SANTAL 33 Lyrics in English by Peso Pluma, Óscar Maydon
Rompecorazones is a powerful compound word, literally combining rompe (from the verb 'to break') and corazones (hearts). It's a fantastic example of how Spanish can create new, expressive nouns.
In the song, this word is used to paint a picture of the artist's lifestyle. It evokes a world of fleeting romances and emotional danger, contributing to the cool, detached persona projected in the lyrics. This single, dramatic word perfectly captures a key theme of the track.
Mexican singer Peso Pluma and Óscar Maydon kick this track off by name-dropping every luxury item they can reach: Le Labo's cult fragrance Santal 33, a Porsche Cayenne, and hyped Travis Scott sneakers ("Los Travis me los puse ahora" [I put on my Travis Scotts right now]). They even throw in some playful French—"Bonjour mademoiselle, j'suis équipé" [Hello miss, I'm well-equipped]—while sipping rosé on a private jet. Then comes the sports boast: Peso compares himself to soccer star Kylian Mbappé, claiming that by age twenty-three he was already celebrating big wins ("Y como Mbappé a mis veintitrés / También festejé con las copas" [And like Mbappé at twenty-three, I also celebrated with trophies]). Still, despite all the flash, the girl in the song is thoroughly unimpressed by the flex ("Mis lujos a ella no le asombran" [My luxuries do not impress her]).
That tension rolls straight into the bedroom. The lyrics leave zero ambiguity about their casual arrangement: "sabes bien que no somos amigos / Estamos aquí porque los dos quisimos" [you know well that we aren't friends / We are here because we both wanted to be]. Things take a slightly darker, funny turn when Óscar Maydon notices her staring nervously at his weapons ("Le asustan mis armas / Lo noto en tu cara" [My weapons scare her / I can tell by your face]), only to tell her to relax because he puts them away when he is around her. Between mentions of shipping containers, heartbreak, and pure adrenaline, it is a restless, boastful rush through fast living and no-strings-attached lust.
