Lo primero que perdí fue la concentración cuando llegaste
The first thing I lost was concentration when you arrived
Lo segundo que perdí fue el miedo que tenía de acercarme
The second thing I lost was the fear I had of approaching
Lo tercero que perdí fueron los nervios de besarme contigo
The third thing I lost was the nerves of kissing you
Y perdí la libertad en el momento en el que fuimos más que amigos
And I lost my freedom the moment we were more than friends
Entre las cosas que perdí, perdí
Among the things that I lost, I lost
Fui perdiendo la noción del tiempo
I was losing track of time
Perdí el control estando entre tus besos
I lost control being between your kisses
Poco a poco perdí la cabeza por ti
Little by little I lost my mind for you
De las cosas que perdí
Of the things I lost
Lento me fui perdiendo en ti
Slowly I got lost in you
Ya que estaba entre tus manos
Since it was in your hands
Tardaste dos segundos en fallarme
It took you two seconds to fail me
Y en menos de un segundo
And in less than a second
Fui corriendo a perdonarte
I ran to forgive you
Y fue entonces que empecé a ganar a diario
And that's when I started earning daily
Más inseguridades
More insecurities
Y ganó la realidad cuando descubrí tus infidelidades
And reality won when I discovered your infidelities
Y entre las cosas que perdí, perdí
And among the things that I lost, I lost
Y de las que más duelen, fue mi tiempo
And of those that hurt the most, it was my time
Perdí el control estando entre tus besos
I lost control being between your kisses
Poco a poco perdí la cabeza por ti
Little by little I lost my mind for you
Pero un día aprendí
But one day I learned
Que hay que perder para seguir la vida
What do you have to lose to continue life?
Que hay que soltar para sanar la herida
What do you have to let go of to heal the wound?
Me costó pero al fin te arranqué de raíz
It cost me but in the end I uprooted you
De las cosas que perdí, perdí
Of the things I lost, I lost
Perdí el temor que salgas de mi vida
I lost the fear that you would leave my life
Abrí los ojos, no sé qué te veía
I opened my eyes, I don't know what I saw in you
Poco a poco volvió mi corazón a latir
Little by little my heart started beating again
Y al final yo comprendí
And in the end I understood
Que no te necesito para ser feliz
I don't need you to be happy
Y el día que más gané en la vida
And the day I won the most in my life
Fue el día en que te perdí
It was the day I lost you

arranqué de raízuprooted

Arranqué de raíz literally translates to "I pulled out from the root." It's a strong, evocative phrase that goes beyond a simple "I got over you."

In the song, it signifies a complete and decisive removal of someone from one's life, like pulling a plant out entirely so it can't grow back. This powerful imagery conveys the depth of the healing process and the finality of the breakup, making it a memorable and impactful choice.

Río Roma's "Las Cosas Que Perdí" is a really honest look at falling in love and then falling out of it, or rather, being pushed out. It starts with the singer describing how quickly they lost themselves in a new relationship. They lost their "concentración cuando llegaste" [concentration when you arrived], then their fear, and even their nerves about kissing. Soon, they "perdí la libertad en el momento en el que fuimos más que amigos" [lost freedom the moment we were more than friends], and even "perdí el control estando entre tus besos" [lost control while in your kisses]. It's a relatable feeling of being completely swept away!

But then the song takes a turn, and it gets a bit heartbreaking. The singer admits, "Tardaste dos segundos en fallarme / Y en menos de un segundo / Fui corriendo a perdonarte" [It took you two seconds to fail me / And in less than a second / I ran to forgive you]. This leads to gaining "más inseguridades" [more insecurities] and discovering "tus infidelidades" [your infidelities]. Ouch! However, the song ends on a powerful note of self-discovery and strength. The singer realizes, "hay que perder para seguir la vida / Que hay que soltar para sanar la herida" [you have to lose to continue life / That you have to let go to heal the wound]. Ultimately, they understand "Que no te necesito para ser feliz / Y el día que más gané en la vida / Fue el día en que te perdí" [That I don't need you to be happy / And the day I gained the most in life / Was the day I lost you]. It's a journey from losing oneself to finding true happiness after a painful breakup.
