La Pena Lyrics in English Mike Bahía

La Pena (which can be understood as heartache in Spanish) is Mike Bahía’s bittersweet confession that even the most colorful love story can fade to gray. Over a catchy Latin pop groove, the Colombian singer looks back on a relationship where he gave everything and received almost nothing in return. He compares himself to a teen in love while she stays as cold and distant as a widow at a funeral, and he realizes that his once-bright world was actually lived with eyes closed.

The chorus drives home the message: there is no pain tougher than loving alone. Promises mean little when they are not backed by action, and memories hurt when they remind you that your devotion was never matched. By the end, Mike questions whether he can love again, since one bad experience now makes him see every woman as a potential heartbreaker. The song is both a lament and a lesson about self-worth, urging listeners to look for love that is shown, not just spoken.
