Promitiste Lyrics in English pepe aguilar

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, though, have been mistaken
I was sure that my place was by your side
Until today I've kept it that way
But you forgot that you promised
That you'd 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 the good and the bad, you'd give me your warmth
You forgot that you stole my heart
You tell me there's no turning back
You'll always be incompatible with me
And that we don't share any goal
If it's like that, let it be clear
That all of this would've been avoided
If you had always spoken to me with the truth
Because I, though, have been mistaken
I was sure that my place was by your side
You can see I've kept my word
But you forgot that you promised
That you'd 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 the good and the bad, you'd give me your warmth
You forgot that you stole my heart
That you promised
Stay a little longer
You'd never leave me
You forgot that you promised
That you'd 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 the good and the bad you'd 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.
