Verse 1

I can't believe it, the way life is

How the years pass, the years, the years left us wounds

Do you remember that day? The first of March, you were so beautiful

I was just a boy looking for lost songs in my dreams

Chorus 1

And what wouldn't I give?

I'd go back just to live that day again

To dance with you, to take another shot with you

To make love to you like I always wanted

But we're two strangers

And we're drifting apart

Look, what bad luck

We were left with a ring and a signature on a paper

Verse 2

But we're two strangers

Each going their own way

Look, what bad luck

A ring and a signature on a piece of paper

It seems unbelievable, the way life works

How the years pass, the years, the years and left wounds

Do you remember that day? The first of December, you were so beautiful

I was now a man, searching in my dreams for the woman of my life

Chorus 2

And what wouldn't I give?

I'd go back just to live that day again

To dance with you, to take another shot with you

To make love to you like I always wanted

But we're two strangers

And we're drifting apart

Look, what bad luck

We were left with a ring and a signature on a paper

What wouldn't I give?

I'd go back just to live that day again

To dance with you, to take another shot with you

To make love to you like I always wanted

She didn't cook, nor did she clean

Or: I wasn't cooking, I wasn't cleaning either

firma — signature

Firma translates to "signature", a word that isn't common in romantic songs. This makes its use here especially powerful and memorable.

In "Un Papel", Prince Royce sings about a relationship that is reduced to "un anillo y una firma en un papel" (a ring and a signature on a paper). This imagery evokes the cold, formal finality of a divorce, a poignant end to a love story that began years ago.

Un Papel is Prince Royce's bittersweet bachata postcard to a love that time could not protect. Over sensual guitar lines he rewinds the tape to two picture-perfect dates – March 1 and December 1 – when she was tan bonita and he was a dream-chasing kid. Those memories feel so vivid that he would trade anything to dance with her again, down a shot together, and finally love her the way he always imagined. Yet reality crashes in: the years have turned them into strangers, and the only proof that their romance ever existed is a ring and a signature on a sheet of paper.

The song wraps its melancholy in irresistible rhythm, making you sway while you reflect on how easily passion can be reduced to cold paperwork. Royce mourns the distance, marvels at life’s ironic twists, and even pokes fun at domestic shortcomings – she never cooked or cleaned, but the depth of his love remains. Un Papel is a nostalgic reminder that memories can dance in your head long after the music at the wedding has stopped.
