Verse 1
You promised me that you'd soon come back
That you'd never remember yesterday again
That you wouldn't think anymore about that woman
And you even swore that you wanted to be mine
You told me that you felt an immense love
That I was the medicine for your pain
You wrapped me inside that beautiful illusion
And I gave myself completely without any condition
And now that time has passed
You have forgotten me
And you're not going to come back
Chorus 1
Coward, you're nothing more than a coward
You lack the courage to talk to me
And you continue running away
Coward, you're just a coward
But sooner or later
You're going to remember me well
Verse 2
You told me that you felt an immense love
That I was the medicine for your pain
You wrapped me inside that beautiful illusion
And I gave myself completely without any condition
And now that time has passed
You have forgotten me
And you're not going to come back
Chorus 2
Coward, you're nothing more than a coward
You lack the courage to talk to me
And you continue running away
Coward, you're just a coward
But sooner or later
You're going to remember me well

SONG MEANING

Feel that fiery Tex-Mex rhythm? In Cobarde (“Coward”), Selena turns heartbreak into a Tejano showstopper. She recounts how a lover showered her with promises: he swore he’d forget his past, claimed her love was his cure, and convinced her to give everything—no questions asked. When time reveals his words were empty, she calls him out as a cobarde, a coward who runs away instead of facing the truth.

Yet this is no sad lament. Selena sings with a confident spark, warning that sooner or later he will remember the woman who loved him sincerely. The song blends disappointment with empowerment, inviting listeners to dance while embracing self-respect. It is a catchy reminder that broken promises say more about the one who breaks them, and that courage belongs to those who move on—con ritmo y corazón.
