Me Extraño Lyrics in English Romeo Santos , Christian Nodal

Home / Lyrics Translation / Romeo Santos / Me Extraño

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Me Extraño by Romeo Santos from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

You make her happy

How long is she sleeping?

With me her smile went on vacation

Don't feel that I envy you

You have a big admirer

I am telling you the truth

It was her that I lied to

When I whispered to her that she would always be mine

And it's f*cked up to be totally mistaken

I took her dress off sixty times a month

I was just like you

When I won her over

That even I surprise myself

Chorus 1

Today I thank you

For changing that tenderness that worked for you at the start

What a good move

Because all your flaws make me look perfect

Today I thank you

I became her heaven

Her escape from your hell

It seems unreal

That I thawed her lips

From how cold your kisses were

I acknowledge the damage

I used to be like you and that's why I surprise myself

He's the boy of the poems

And I roll with

Christian Nodal

Verse 2

Neither my arrogance nor my ego

Keep me from understanding

That in my hands the most beautiful flower

Easily spoils

Your mistakes weren't in vain

Let's toast, I’m buying the drinks

Cheers to what you've neglected

It's thanks to you that I have her by my side

I have to applaud that she's yours even though it's hard to believe

Today I thank you

For changing that tenderness that worked for you at the start

What a good move

Because all your flaws make me look perfect

Chorus 2

Today I thank you

I became her heaven

When she escaped from your hell

It seems unreal

That I thawed her lips

From how cold your kisses were

I acknowledge the damage

I used to be like you and that's why I surprise myself

SONG MEANING

Imagine thanking your partner’s ex for messing up so badly that she ended up happier with you. That is exactly the cheeky premise of Me Extraño, where Romeo Santos and Christian Nodal raise a glass to the other guy’s mistakes. The narrator admits he once treated the woman carelessly too, yet seeing her glow in the present makes him miss (“extrañar”) his old reckless self. It is a playful blend of bragging and self-reflection: he confesses past lies, praises her new smile, and jokingly congratulates the ex for turning her “cold kisses” into the warm affection she now gives.

Bachata superstar Romeo Santos (born in the United States with Dominican roots) joins forces with Mexican regional idol Christian Nodal, fusing silky Caribbean guitar with mariachi-flavored brass. Together they spin a story where heartbreak turns into triumph, guilt meets gratitude, and every flaw of the rival only highlights the singer’s “perfect” love. It is a witty reminder that sometimes the best revenge is simply being the better partner—and enjoying the music while you’re at it.
