Verse 1
You asked me for time, I gave you your moment
Tell me if you've managed to erase this feeling
His kisses aren't worth it if I am who makes you hot
Or: His kisses aren't worth it if I'm the one who turns you on
Tell me if I lie
Chorus 1
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
Or: He doesn't take you where I took you
You think of me, I think of you
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
Verse 1
We had a deal and you broke the contract
You believed the story and you continued with your outburst
You got a cheap love
You thought he was a king, but he's a toad
You tell me and when you want I rescue you
To fix ours and to end that relationship
He doesn't make you happy, I know that I'm right
'Tener la razón' translates directly as 'to have reason', but it means 'to be right'
While with me the equation is perfect
To turn you on I turn on the passion
'Calentar' is a verb meaning 'to heat', 'to warm up', but it is also colloquially used as 'to turn on' / 'to get turned on' / 'to get aroused'
To fix ours and to end that relationship
He doesn't make you happy, I know that I'm right
While with me the equation is perfect
To turn you on I turn on the occasion
Or: To make you feel hotter / To warm you up / To turn you on, I set the mood
Chorus 2
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
Verse 2
That he gives you everything, I know that story
And the next day after the party you feel alone
You know that it doesn't work, I live in your memory
Lit: You know that that doesn't go, I live in your memory
If you know that you failed, don't sing victory
Or: If you know you failed, don't claim victory
I came to remind you
How you and I do it, how we know each other
That I'm the owner of your parts
'Partes' is usually used in a sexually suggestive way, meaning 'private parts'
Baby, when do we see each other? And when do we eat each other?
Or: Babe, when will we see each other? And when will we hook up?
Chorus 3
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you
I don't know why I'm here, babe, begging you
If you are with him deceiving yourself
He doesn't make you reach where I reached
You think of me, I think of you

SONG MEANING

Tiempo pulses with Manuel Turizo’s signature reggaeton groove while telling a relatable story of mixed signals and burning attraction. The Colombian singer addresses an ex who once asked for tiempo (time) but is now with someone new. Turizo swings between pleading and confident flair, confessing that he still heats her up more than her current partner ever could. Lines like "¿Por qué estoy aquí, ma', rogándote?" reveal his frustration, yet his swagger shows when he boasts that theirs is the perfect equation.

Key moments:

  • He labels her new romance an "amor barato" and offers to "rescatarte" from it.
  • He insists only he can take her "donde yo llegué", highlighting the unmatched chemistry they shared.
  • The chorus repeats the tug-of-war between pride and longing, turning heartache into a dance-floor anthem.

In short, Tiempo is a fiery mix of regret, jealousy, and irresistible magnetism, proving that sometimes giving someone space only reminds them who truly sets their heart on fire.
