Montón Lyrics in English by Novio
Montón literally means "a heap" or "a pile," but it's very commonly used in Spanish to mean "a lot" or "a great deal." It's a versatile word that adds emphasis.
In this song, the artist sings, "Mi corazón te va a agradecer Un MONTÓN" (My heart is going to thank you A LOT). It's an interesting choice because it's a common, yet impactful, way to express gratitude with intensity, making the emotion feel more genuine and relatable.
Novio's song "Montón" is a super relatable track about trying to move on from a past love, but it's proving to be really tough! The singer has been looking for their ex, but the ex doesn't even know it: "Te he buscado / Pero ni te has enterado" [I've looked for you / But you haven't even found out]. They thought they were a team, "Éramos dos aliados" [We were two allies], but the ex went back to their old ways, or maybe even an old flame. The singer's friends have seen the ex with someone else, "Te vieron con él de la mano" [They saw you with him hand in hand], which has left their heart in a million pieces, reminding them that they still love this person.
The chorus is where the real struggle comes out. The singer says that if the ex doesn't reappear, their heart will actually thank them "Un MONTÓN" [A LOT]. This is a bit of a sarcastic twist, because they immediately follow it up by admitting, "Porque no hay día nena / Que no piense en las maneras / En que me entregabas tu amor" [Because there isn't a day, babe / That I don't think about the ways / You gave me your love]. So, while they say their heart will be grateful for the ex staying away, they're clearly still completely consumed by memories of the love they shared. It's a really honest look at how hard it is to let go, even when you know you probably should.
