No Prometo Nada Lyrics in English by Tommy Torres
Cuesta comes from the verb costar, which means "to cost" or "to be difficult." It's a versatile word that captures both the financial and emotional toll something can take.
In this song, Tommy Torres sings, "Confiar ya me cuesta, el amor sale caro" (Trusting is hard for me now, love comes at a high price). He uses cuesta to express the difficulty and emotional cost of trusting again after past hurts, making it a poignant and relatable word.
Tommy Torres's "No Prometo Nada" is such a relatable song about someone who's been hurt before and is really cautious about falling in love again. He admits, "Sé que yo no soy fácil, que puedo ser raro" [I know I'm not easy, I can be strange], and that "Confiar ya me cuesta, El amor sale caro" [Trusting is hard for me now, love is expensive]. It sounds like he's had some tough experiences where he didn't get back what he gave.
But even with all that baggage, there's a glimmer of hope! He can't deny that "contigo la paso bien, Muy bien" [with you I have a good time, a very good time]. He's open to the possibility of love, singing "Quizás me pueda enamorar" [Maybe I could fall in love], but he's also very clear: "Pero no prometo nada" [But I don't promise anything]. It's a really honest look at the struggle between wanting to protect yourself and being drawn to someone new.
