instead of hunting for a flawless Prince Charming, the singer cheekily tells her friends that perfection is overrated and probably doesn’t exist anyway. With a wink she admits that this so-called “wrong guy” messes up her lipstick and mascara, yet their chemistry is undeniable, and that is reason enough to keep dancing with him.

The chorus drives home the message: stop overthinking, enjoy the present, and have fun with whoever makes your heart race while you wait for the so-called “right one” to appear. By comparing the outdated fairy-tale prince to a daring “big bad wolf,” Mano Arriba celebrates living in the moment, trusting your own desires, and finding joy in imperfection—all wrapped in an irresistible cumbia beat that invites you to move, smile, and maybe text that “equivocado” back.
