I am already tired of writing and not meeting
Of just talking
Romanticizing
Soon we will lose signal
You already started
to break up
When can it be
that we kiss in the street
and that everybody can see us
and that they catch us grinding in the bars?
It can never be
Why are you still with him?
Where can it be
that your red hair is the grip?
and at dawn
manners come back and get lost again
It is not going to be here
Why are you still with him?
Not once did we do anything better
than talk about what you would do
if the one in the photo were me
when you told him that you were chatting with Sofía
You also lied to me that you were hanging out with Lucía
But, the truth, I never believed you, he never believed you
Liar since when, when?
Who knows when?
Uh-uh-uh-uh-uh
Anything but you
Anything but you
When can it be
that we kiss in the street
and that everybody can see us
and that they catch us grinding in the bars?
It can never be
Why are you still with him?
Where can it be
that your red hair is the grip?
and at dawn
manners come back and get lost again
It is not going to be here
Why are you still with him?
Not once did we do anything, better
than talk about what you would do
if the one in the photo were me

SONG MEANING

Sebastián Yatra paints a vivid, telenovela-ready scene in “La Pelirroja.” Our narrator is stuck in a secret chat with a fiery-haired crush whose phone signal keeps cutting out—just like their chances of being together. He dreams of public PDA: kissing on the street, getting caught dancing reggaetón in bars, and grabbing onto her red hair as the sun comes up. Instead, they only trade late-night messages and what-ifs while she keeps dating “that other guy.”

The chorus’s constant question—“¿Por qué sigues con él?”—captures the frustration and playful jealousy that fuel the song. Both characters fib about who they are with, yet nothing real ever happens beyond imagination. Wrapped in Yatra’s upbeat Latin-pop swagger, the track turns unfulfilled desire into an infectious anthem about taking risks, ditching excuses, and finally living the love you only text about.
