Odio - Commentary Lyrics in English Romeo Santos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Odio - Commentary by Romeo Santos from Spanish to English.

Yeah, yeah

Envy is a sign of admiration

Hate: It's the epitome of destruction

It seems

that my love grows and grows

but you fade away

and you offer me your friendship with no other exception

I know that there's another man

who has achieved what I never gave you

a home, a family, a good future

sorry for hurting you

and for you

I live annihilated in heartbreak

repressed, burning with jealousy

I hate him although he makes you happy

to me

nothing scares me but I understand

that he won the war a long time ago

and I forget that I already lost you

I envy his kisses on your body

envy takes control of me like that and I want you here

I hate that man because he's by your side

I lost your love, I'm a poor devil

without your love I'm nothing, nothing

and for you

I live annihilated in heartbreak

repressed, burning with jealousy

I hate him although he makes you happy

to me

nothing scares me but I understand

that he won the war a long time ago

and I forget that I already lost you

listen to the words

Yeah, drizzy Drake

I was the tears, he's your smile

and what we had collapsed over a volcano very quickly

you were the one

You've been the one from the moment I seen you

Sometimes I question if this is all real

Then I grab on that ass and I firmly believe it

And you look like you drawn by an artist

No you, you look like Bernice and Yaris

But both put together, those are some girls that I know from back home

If you saw 'em you'd get it

Look don't worry about it, keep speakin' Spanish

I'll get it translated, you know you my baby

Anything for you, anything baby

I don't wanna be enemies baby

I would just much rather give you a baby

and buy you a house, so I live with you baby

Don't stay with this new guy, I really go crazy

and for you

I live annihilated in heartbreak

repressed, burning with jealousy

I hate him although he makes you happy

to me

nothing scares me but I understand

that he won the war a long time ago

and I forget that I already lost you

SONG MEANING

**“Odio” is a bittersweet confession delivered over smooth bachata guitar and R&B beats. Romeo Santos sings from the raw center of jealousy: he adores the woman he lost, yet he loathes the new man who now gives her the stability Romeo never could. From the very first lines, envy grows like a wildfire. Romeo admits he is “aniquilado en el despecho” - totally destroyed by spite - and every thought of her newfound happiness burns him with regret. The chorus twists the knife: he hates the rival even if that rival makes her smile, and he cannot shake the painful truth that the “war” for her heart ended long ago.

Drake slides in with a slick English verse that mirrors Romeo’s obsession, blending two cultures and two languages into one dramatic plea. His playful bravado (“I would just much rather give you a baby”) only highlights the desperation both men feel. Together they paint a portrait of love’s dark side, where admiration turns to envy, and longing turns to open odio - hate - toward anyone who stands in the way of that impossible second chance. Listeners are left swaying to the rhythm while tasting the sting of a love that slipped through trembling hands.
