Cosas De La Peda Lyrics in English Prince Royce , Gabito Ballesteros
Peda is a very common slang term in Mexico for a drunken party, or more generally, the state of being drunk. The song's title, 'Cosas De La Peda', translates to 'Things That Happen When You're Drunk'.
In the song, the artists sing about the regrettable (and relatable) things people do under the influence, like texting an ex. Learning slang like peda is a great way to understand informal conversations and the real-life culture behind the language.
Cosas De La Peda plunges us into that all-too-relatable moment when a birthday text from an ex reopens every wound. Over a smooth Regional Mexican groove, Prince Royce and Gabito Ballesteros trade confessions that feel half-spoken into a shot glass: “Te extraño, pero borracho no me duele tanto.” In other words, they miss their former lover, but liquor dulls the sting. The song turns the nightclub, the bar, even the morning after into stages for denial and vulnerable honesty, mixing corridos, tumbados, and references to Selena to paint a vivid picture of modern heartbreak.
Behind the catchy melody lies a tug-of-war between pride and longing. Both singers pretend they have moved on—bragging about new flings and late-night parties—yet every drunk text and voicemail reveals the truth: one “¿cómo has estado?” could pull them right back. The result is a playful, bittersweet anthem that says, “I am fine without you… unless I hear from you,” capturing the messy reality of love, loss, and the little “cosas de la peda” we do to survive it.
