Intro

My singing, my singing is a lament

Oh, because I'm in love

And I'm not reciprocated

I'm shattered inside

Verse 1

A cigarette accompanies me in the abyss

Same as you, I don't have luck in love

Loving blindly removes your power

For the risk to the heart hurting feelings

One Monday he left

At six twenty-four

I was asleep, he didn't say goodbye to me

And today I shed every tear on your chest

You're not him, but I want a kiss

Prechorus 1

I incite you

To relieve our sorrows and heal each other in bed

I admit you

Baby, if you make me forget it, I might return tomorrow

Chorus 1

I assure you, babe, I'll be the handkerchief

Kill the anguish here in my body

Babe, give me a consolation

I'll be the cure, I want your body

Listen to the words of Romeo

Verse 2

There was no message nor was there a note on the table

That bastard only left his chess polo

Loving blindly removes your power

But tonight we'll raise each other to heaven

Prechorus 2

I incite you

To relieve our sorrows and heal each other in bed

I admit you

Baby, if you make me forget it, I might return tomorrow

Chorus 2

I assure you, babe, I'll be the handkerchief

Kill the anguish here in my body

Babe, give me a consolation

I'll be the cure, I want your body

Do you like my bachata, little friend?

Bridge

It's obvious we went through the same

But nobody has died for love

Tonight come, take refuge in my arms

Retaliate with passionate rage

Or: Take your revenge with passionate rage

It's no coincidence that we met

Or: It's not by chance that we have found each other

Prechorus 3

I incite you

To relieve our sorrows and heal each other in bed

I admit you

Baby, if you make me forget it, I might return tomorrow

Chorus 3

I assure you, babe, I'll be the handkerchief

Kill the anguish here in my body

Babe, give me a consolation

I'll be the cure, I want your body

SONG MEANING

“El Pañuelo” unfolds as a late-night confession between two wounded hearts. Romeo Santos and ROSALÍA slip into the roles of recent castaways in love, swapping stories of abandonment ( “Ese cabrón solo dejó su polo chess” ) and the hollow ache that follows. Instead of wallowing, they decide to become each other’s pañuelo—a handkerchief to catch every tear—letting the sensual sway of bachata turn misery into movement. Their duet is playful yet raw, mixing vulnerability (“Amar a ciegas te quita poder”) with a daring proposal: let’s forget our exes under the sheets and dance the pain away.

Beneath the flirtatious back-and-forth, the song delivers an uplifting takeaway: heartbreak may sting, but it is not fatal. By offering comfort, laughter, and a moment of reckless passion, the singers remind us that shared sorrow can morph into shared strength. In the end, “El Pañuelo” is a spicy invitation to wipe your eyes, grab a partner, and let the rhythm of resilience guide you back to joy.
