Maybe you can't get it
Maybe you don't catch the story
But there's one thing I can promise you
I don't wanna hurt your life
That love that was fire yesterday
Not even the ashes remain
The kisses were epic
Now it's just swapping spit
I've spent 2 years thinking, stressing
What do I do, oh, to love you again
I gave it my all, yet it was useless
A buried love never blooms again
I tried to force my soul to love you
Threatening my heart with a blade
Like a zombie when you caressed me
You couldn't even wake my flesh
If I could turn back time
I don't have that power
Poor kids, but I don't love you
Romeo, is that the moon crying?
Listen to her!
Cry, Joe, cry
Maybe so I wouldn't let you down
You sensed rehearsed feelings
Scared to hurt you, I faked it
Shame keeps my head down
That love that was fire yesterday
Not even the ashes remain
The kisses were epic
Now it's just swapping spit
I've spent 2 years thinking, stressing
What do I do, oh, to love you again
I gave it my all, yet it was useless
A buried love never blooms again
I tried to force my soul to love you
Threatening my heart with a blade
Like a zombie when you caressed me
You couldn't even wake my flesh
If I could turn back time
I don't have that power
Poor kids, but I don't love you, don't love you
I don't love you
Tell me what to do, oh babe
I don't love you
Maybe with a time machine
I don't love you
Nobody can boss the heart
I don't love you
Hey, I don't wanna cause you pain
I don't love you
Turu-turu, turu-turu
And sadly I'm still
The man of your life!

SONG MEANING

Amor Enterrado is a heartfelt bachata duet where Romeo Santos and Joe Veras confess that some flames can die for good. The singers speak to a partner who is still deeply in love, explaining that their own feelings have turned to ashes. They have tried every trick—forcing their hearts, replaying memories, even imagining time travel—but the spark simply refuses to reignite. Instead of offering false hope, they prefer honesty, knowing that a "buried love" will not rise again.

Between bittersweet guitar riffs and smooth vocal runs, the song touches on guilt, regret, and the fear of hurting someone you once adored. Listeners hear vivid images: kisses that used to feel “epic” now feel like “just sharing saliva,” and a lover who feels like a zombie, untouched by affection. Despite the sorrow, the track reminds us that love cannot be commanded; it lives, fades, or ends on its own terms. The result is a relatable, dance-worthy lesson in accepting the end of a romance—served up with Romeo’s American-Dominican flair and Joe Veras’s classic Dominican touch.
