Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Promitiste by pepe aguilar from Spanish to English.

Stay a little longer

It's still not time to board

And listen to these words as a goodbye

Why can't you explain to me?

Why did you stop loving me?

Or was everything always a lie?

Because I, well, I have been wrong

I had the certainty that my place was by your side

Until today I fulfilled that

But you forgot that you promised

That you would never leave me

That without me there was no reason to keep living, no

You forgot that you promised

To love me until the end of time

In good times and bad, you would give me your warmth

You forgot that you stole my heart

You tell me that there is no turning back

Incompatible to me you will always be

And that we have no common goal

If that's the case, let it be clear

That all this could have been avoided

If you had always spoken to me honestly

Because I, well, I have been wrong

I had the certainty that my place was by your side

You see that I did fulfill

But you forgot that you promised

That you would never leave me

That without me there was no reason to keep living, no

You forgot that you promised

To love me until the end of time

In good times and bad, you would give me your warmth

You forgot that you stole my heart

That you promised

Stay a little longer

You would never leave me

You forgot that you promised

That you would never leave me

That without me there was no reason to keep living, no

You forgot that you promised

To love me until the end of time

In good times and bad, you would give me your warmth

You forgot that you stole my heart

That you promised

SONG MEANING

Prometiste invites us to an emotional scene at a boarding gate where time feels frozen. Pepe Aguilar’s narrator pleads “Quédate un poquito más” while trying to understand how a once-passionate love turned into a painful goodbye. Doubt and disbelief hover in every question he asks: Was their romance ever real? When did the love disappear? The setting captures that universal, aching moment when someone you thought was your forever suddenly walks away.

The heart of the song is a roll-call of broken promises. The singer remembers that his partner swore to:

never leave him,
have no reason to live without him,
love him until the end of time,
offer warmth in good times and bad.

Every pledge has been forgotten, leaving him with a “robbed” heart. By balancing tender mariachi melodies with raw lyrics, Aguilar paints heartbreak as both intimate and dramatic, turning a personal farewell into a relatable lesson about trust, honesty, and the weight of words we give to the ones we love.
