Verse 1
You didn't want to believe that we hurt each other
I didn't want to think that I could lose you
Today it hurts to pretend that we're two strangers
And only it's okay to talk to you on your birthday
But you and I know that it's for our good
Prechorus 1
If it makes sense again
That I come back to be with you
There will be an insurmountable advantage over others
If it makes sense again
That I come back to be with you
Chorus 1
We won't have to start from zero anymore
Or: We won't have to start from scratch anymore
Because I'm an expert at deciphering you
I know exactly when to give you a kiss
And when to save a kiss and hug you
We won't have to start from zero anymore
Unless you forget me
In that case my only consolation
It will be to hope that if I pray to heaven
Maybe I won't have to start from zero to make you fall in love
Or: Maybe I don't have to start from scratch to make you fall in love
Verse 2
I don't want to get in your calendar anymore
Nor hurt you with some maybe, no
'Hacer daño' literally translates as 'to do damage' and means 'to hurt' / 'to cause pain'
There are many fish in the sea every day
But history has said otherwise
Or: But history has said on the contrary
We both swim in the same aquarium
Or: The two of us swim in the same aquarium
And I know that you see it
Chorus 2
If it makes sense again
That I come back to be with you
We won't have to start from zero anymore
Or: We won't have to start from scratch anymore
Because I'm an expert at deciphering you
I know exactly when to give you a kiss
And when to save a kiss and hug you
We won't have to start from zero anymore
Unless you forget me
In that case my only consolation
It will be to hope that if I pray to heaven
Maybe I won't have to start from zero to make you fall in love
Chorus 3
We won't have to start from zero anymore
Because you were my full stop
I know exactly when to give you a kiss
And when to save a kiss and hug you
We won't have to start from zero anymore
Unless you forget me
In that case my only consolation
It will be to hope that if I pray to heaven
Maybe I won't have to start from zero to make you fall in love
Maybe I won't have to start from zero to make you fall in love

SONG MEANING

In De Cero, Colombian band Morat sings about that awkward limbo after a breakup when both people know they are better apart yet secretly hope for a sequel. The narrator admits that they once hurt each other and now only feel "allowed" to talk on birthdays, but deep inside they believe their shared history is an unbeatable advantage. Why start over with someone new when you already speak your ex’s love language? He proudly calls himself an "expert" at reading her moods—he knows the perfect moment for a kiss or when to swap it for a hug.

The song’s bittersweet charm lies in its mix of realism and optimism. Morat recognizes that moving on is healthy, but also confesses a wish: if they ever cross paths again, they will not have to begin "from zero." The only real fear is being forgotten. Until then, the singer keeps faith that love—and perhaps a little help from the heavens—will grant them another chance to pick up right where the last chorus faded out.
