Verse 1
If you leave, I'm going to jump
Just trust that I go, behind you I'll stay
Get away, it's a lie, better stay, I see myself with you
Or: Behind you I will stay, stay away
It cannot be that we are only friends
Chorus 1
You're with someone who you can't love
Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him
Note how 'pensando en mí' translates directly to English as 'thinking on me'
Explain to me how you do it
Probably it will happen that that fails
Lit. Probably, it may happen that it may fail
You're with someone who you can't love
Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him
Explain to me how you do it
Probably it will happen that that fails
Dare, go, turn him into a TBT
TBT refers to the popular hashtag - Throwback Thursday
Dare, go, turn him into a TBT
Or: I dare you, go, turn it into a TBT
Verse 2
I don't want to lie to you, nor hurt you
Or: I neither want to lie to you nor hurt you
What I want is to undress you, sunrise, and not leave
All the kisses were left in TBC
TBC means 'To be continued'
Exploiting your lips in TNT
TNT means 'Til Next Time'
Crazy when I kissed you
Or: It was crazy when I kissed you
Hidden copy BCC
BCC stands for 'blind carbon copy', often used in emails
A letter in ATT
In Spanish, ATT stands for 'Atentamente', which is the Spanish word for 'Sincerely'
I want you here
And I'm not like this normally
But Cupid aimed straight at me
And I was screwed, I declare myself innocent
Chorus 2
You're with someone who you can't love
Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him
Explain to me how you do it
Probably it will happen that that fails
Lit. Probably, it may happen that it may fail
You're with someone who you can't love
Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him
Explain to me how you do it
Probably it will happen that that fails
Dare, go, turn him into a TBT
TBT refers to the popular hashtag - Throwback Thursday
Dare, go, turn him into a TBT
Or: I dare you, go, turn it into a TBT
Verse 3
Don't fall for your own lie
Because I live in your mind still
Love like ours doesn't expire
I am yours, babe, you are mine
You lie if you say that you already forgot me
You are lying if you say that you have already forgotten me
That I am only the past, you overcame me
Tell me where was left all that we lived
Why do you deceive yourself and deny what we feel?
Or: Because for years I have not denied what we feel [for each other]
If at night you call me from nothing
'De la nada' is an expression that means 'out of the blue'
You tell me that without me you can't sleep anymore
What if we return to that morning?
Why don't you leave him and come back to me?
Chorus 3
You're with someone who you can't love
Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him
Explain to me how you do it
Probably it will happen that that fails
Lit. Probably, it may happen that it may fail
Dare, go, turn him into a TBT
TBT refers to the popular hashtag - Throwback Thursday
Dare, go, turn him into a TBT
Or: I dare you, go, turn it into a TBT

expiran — expire

Expiran is the third-person plural form of the verb expirar, which means "to expire". It's a fantastic word for English speakers as it's a direct cognate, making it easy to recognize and remember.

In the song, Sebastián Yatra sings the powerful line, "Amores como el nuestro no expiran" (Loves like ours don't expire). He uses a word typically associated with a deadline or a product's shelf life to declare that their love is timeless and will never end, creating a very romantic and memorable metaphor.

This song is one big, confident plea to an ex. Colombian superstar Sebastián Yatra, along with Rauw Alejandro and Manuel Turizo, tells a story about a girl who's in a new relationship but is clearly not over her old one. The main message is right in the title: they want her to make her current boyfriend a "TBT," or a "Throwback Thursday" memory. They sing, "Atrévete, vete, conviértelo en un TBT" [Dare, go, turn him into a TBT], basically telling her to dump him and make him a thing of the past. They are completely sure she's still in love with them, claiming she's "Pensando en mí cuando lo vas a besar" [Thinking of me when you're going to kiss him].

The lyrics are full of bold and playful lines. Rauw Alejandro doesn't hold back, saying, "No quiero mentirte, ni tampoco herirte / Lo que quiero es desvestirte" [I don't want to lie to you, nor hurt you / What I want is to undress you]. The song also uses modern slang and acronyms, comparing their past kisses to something that's "TBC" [To Be Continued] and her lips to "TNT" [dynamite]. It's a super catchy track about trying to win someone back by reminding them that their new love just can't compare to what you had.
