TBT Lyrics in English by Sebastián Yatra, Rauw Alejandro, Manuel Turizo

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.
