Celos is the Spanish word for "jealousy", a powerful emotion that's central to many dramatic stories. It's a fantastic word for expressing the complicated feelings that come with love and heartbreak.
In the song, Rauw Alejandro sings "Aquellos celos tan intensos que sentí por ti" (That intense jealousy I felt for you). He uses this word to confess the raw, overwhelming passion he felt, adding a layer of drama to this story of unrequited love.
Ever been caught in the middle of someone else's drama? In this track, Puerto Rican star Rauw Alejandro sings to a woman who has gone back to her ex. He's realized he was just a pawn in her game. He sings, "Yo solamente fui la excusa para hacerle ver / Que tú podías, si querías, vivir sin su amor" (I was only the excuse to make him see / That you could, if you wanted, live without his love). Ouch. He was just a tool to make her old boyfriend jealous.
The problem is, while she was playing, he developed real feelings. He admits, "No me di cuenta de ese juego y me enamoré" (I didn't realize it was a game and I fell in love). He even apologizes for the intense jealousy he felt, knowing now that it was a one-sided romance. The song is a classic story of getting your heart broken when you realize you were just a temporary fix for someone who was never really available.
