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

Desquítate — Get even / Take it out on me

Desquítate is a powerful command that means 'get even' or 'take it out on me'. It comes from the reflexive verb desquitarse, which means to get revenge or get back at someone.

In this passionate song, Romeo Santos invites a heartbroken Rosalía to 'desquítate con rabia pasional' (take it out on me with passionate rage). He's telling her to use their encounter to release all the anger from her previous relationship, turning her heartbreak into a form of healing.

This song is a conversation between two people who just got dumped. ROSALÍA kicks things off by saying she's heartbroken because she's in love with someone who doesn't love her back: "estoy enamorada / Y no soy correspondida" (I'm in love / and it's not reciprocated). Romeo Santos jumps in, saying, "Igual que tú, no tengo suerte en el amor" (Just like you, I'm not lucky in love). They find common ground in their misery, agreeing that loving blindly is a bad idea.

Instead of just crying about it, they come up with a plan. They decide to use each other to get over their exes. The chorus is a direct invitation: "Te incito / A aliviarnos las penas y curarnos en la cama" (I invite you / To relieve our sorrows and heal ourselves in bed). Romeo promises to be her "pañuelo" (handkerchief) to dry her tears, and they both offer to be the cure for each other's pain. It's a very practical, if temporary, solution to heartbreak.
