Intro

This is our thing, I don't think they understand it

This is our thing, this is our thing

This is our thing, I don't think they understand it

Verse 1

Love is so short and forgetting so long

Sometimes, sometimes I get up on the wrong foot

Without looking back, everyone followed their path

This is our thing

Like the leaves and the wind, your memory comes and goes

And I bet, also, that the same thing, my girl, happens to you

How many moons contemplating your nakedness?

Hearing your name is a feeling that doesn't heal

And I continue healing myself, healing myself

Prechorus 1

Why I

Can't have her?

My God

Help me, 'cause I

Chorus 1

I go from bed to bed looking for her and I can't find her

I'm still with my bandits until we run out of time

I have my eye on you

I'm paying attention to your moves

There are problems, and more money and we have an agreement

Verse 2

On the streets

There are eyes that cry tears of sorrow

The difference is that some look inward others outward

We have to talk about a couple of issues that we haven't discussed

Let the next problem come

That the one from yesterday still hasn't knocked me down

Prechorus 2

Why I

Can't have her?

My God

Help me, 'cause I

Chorus 2

I go from bed to bed looking for her and I can't find her

I'm still with my bandits until we run out of time

I have my eye on you

I'm paying attention to your moves

There are problems, and more money and we have an agreement

And we have an agreement

Outro 1

This is our thing, I don't think they understand it

This is our thing, this is our thing

This is our thing, I don't think they understand it

This is WVOZ AM

In all of Puerto Rico

It's exactly 4:20 in the afternoon

Outro 2

The next artist that I want to introduce

He's one of the most beloved singers

On the entire island and in the entire world

Now a sought-after bachelor

Today he presents the album Cosa Nuestra

With you, Raúl Alejandro

SONG MEANING

Cosa Nuestra feels like being handed a private invitation to Rauw Alejandro’s inner circle. With the mantra “Esto es cosa nuestra, no creo que lo entiendan,” the Puerto Rican star lays down a secret code: outsiders will never get the full story. Over lively salsa horns and percussion, he mourns a love that burned fast and left a long shadow, borrowing Neruda’s idea that “love is short and forgetting is long.” Memories drift in and out “como las hojas y el viento,” and every time he hears her name, the wound reopens.

At the same time, Rauw keeps one eye on the streets. Surrounded by his “bandoleros,” he makes deals, counts money, and watches rivals while hopping from bed to bed in a search that never satisfies. This clash of tenderness and toughness captures the dual heartbeat of Caribbean urban life: romance and danger dancing side by side. Beneath the irresistible groove, the song whispers that some stories stay locked behind closed doors, understood only by those who share the code—la cosa nuestra.
