Borrador Lyrics in English Prince Royce

Home / Lyrics Translation / Prince Royce / Borrador

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Borrador by Prince Royce from Spanish to English.

If I could forget you

I assure you that I'd do it without thinking right now

If I could walk away

I swear to you, I would start from zero with a new love

Tell me if truly you dare to let go of the hands of this love

Tell me if you've got the courage to shut the door on me and tell us 'Good-bye'

Don't deny it, you lie to me when you say

That you'll be able to erase everything that I did

Tell me if you

Would burn so many pages written by this author

Of the story of our love

Tell me if you

Would erase the messages that I used to send you at night

That said 'Baby, I love you'

I'm sure you'll be able to erase them

But you won't be able to erase even a single kiss that I left on your lips

Royce

Tell me if truly you dare to let your hands loose from this love

Tell me if you've got the courage to shut the door on me and tell us 'Good-bye'

Don't deny it, you lie to me when you say

That you'll be able to erase everything that I did

Tell me if you

Would burn so many pages written by this author

Of the story of our love

Tell me if you

Would erase the messages that I used to send you at night

That said 'Baby, I love you'

I'm sure you'll be able to erase them

But you won't be able to erase even a single kiss that I left on your lips

Oh, don't leave, my love

From yourself you won't be able to erase

Nothing, nothing, nothing

quemarías — you would burn

Quemarías comes from the verb quemar (to burn) and is used here in the conditional tense, meaning "you would burn."

Prince Royce asks, "¿Quemarías tantas páginas escritas…?" (Would you burn so many written pages…?), creating a striking image of setting memories ablaze to start over. Its fiery metaphor plus the less-common conditional form make this word both dramatic and pedagogically rich for learners.

Borrador (Spanish for eraser / rough draft) finds Prince Royce wrestling with a breakup that refuses to be wiped clean. Over a smooth bachata groove, he dares his ex to hit the delete key on their romance: erase the texts, burn the pages, slam the door. Yet every challenge comes with a confident wink. Go ahead, he says, just try. Those late-night messages can vanish, but the kisses he left on her lips are indelible.

At its heart, the song is a playful tug-of-war between forgetting and remembering. Royce admits he would start fresh “sin pensarlo” if he could, but love has already left its permanent ink. By framing the relationship as a story written by an “autor,” he turns heartache into art, reminding listeners that some memories outlast even the strongest eraser.
