Hey, hi, sorry about the time

I know it's wrong, but after four drinks

I always look for you, it's always the same

I can't shake the idea of fighting because it's obvious

that we still have a couple of pending matters

I just can't forget what we could've been

What a shame about the life we could've had

Hey, how do I go back?

I'm dying to come back

to those times when I wasn't your ex

I just can't forget what we could've been

What a shame about the life we could've had

Hey, how do I go back?

I'm dying to come back

to those times when I wasn't your ex

I'm drunk, babe, I don't know when it'll end

Thinking about what was, thinking about what's happening

If you're fine, why did everything end badly?

If, like Anitta, I was your original

Babe, remembering Guatapé

When you'd tell me, 'boy', how you saw me

Nobody sees me, now I ask myself what happened

Why are you leaving? Come back

Babe, tell me, what's up?

What am I gonna do if you're not here?

I want to see you again, I can't imagine

the day you're no longer here, I can't see you anymore

I just can't forget what we could've been

What a shame about the life we could've had

Hey, how do I go back?

I'm dying to come back

to those times when I wasn't your ex

Again, when I'm drinking I end up remembering the sweet taste of your mouth

Again I think of you, my heart in pieces shatters

I can't go on like this, if my life with you is something else

What do I do living it without you? It's like feeling the thorn of a rose

It's hard

Seeing you happy without me is so hard

Why pretend? If I see your photo, I do regret it

for not giving my hundred percent

I don't know what I can come up with now, to try again, and by the way

I just can't forget what we could've been

What a shame about the life we could've had

Hey, how do I go back?

I'm dying to come back

to those times when I wasn't your ex

arrepiento — I regret

Arrepiento comes from the reflexive verb arrepentirse, meaning 'to regret' or 'to repent'. Learning reflexive verbs is a key step in mastering Spanish, and this one is packed with emotion.

In the song, the singer admits, "Si veo tu foto, sí me arrepiento de no haber dado mi cien por ciento" (If I see your photo, yes I regret not having given my 100 percent). This single word captures the entire theme of the song: looking back with nostalgia and regret, wishing you could go back and do things differently.

This song is one big, late-night phone call to an ex, and it's full of regret. The singer has had a few drinks, or as he says, "después de cuatro copas" [after four drinks], and now he's calling the one person he can't forget. He knows it's wrong, but he can't help himself. He feels like they have unfinished business and is completely stuck on the amazing life they could have had together. The chorus is just heartbreakingly direct: "Estoy muriéndome por volver / A aquellos tiempos cuando yo no era tu ex" [I'm dying to go back / To those times when I wasn't your ex].

He gets really specific with his memories, even name-dropping a beautiful town in Colombia, Guatapé, where they once were happy. But now, seeing her happy with someone else is "tan difícil" [so difficult]. He admits his own mistakes, confessing that he regrets "De no haber dado mi cien por ciento" [not having given my one hundred percent]. The whole song is a desperate plea, a wish to turn back time and fix what he broke.
