Intro

Let's join our hands

And let's pray for those who left

Intro

A prayer of faith that there's something beyond

That they're with God

And that one day we'll see each other again

Verse 1

No, you died the day you cheated on me

Even though you're still alive

Verse 1

I prayed you a novena and there's no trace of you

Chorus 1

I buried your love

Twenty feet underground, in a coffin it rotted

All my passion

Like a stone in the sea

It sank along with your betrayal

Chorus 1

I buried your love

You swore me sweet love, but it expired

Because of my outrage

I bathed head-to-toe in ammonia to erase your smell

Oh, ChiChi

Verse 2

I don't mourn treacherous dead

And I stitched up the wound

With a Hail Mary, but I don't pity you

Chorus 2

And I buried your love

Twenty feet underground, in a coffin it rotted

All my passion

Like a stone in the sea

It sank along with your betrayal

Chorus 2

I buried your love

You swore me sweet love, but it expired

Because of my outrage

I bathed head-to-toe in ammonia to erase your smell

Hear the words

Of a man

Who doesn't dress in black for you

You won't forget Romeo

And I don't even remember you

Chorus 3

I buried your love

Twenty feet underground, in a coffin it rotted

All my passion

Like ashes in the sea

It vanished along with your betrayal

Chorus 3

I buried your love

You swore me sweet love, but it expired

Because of my outrage

I bathed head-to-toe in ammonia to erase your smell

SONG MEANING

In "R.I.P.," Romeo Santos throws a full-blown funeral for a love that betrayed him. Instead of mourning gently, he buries every memory 20 feet under, picturing his former passion rotting in a coffin while he prays for the departed. The song turns infidelity into a gothic ceremony where rosaries, Ave Marías, and even a symbolic wash in ammonia help him scrub away the ex-lover’s scent.

Romeo’s vivid imagery lets learners feel the sting of betrayal and the relief of closure at the same time. The repeated lines about "entering your love" and sinking stones highlight how final his decision is: this romance is dead, and there is no resurrection. Although he frames his words within religious rituals, his true sermon is about self-respect. By the end, he confidently claims that he no longer remembers the one who wronged him—a powerful reminder that sometimes the best goodbye is a symbolic RIP.
