Caballero Lyrics in English by Moderatto, KAROL G

Caballero literally translates to "gentleman" or "knight". It's a classic Spanish word that evokes images of chivalry and old-fashioned manners.

In the song, the narrator repeatedly declares, "Soy un caballero" (I am a gentleman), even as he struggles with jealousy and heartbreak. The irony of his self-proclaimed gentlemanly status versus his inner turmoil makes this word particularly interesting and central to the song's narrative.

Get ready for a fun ride with "Caballero" by Moderatto featuring KAROL G! This song is a hilarious and a bit dramatic look at a breakup from two very different perspectives. The guy starts by insisting he's a true gentleman, saying things like "Soy un caballero, ante todo te lo digo" [I'm a gentleman, above all I tell you]. He claims he's so proper that he won't even comment on his ex's short skirts or her friends, even though he's "loco de celos" [crazy with jealousy]. He tries to drown his sorrows with alcohol, repeating "Apagaré el dolor con tragos de licor" [I'll drown the pain with sips of liquor] and asking for "más alcohol para olvidar su amor" [more alcohol to forget her love].

But then KAROL G jumps in to give her side of the story, and it's a total mic drop! She reminds him that "En una historia siempre hay dos puntos de vista" [In a story there are always two points of view]. She calls him out, saying he forgot all the nights she cried because he didn't pay attention to her. She's not the same person anymore, and she's living life on her own terms, not caring if he likes it or not. It's a great song about moving on and seeing how a breakup can look completely different depending on who you ask!
