Rival Lyrics in English Romeo Santos , Mario Domm
Laberinto translates to "labyrinth" or "maze". It's a captivating and less common word that immediately conjures images of confusion, being lost, and difficulty finding a way out.
In "Rival," Romeo Santos uses this word metaphorically to describe a relationship that has become complex and entrapping. He sings, "Y me perdí en tu laberinto, Del que hoy quiero escapar" (And I got lost in your labyrinth, from which today I want to escape), powerfully conveying the feeling of being trapped and seeking freedom from a toxic situation.
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.
