Below, I translated the lyrics of the song De Pequeño Fue El Coco by Melendi from Spanish to English.

Today

After a thousand turns I already came to the conclusion

My first love was me

The first to touch me and wink at me in the mirror

The first to identify all my complexes

The first who told me hey Ramón

I think that you're being too much of a b*stard

Because I am my first love and my worst enemy

That I love myself while I give myself Christ's spurs

It may be that from loving myself so much

I forgot that I am my enemy

It may be that I've been taking advantage of myself for years

I know myself so well that I exploit my weaknesses

And I know when I'm most inclined to do more mischief

I'm a naughty kid who hides in a man's body

As a kid it was the Boogeyman

And now it's his woman who f*cks

Today

After a thousand turns in the end I finally understood

That actually I am like this

That it's not worth fighting to change certain things

Not all caterpillars can become butterflies

I told myself Ramón you have to accept yourself

It's gonna be the only way to move forward

Because like that I'm my first love and my worst enemy

That I love myself while I give myself Christ's spurs

It may be that from loving myself so much

I forgot that I am my enemy

It may be that I've been taking advantage of myself for years

I know myself so well that I exploit my weaknesses

And I know when I'm most inclined to do mischief

I'm a naughty kid who hides in a man's body

As a kid it was the Boogeyman

And now it's his woman who f*cks

You yourself with your organism

I tell myself you will know what you do

While at the same time I answer myself

Come on dude don't bug me

You will know, the cemetery is all full of brave men

I mutter through my teeth while I answer myself with an angry look

It may be that from loving myself so much

I forgot that I am my enemy

It may be that I've been taking advantage of myself for years

I know myself so well that I exploit my weaknesses

And I know when I'm most inclined to do mischief

I'm a naughty kid who hides in a man's body

As a kid it was the Boogeyman

And now it's his woman who f*cks

SONG MEANING

Melendi turns the mirror on himself and invites us to listen in on the hilarious, sometimes brutal conversation he has with… Melendi. In “De Pequeño Fue El Coco,” the Asturian singer admits that his first love is the man staring back at him, the one who knows every insecurity and every trick for self-sabotage. Through playful rhymes and tongue-in-cheek scolding, he shows how easy it is to flip from cheering yourself on to tripping yourself up. The result feels like a comic duel where pride, guilt, and a mischievous inner child all fight for the mic.

The song’s lesson is simple yet powerful: embrace the mess. After circling his own mind “mil vueltas,” Melendi realizes that some parts of us are better accepted than fixed. Not every caterpillar turns into a butterfly, and that is perfectly fine. By acknowledging both his courage and his cowardice, he frees himself to grow without pretending to be perfect. It is a cheeky reminder that your greatest ally and worst enemy share the same body, so you might as well learn to laugh, dance, and sing along with them. 🎶
