Cómo Te Atreves Lyrics in English Morat

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cómo Te Atreves by Morat from Spanish to English.
Today I wonder what will become of you
I had you close and now you're so far away
But forbidding myself to remember what was ours is impossible
It's impossible
I don't forgive myself, I know that I lost you
But the remorse has expired
I was a dictator and not letting you go
Should've been my first decree
Four years without seeing you
Three postcards and one bolero
Two months and you forgot me
And you didn't even think of me on February 29th
They're saying on the street
That you're only faithful to the wind
The same one that was never needed
To lift your skirt every other day
How dare you come back
To give life to what was dead
Loneliness had treated me well
And you're nobody to demand rights
How dare you come back
And turn your ashes into fire
Today I see my lies fall
That it's not true that I forgot you
How dare you come back
No no no
Why did you come back if you're gonna leave
So many lies that in the end I don't see
I was never good at telling them apart
After all I always believe them
You swore me four lifetimes
Three "I hate you"s and one "I love you"
Two pieces of advice to give you
I'd rather be a coward than forget first
They're saying on the street
That you're only faithful to the wind
The same one that was never needed
To lift your skirt every other day
How dare you come back
To give life to what was dead
Loneliness had treated me well
And you're nobody to demand rights
How dare you come back
And turn your ashes into fire
Today I see my lies fall
That it's not true that I forgot you
How dare you come back
No no no
How dare you come back
You hurt me but I'm still alive
With you I got used to losing
My heart works without beats
No
How dare you come back
How dare you come back
And turn your ashes into fire
Today I see my lies fall
That it's not true that I forgot you
How dare you come back
How dare you come back
How dare you come back
No no no

SONG MEANING

Have you ever finally patched up a broken heart, only for your ex to knock on the door as if nothing happened? That is exactly the emotional roller-coaster Morat sings about in “Cómo Te Atreves.” The Colombian band tells the story of someone who spent years healing after a painful breakup—counting the months, postcards, and broken promises—only to see the former lover appear again. Shocked and indignant, the narrator demands, “How dare you come back?” He feels betrayed, remembers every moment of loneliness, yet discovers that his claim of being over her was a lie.

The song blends frustration and lingering affection. On one hand, our storyteller calls out her fickle loyalty to “the wind” and insists she has no right to “raise the ashes into fire” again. On the other hand, he admits he still cares, sensing that his bravado is crumbling. With catchy folk-pop rhythms and spirited percussion, Morat turns a tale of unresolved love into an anthemic sing-along, inviting listeners to shout their own “¡Cómo te atreves!” while secretly wondering whether they, too, would open the door if the past came knocking.
