Verse 1

I discovered our problem

It wasn't the quarantine effect

It was your damn mother, nosy and gossiping

Nosy and gossiping

I, who was so kind

I opened the doors of my home to her

But if I get careless

She makes you want to divorce me

You make me want to divorce

Prechorus 1

And don't tell me mum loves you

Because she has a doctorate in screwing me over

It's obvious, I won your heart

And the blessed witch doesn't want to see us happy

Chorus 1

On her birthday, I'm going to give her a gift

A nice little coffee, but poisoned

When she faints, I put her in my car

And from a cliff down, the devil takes her

Prechorus 2

And don't tell me mum loves you

Because she has a doctorate in screwing me over

It's evident, I won your heart

And the blessed witch doesn't want to see us happy

Chorus 2

On her birthday, I'm going to give her a gift

A nice little coffee, but poisoned

When she faints, I put her in my car

And from a cliff down, the devil takes her

There it is playing

A guitar of limited resources

But many ambitions

Play, Martire!

Verse 3

You

In the middle of this mess

My love, I pity you

But I have grounds

To confront your mom

And end her curse

And since the old woman doesn't leave

I have to plot my plan

Or: My plan I have to devise

She comes

Chorus 3

On her birthday, I'm going to give her a gift

A nice little coffee, but poisoned

When she faints, I put her in my car

And from a cliff down, the devil takes her

SONG MEANING

Romeo Santos turns a classic family headache into a spicy bachata tale. In “Suegra,” the singer realizes that quarantine was never the real problem in his love life—the true culprit is his meddling, gossip-loving mother-in-law. Romeo’s narrator vents with dramatic flair, calling her a “bruja” who is determined to break the couple apart. He even daydreams about serving her poisoned coffee and tossing her off a cliff, all while silky guitar riffs keep the mood playful rather than sinister.

The lyrics are exaggerated, tongue-in-cheek, and totally telenovela-worthy. Beneath the dark humor lies a relatable theme: how outside interference can test a relationship’s strength. Listeners can laugh, dance, and maybe even nod in sympathy as Romeo mixes romantic devotion, frustration, and a dash of mischievous fantasy into one irresistible bachata groove.
