Verse 1

You are a ten, but you're still with that guy

Who doesn't even measure up to you, and doesn't seem your type

Lit: That doesn't even reach your feet, and doesn't even seem like your type

Many vacation photos over there in Tulum

Tulum is a town on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula

But I know that your heart doesn't go turum turum

Baby, you're wasting your time

How good that I arrived in time

Chorus 1

Baby, what I was missing was you

You're the tastiest thing on the menu

Tell him to say goodbye

That you're already convinced

Baby, what I was missing was you

You're the tastiest thing on the menu

Tell him to say goodbye

That you're already convinced

And that you already have another man

If you want, tell him my name

That the food gets cold

When it's neglected

Tell him that you have another man

If you want, tell him my name

That the food gets cold

When it's neglected

Eso es, Grupo Frontera, ¡Chau! Y la Doble P = That's it, Grupo Frontera! Hey! And Doble P

Verse 2

Baby, our moment has arrived

He bought you a Rolex, but I gave you my time

He has mansions, but I in my apartment

I made you feel things that the wind doesn't take away

Baby, I'm sorry

But the one who lost

Babe, you're the one who won

You're like a piano that I never play

And if we go far and end up like this

Drinking, dancing

On a little beach without clothes

While your body goes swimming

Chorus 2

Baby, what I was missing was you

You're the tastiest thing on the menu

Tell him to say goodbye

That you're already convinced

Baby, what I was missing was you

You're the tastiest thing on the menu

Tell him to say goodbye

That you're already convinced

Tell him that you have another man

If you want, tell him my name

That the food gets cold

When it's neglected

And that you already have another man

If you want, tell him my name

That the food gets cold

When it's neglected

turum turum — boom boom / thump thump

Turum turum is a fun, onomatopoeic phrase that mimics the sound of a beating heart, similar to 'boom boom' or 'thump thump' in English.

In the song, Peso Pluma sings "tu cora no te hace turum turum" (your heart doesn't go boom boom), cheekily telling a girl that her current boyfriend doesn't excite her or make her heart race. It's a playful and catchy way to talk about romantic chemistry and a perfect example of how sound effects are used in Spanish music.

This song is all about trying to convince someone to leave their rich, but boring, boyfriend. Peso Pluma and Grupo Frontera sing to a woman who is a total "diez" [a ten], but she's with a guy who just isn't on her level. The boyfriend takes her on fancy vacations to places like Tulum, but the singer knows her heart isn't really in it. He says, "sé que tu cora no te hace turum turum" [I know your heart doesn't go boom boom]. It's a great line that gets right to the point: all the money in the world can't buy real excitement.

The singer argues that what he offers is much better. While the other guy has money, he gives her something more valuable. He contrasts them directly: "Él te compró un Rolex, pero yo te di mi tiempo" [He bought you a Rolex, but I gave you my time]. He's confident he can make her feel things that last, even if they're just hanging out in his apartment instead of a mansion. He tells her to just leave the old boyfriend, using the fantastic metaphor, "Que la comida se enfría / Cuando se descuida" [That the food gets cold / When it's neglected]. He's basically saying her boyfriend took her for granted, and now he's here to give her the attention she deserves.
