Tu Enemigo Lyrics in English Pablo López , Juanes

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Enemigo by Pablo López from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Under the gray shadow of another mountain
Drinking without permission from another river
Feeding the monster of rage
Your enemy
Whoever comes to your country to desecrate you
Whoever steps on the city without your permission
Whoever will take your things off the street
Your enemy
Chorus 1
If these idiots only knew
That I am the richest man in the world like this
Living off your hugs
They forgot that man is nothing but a man
That your hands are my flag
And that I have a song as a border
Verse 2
Don't ask me why I've come
Ask yourself instead how you've arrived
You may be the son of some slave's son
Come and speak face-to-face to your enemy
Come and speak face-to-face to your enemy
Verse 2
Guilty of love, work, and land
Guilty of love, work, and land
Verse 2
Guilty of living on the road because of your war
Chorus 2
If these idiots only knew
That I am the richest man in the world like this
Living off your hugs
They forgot that man is nothing but a man
That your hands are my flag
And that I have a song as a border
If these idiots only knew
That I am the richest man in the world like this
Living off your hugs
They forgot that man is nothing but a man
That your hands are my flag
And that I have a song as a border
A song
No, no, no, no, no
A song

SONG MEANING

Tu Enemigo is a powerful anthem that flips the idea of “us versus them” on its head. Pablo López and Juanes sing from the viewpoint of someone unfairly labeled the enemy: an immigrant, a stranger, a person who simply crossed an invisible line. Instead of answering hate with more hate, the singer reveals a surprising truth – he feels like “the richest man in the world” whenever he receives a hug. Borders dissolve, flags turn into caring hands, and the only real frontier left is a shared song.

Behind the catchy melody lies a clear message: fear and prejudice are the true monsters, not the people we call outsiders. The lyrics invite listeners to speak “face to face” with those they mistrust, to remember that “man is nothing more than a man,” and to realize that love, work, and land are universal rights. In short, the song is a warm reminder that our greatest wealth is our capacity for empathy and that music itself can build the bridge no wall can block.
