Verse 1

It seems like a lie, the things in life

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 I wouldn't give

For that day to repeat, I would go back

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

They left us a ring and a signature on a paper

Verse 2

But we're two strangers

Each on their own side

Look, what bad luck

A ring and a signature on a paper

It seems like a lie, the things of life

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 had become a man looking for the woman of my life in my dreams

Chorus 2

And what I wouldn't give

For that day to repeat, I would go back

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

They left us a ring and a signature on a paper

Outro

What I wouldn't give

For that day to repeat, I would go back

To dance with you, to take another shot with you

To make love to you like I always wanted

I didn't cook nor did I clean

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

So much that I loved you and it's not forgotten

SONG MEANING

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.
