Amor Con Hielo Lyrics in English by Morat

Sirenas are the 'sirens' from mythology, beautiful creatures who lured sailors to their doom. It's a captivating and uncommon word to find in a pop song.

In "Amor Con Hielo," the singer uses it metaphorically in the line, "Yo me quedé en las sirenas, tú te ahogaste" (I stayed with the sirens, you drowned). He suggests that while he was distracted by other temptations, his ex was the one who ultimately 'drowned' after abandoning their relationship 'ship'.

This song by the Colombian band Morat is the ultimate post-breakup comeback. The singer is talking to an ex who left him, thinking their relationship was a sinking ship. But he has a surprise for her: "Saltaste tú de primera / Dejando un barco que al final nunca se hundió" (You jumped first / Leaving a ship that in the end never sank). He's telling her that while she thought she was escaping a disaster, he stayed afloat and is doing just fine without her.

He's not just surviving, he's completely over it. He makes it clear with some hilariously specific and cold lines, like "Yo ya me olvide del nombre de tu perro" (I already forgot your dog's name). The chorus is a powerful rejection of any lingering connection she might feel they have. He sings, "No vengas a cobrarme porque no te debo / No te debo nada" (Don't come to collect because I don't owe you / I owe you nothing). He tried to preserve what they had—to put their love "con hielo" (on ice)—but it was already gone. It's a song about realizing that the person who ends a relationship doesn't always win.
