Verse 1
You cried first
And although I came to regret
It was already three months too late
But let's be honest
I didn't want to say goodbye
And you didn't want to forget me
Prechorus 1
I'm so regretful, so regretful
Because I was a coward who out of pride is not with you
I'm so regretful, so regretful
Chorus 1
I know that they don't scare you anymore with my name
And surely you don't hide a sigh if you see me
I know that your memory is failing
And at worst our story doesn't hang anymore from a maybe
But if everything goes well
I won't have more nightmares
Or: I won't have nightmares anymore
Nor scraped knees for begging at your feet
And if you dare to come back
You'll remember without me telling you
That I never forgot you
Verse 2
I'll never hide that it was my mistake
Because I became deaf to your voice
And when I needed it, it was gone
I thought that there was nothing to lose
But I was blind not to understand
That's how I lost the right to your gaze
Prechorus 2
I'm so regretful, so regretful
Because I was a coward who out of pride is not with you
I'm so regretful, so regretful
Chorus 2
I know that they don't scare you anymore with my name
And surely you don't hide a sigh if you see me
I know that your memory is failing
And at worst our story doesn't hang anymore from a maybe
But if everything goes well
I won't have more nightmares
Nor scraped knees for begging at your feet
And if you dare to come back
You'll remember without me telling you
That I never forgot you
That I never, never, never forgot you
That I never forgot you
Verse 3
For saving myself an I love you
I didn't count the scars that it was going to cost to wait for you
But let's be honest
I didn't want to say goodbye
And you didn't want to forget me
Chorus 3
I know that they don't scare you anymore with my name
And surely you don't hide a sigh if you see me
I know that your memory is failing
And at worst our story doesn't hang anymore from a maybe
But if everything goes well
I won't have more nightmares
Nor scraped knees for begging at your feet
And if you dare to come back
You'll remember without me telling you
That I never forgot you

arrepentidorepentant / regretful

Arrepentido means deeply regretful or repentant, and it's packed with intense emotion. It's a more powerful and specific term than the common lo siento, as it conveys a profound sense of remorse and guilt for a past action.

In this song, the singer repeatedly emphasizes "Estoy tan arrepentido" (I am so regretful) for letting his pride and cowardice ruin the relationship. This word is the emotional core of the entire song, capturing the painful realization of having made an irreversible mistake, making it a very compelling word to learn.

Have you ever messed something up so badly that you wish you could turn back time? That's exactly where Morat is in this song. The singer is filled with regret over a breakup that happened three months ago, and he's finally admitting it was all his fault. He calls himself a "cobarde que por orgullo no está contigo" (a coward who isn't with you because of pride). He confesses that even though she cried first, neither of them really wanted to break up: "Yo no quería despedirme / Y tú no querías olvidarme" (I didn't want to say goodbye / And you didn't want to forget me).

Now, he's desperately hoping it's not too late. He imagines that maybe she's starting to forget him, that their story "ya no cuelga de un tal vez" (no longer hangs on a maybe). But he's still holding out hope, dreaming of a future where he won't have "raspadas las rodillas por rogar ante tus pies" (scraped knees from begging at your feet). His final plea is simple and powerful: if she just dares to come back, she'll realize he never, ever forgot her.
