“Tarde” is a bittersweet confession of bad timing. The Colombian band Morat slips into the shoes of someone who cannot shake an old love, checking the phone for any hint that the ex might be single again. He has text messages drafted, memories on replay and an open door at home — yet each time he finally works up the courage to show up, he discovers she has already found someone else. Watching her dance with another “arde” (it burns), but what aches even more is realizing that the perfect moment to win her back always passes a few minutes before he arrives.
The chorus drives home the frustration of forever being “tarde” — late to comfort her tears, late to spark a new beginning, late to everything that matters. While the music keeps an upbeat folk-pop energy, the lyrics paint a picture of longing, regret and the cruel difference between being ready and being on time. In short, “Tarde” is the anthem for anyone who has loved fiercely, planned every word in advance and still missed their chance by one heartbreaking instant.
