Y jamás uso reloj
And I never wear a watch

Como lo hago yo

Aunque te dé lo mismo

The lyrics convey a sense of resignation as she confesses her shortcomings—ranging from her inability to make coffee to her emotional struggles—while simultaneously expressing an unwavering love for someone who may not reciprocate those feelings.
