Baby, I can't forget you

(Portuguese)

I miss you so much

(Portuguese)

But I need to lie

(Portuguese)

Never tell him about us

(Portuguese)

Talk to him, say what's needed

Put the lie in action

Like it was a talent, you're a god at faking

Swear to him that we were just friends

Passing friends and you kept your dignity

Cry to him; if you see him upset, tell him he's the best

The love of your life, your king and your champ

He's got a temper that's hard to tame

Fierce, but you tame him, great actress

Lie to him, you break him with your tender charm

Relax, I'll take your secret to the grave

No doubt, if I claim you, he ends up losing

But if he asks, I was just a rebound buddy

Kitten

(Portuguese)

You're the hot one

(Portuguese)

Cover up, and if he finds proof you put on an act

In the end whatever you say, that fool believes you

Skill of a great woman, you could teach classes on how to cheat

Lie to him, you break him with your tender charm

Relax, I'll take your secret to the grave

No doubt, if I claim her, he ends up losing

But if he asks, I was just a rebound buddy

It doesn't matter if he wants to see me

Don't worry, I'm not that cruel

A gentleman has no memory

Let's play the part

It's our little lie

And I'm not saying anything

Sleep tight, babe

Secret safe with me

Tell him you don't even like me

Because you're loyal

And I give you my word

It's our little lie

And I'm not saying anything

Sleep tight, babe

Secret safe with me

Tell him you don't even like me

Because you're loyal

And I give you my word

SONG MEANING

Picture a late-night phone call, whispered in three languages, where passion and danger tango to the rhythm of bachata. In “El Papel, Pt. 1 (Versión Amante),” Romeo Santos slips into the role of the forbidden lover, coaching his secret partner on how to fool her official boyfriend. The lyrics read like a playbook of deception: cry on cue, praise the other man as “king,” hide every trace of guilt, and treat lying as an art form. Romeo promises to be a perfect gentleman of secrecy, swearing he will “take it to the grave” while fueling the thrill of an undercover romance.

Behind the playful banter and spicy ad-libs, the song explores the messy balance between desire and morality. It asks a cheeky question: How far would you go to keep a love that isn’t yours to claim? By blending Spanish, Portuguese, and English, Romeo captures the universal allure of temptation, reminding listeners that in matters of the heart, everyone has a role to play—and sometimes the most exciting roles are performed in the shadows.
