Verse 1
Everything seems to be good
But nothing is what it seems
I didn't know how to give you my hundred
Or: I couldn't give you my all
Although I tried many times
I tried but I failed
All my mistakes I already reviewed
And now tell me how do I sleep if you don't belong to me?
Prechorus 1
Grandma told me love doesn't work
Who you least expect leaves and betrays you
You left without saying goodbye
As if you never loved me
Chorus 1
I gave you what you asked for
And it wasn't enough
You only lied
And I your faithful believer
And I (was) your faithful believer
A thousand dreams you sold me
Or: You sold me a thousand dreams
I was your client
I was always the guilty one
And you playing the innocent one
Verse 2
You quietly checking my messages
And me foolishly taking you on trips
Or: And me taking you on trips
A nebula, everything was a visage
You left home and took your luggage
Nobody is going to love you like me
Nor is going to f*ck you like me
And now she wants me to stay calm
If a son of a b*tch tricked me
Or: If a son of a b*tch made fun of me
In the midst of this situation
My heart doesn't hurt
It hurts that you believed another b*stard something about me
Or: What hurts is how you believed what that bastard said about me
That I screwed you all night
You forgot that we destroyed all my cars
Every month a new perfume
I even bought you grass to smoke, baby
I don't want you to lack anything
And I hope that b*stard pays for your nail polish
I don't wish you harm
But you're going to think of me every time that you wake up
Chorus 2
I gave you what you asked for
And it wasn't enough
You only lied
And I your faithful believer
A thousand dreams you sold me
I was your client
Or: I was your customer
I was always the guilty one
And you playing the innocent one
Verse 3
You sold me dreams and I was your client
That innocent face
Only the rest of the people believe you
Maybe I'm masochistic or I just have bad luck
I ask God to see if he helps me with you
I won't call you, I clarify the doubt
Or: I'm not thinking of calling you, I'll clarify that doubt (in case you wondered)
I want to be free like Venezuela and Cuba
You never spoke clearly, you pretended to be mute
Or: You never spoke clearly, you became silent
You wanted attention and I put you in the center
You wanted my heart and I put it on discount
You asked for fifty and I gave you one hundred percent
You asked me for a watch and I wasted my time
I'm left waiting for your message to arrive
I ate another a*s, but thinking of your face
Or: I hooked up with someone else, but I was thinking about you
Stay with the guilt and also with the expensive clothes
Or: Keep the guilt and also the expensive clothes
And remember that betrayal is paid with betrayal
Chorus 3
I gave you what you asked for
And it wasn't enough
You only lied
And I your faithful believer
A thousand dreams you sold me
I was your client
Or: I was your customer
I was always the guilty one
And you playing the innocent one

al gareteadrift / off the rails

Al garete is a popular slang phrase that literally means "adrift", like a ship lost at sea without a rudder. It's used to describe a situation that is chaotic, or a person who is living recklessly and without direction.

In the song, Mora sings "Y yo al garete llevándote de viaje" (And me, recklessly taking you on trips). He uses this phrase to paint a picture of how he was lost in the relationship, spending money and living wildly for his partner, all while she was deceiving him.

This song is a classic reggaeton heartbreak anthem about being completely played by someone you trusted. Mora kicks things off by admitting he wasn't perfect, singing, "No supe darte mi cien" (I didn't know how to give you my 100%). But the mood quickly shifts from self-blame to straight-up accusation. He realizes his ex was never honest, and he was just buying into her act. The main idea is right there in the chorus: "Siempre era yo el culpable / Y tú jugando a la inocente" (I was always the guilty one / And you were playing the innocent one).

He gets really specific about how he treated her well, buying her perfume and even weed ("Hasta te compraba pasto pa' que fumes"), while she was secretly checking his messages. The best part is when he flips the script from being sad to being angry. He says he doesn't want bad things for her, but he hopes she thinks of him every time she wakes up. The final verse is ruthless, ending with the cold line, "Recuerda que la traición, con traición se paga" (Remember that betrayal is paid with betrayal). It's a story of realizing you were the only one being honest in a relationship built on lies.
