Verse 1

Mom says that all my mistakes serve as a lesson

The doctor alarms me, my health goes from bad to worse

By the way, the psychiatrist, in my opinion

He doesn't know sh*t about love

I've even thought that from so much praying

I've overwhelmed God

Chorus 1

And no, my faith is in danger of extinction

You are the antidote to my pain

Help, Cinderella, I ask you to have mercy

Mercy for my offenses

Forgive me, for all the heartbreaks, it was my mistake

Faith moves mountains, but I

I spent all my patience, promises, abstinence

I still see your suitcases

Throw this coin to the wind

Heads or tails, you leave, you stay

Put my faith in this coin

Verse 2

Dad says that men don't cry

Rules of being a man

That being unfaithful, lying to women

It's a condition

If the old man found out

With my tears, there wouldn't be drought in a village

And that lying to you was harmful and poisonous

I don't share his opinion

Chorus 2

And no, my faith is in danger of extinction

You are the antidote to my pain

Help, Cinderella, I ask you to have mercy

Mercy for my offenses

Forgive me, for all the heartbreaks, it was my mistake

Faith moves mountains, but I

I spent all my patience, promises, abstinence

I still see your suitcases

Throw this coin to the wind

Heads or tails, you leave, you stay

Put my faith in this coin

Cry, guitar, cry

Bridge

Sorry

Into the abyss, without you I'm falling

I'm consuming myself, oh no

Don't pretend that I want this life without your love

Outro 1

And no, don't leave me so alone

Taking away all my love

Because then my life is a conflict

Sorry, I need compassion, beautiful babe, don't go

I know that I've lied a lot but give me your forgiveness

Outro 2

And no, you know well that I love you, that I adore you, for you I cry

If you leave, you'll see me in the news for killing myself because of your love

Sorry, give me a chance I beg you

In this coin I put my faith and heart

SONG MEANING

Centavito whirls us into Romeo Santos’ signature mix of velvet bachata rhythms and soap-opera drama. The narrator is a man on the brink: doctors predict bad health, a psychiatrist offers no cure, and even his prayers feel ignored. He admits that every lie and betrayal is catching up with him, turning his faith, sanity, and body into collateral damage. In this storm of guilt he clings to one lifesaver—his lover—calling her the only antidote to his pain.

The tiny coin in the title becomes his desperate roulette wheel. Flipping that “centavito,” he asks fate—heads or tails—whether she will stay or leave. The song pokes at macho expectations (“Papá dice que los hombres no lloran”) only to shatter them with raw tears and pleas for mercy. Romeo merges cultural commentary with heart-on-sleeve confession, reminding listeners that sometimes a single penny’s toss holds the weight of love, redemption, and life itself.
