I was gonna get married
Just for the papers
Then bring my partner over
But things are complicated, and I
I was gonna get married
To stay here the legal way
But it's that when you move away
The little devil in your ear starts talking too much
Giving you this news hurts
Today I'm gonna get married
And not just for the papers
I swear that it wasn't on purpose
For this decision I ask you to forgive me
If I didn't put my heart in
These lyrics would be different, but no
That I loved him, I had to pretend
And with him I had to live through some things
The lie stopped being a lie
Because I believed it
I find myself between a rock and a hard place
It was supposed to be a short time for a document
And I threw feelings in
It was a scene, it was a shoot
And I got into the character
And look at me now
The wedding is real
I've got a new life
My past life, I leave it all to you
I leave it all to you
I leave it all to you
I leave it all to you
She came to improve her life
And, according to her, her boyfriend's too
But the gringo got into the bed
And the three of us don't fit in the bed
She made an oath
In front of the judge
Her accent changed
Now she only speaks English
That wasn't in my plans
These are things that get out of hand
You were my boy
But I got fond of the gringo, forgive me
She came to improve her life
And, according to her, her boyfriend's too
But the gringo got into the bed
And the three of us don't fit in the bed
She made an oath
In front of the judge
Her accent changed
Now she only speaks English
And in less than a month
In less than a month
Everything went the other way for me
I fell in love with the one I didn't wanna fall for
And the one I was in love with I've already forgotten

SONG MEANING

La Indocumentada spins a telenovela-worthy tale set to Mike Bahía’s irresistible pop-tropical groove. Our storyteller is a Colombian dreamer who plans a sham wedding in the United States just to get legal papers, bring over the real sweetheart back home, and then live happily ever after. Easy, right? Except Cupid gate-crashes the immigration office. While pretending to love the American “gringo,” the protagonist accidentally catches real feelings, turning a cold transaction into a hot romance and leaving the original boyfriend with nothing but apologies.

The song dives into the messy crossroads of love, legality, and identity: fake vows turn genuine, accents switch from Spanish to English, and a carefully scripted plan unravels in less than a month. Mike Bahía uses witty lyrics and a danceable beat to highlight the emotional cost of chasing a better life abroad—the heart does not follow immigration rules. Expect humor, drama, and a reminder that you can fill out all the right forms yet still end up in a love triangle you never saw coming.
