Rival Lyrics in English Romeo Santos , Mario Domm

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rival by Romeo Santos from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
A minute of silence is what I'm asking for
A minute of your time wouldn't be too much
So that today you find out
That my soul is no longer dying
Verse 1
You were absolutely wrong
Don't even try to come back
Chorus 1
I'd rather live a thousand years without you
Than an eternity going through it like this
You were the love of my life
And talking to you straight I'm not gonna lie
And I don't care about what I can feel
This is a storm and it'll continue
It's like sinking into the sea
It'd be a bit absurd, a fatal ending
Why keep causing harm?
Chorus 1
Living like this by your side isn't normal
I look for peace and you're a storm
I'd rather give up and end it
I don't wanna be your rival anymore
Verse 2
Many years have gone by and I've been holding on
Until I erased the taste of happiness
You kept turning me into your enemy
Being the one to blame
Verse 2
And I got lost in your labyrinth
That I want to escape from today
Chorus 2
I'd rather live a thousand years without you
Than an eternity going through it like this
You were the love of my life
Talking to you straight I'm not gonna lie
And I don't care about what I can feel
This is a storm and it'll continue
It's like sinking into the sea
It'd be a bit absurd, a fatal ending
Why keep causing harm?
Chorus 2
Living like this by your side isn't normal
I look for peace and you're a storm
I'd rather give up and end it
I don't wanna be your rival anymore
I don't wanna be your rival anymore
I don't wanna be your rival anymore
This is a storm and it'll continue
It's like sinking into the sea
It'd be a bit absurd, fatal ending
Why keep causing harm?
Chorus 2
Living like this by your side isn't normal
I look for peace and you're a storm
I'd rather give up and end it
I don't wanna be your rival anymore
I don't wanna be your rival anymore
I don't wanna be your rival anymore

SONG MEANING

Rival is a dramatic duet where Romeo Santos and Mario Domm turn heartbreak into a powerful declaration of self-respect. The singers ask for “un minuto de silencio” to announce a final verdict: the relationship has become a storm that drowns them rather than a safe harbor. Once madly in love, they now see each other as opponents; living together feels like “hundirse en el mar”. Instead of clinging to an eternal struggle, they choose peace, even if it means spending “a thousand years” alone.

Behind the soaring vocals and bachata-pop fusion lies a lesson about knowing when to walk away. The song reminds us that love should not turn us into enemies, and sometimes the bravest act is surrendering the fight. By repeating “No quiero ser más tu rival”, the artists invite listeners to recognize toxic patterns, set healthy boundaries, and seek calm after the storm.
