CONTENTS SUMMARY
Lo Siento (I'm Sorry)
Tú siempre decías
Que nunca te irías sino que iría bien
No luchar por lo que quieres
Sólo tiene un nombre y se llama perder
You always were saying
That you'd never leave but that it would be good
Not fighting for what you want
Only has one name and it's called losing

Lo Siento is a passionate pop confession from Spanish singer Beret in which he looks back on a love that slipped through his fingers. With rapid-fire lines and heartfelt apologies, he admits that the hurt he caused was never on purpose, just the by-product of his own confusion. The chorus repeats a simple “Lo siento” – “I’m sorry” as he blames himself for wasting their time, wondering how he could understand the relationship when he did not even understand himself.

At its core, the song is a tug-of-war between holding on and letting go. Beret contrasts tener o temer – to have or to fear – and realizes that both partners were so alike in their doubts that fear became a silent third member of the couple. By the end he accepts that loving someone sometimes means stepping aside when you cannot give what they need. The result is an emotional anthem about regret, self-growth and the courage to fight for real happiness instead of settling for half-hearted love.

Porfa No Te Vayas (Please Don't Go)
Recuerdo aquel verano que pasé contigo
Y cada beso que nunca pasó
Se viste de fantasma cuando estoy dormido
Pasamos de repente del calor al frío
I remember that summer that I spent with you
And every kiss that never happened
She dresses like a ghost when I'm asleep
We suddenly went from hot to cold

“Porfa No Te Vayas” is a heartfelt Pop duet in which Spanish singer Beret and Colombian band Morat paint a vivid picture of summer love that feels too good (and too fragile) to last. The narrator remembers a sunny season filled with almost-kisses, late-night dances and playful nerves, then admits that every breeze of doubt now feels like winter returning. Warmth and cold, day and night, confidence and stuttering nervios all become symbols of how intensely he depends on this one person’s presence.

At its core, the song is a desperate yet tender plea: Please, don’t leave when the sun comes up. The singers confess past mistakes, acknowledge that their relationship was “built starting with the roof,” and still insist that no one else could ever compare. Each chorus repeats the urgent request not to disappear after the music stops, turning the track into an anthem for anyone who has ever feared waking up to find their summer romance gone with the dawn.

Ojalá (I Wish)
Yo necesito ganas no querer ganar
Y si algún día perdiese mi miedo a perder
Me duele haber corrido para no llegar
Ahora sé que el camino es la meta también
I need eagerness to not want to win
And if one day I lost my fear of losing
It hurts me to have run to not arrive
Now I know that the way is also the goal

“Ojalá” (which means “I wish” in Spanish) is Beret’s heartfelt pep-talk to himself and anyone who has ever felt lost in their own expectations. Over a smooth pop groove, the Sevillian singer unpacks the tug-of-war between chasing success and simply being okay with who we are. He admits he once sprinted toward distant finish lines only to discover that the journey itself was the real prize. The lyrics overflow with relatable confessions: fearing failure, patching up broken dreams, and returning to places that once made us happy even when they now hurt.

Beret’s central wish is simple yet powerful: that we learn to accept ourselves and each other without waiting for a “last hug.” He spotlights how society pushes us to be strong without teaching us how, how we mistake pain for happiness, and how we often have plenty of people to be with but very few to be ourselves with. By the end, the song feels like a friend urging you to drop impossible standards, forgive your own missteps, and remember that everyone deserves goodness. It is a melodic reminder that confidence does not come from winning, but from embracing every imperfect brushstroke on the canvas of life.

Fran
Puedo estar lejos de todo, pero sé que nunca voy a estar ausente
Puedo anclarme a la verdad aun sabiendo que quien me la dice me miente
Lo que estará para ti, solamente estará si te pones enfrente
El mundo no es el lugar más bonito para las personas que sienten
I can be far from everything, but I know that I'm never going to be absent
I can anchor myself to the truth even knowing that the one who tells it to me lies to me
What will be there for you will only be there if you put yourself in front
The world isn't the prettiest place for people that feel

Beret’s “Fran” is a poetic roller-coaster that invites us to jump between the world we dream of and the one we actually wake up in. The Spanish singer paints vivid contrasts: truth that comes from liars, pride that carries us far only to leave us stranded, and delicate souls that are crystal but not transparent. He reminds us that fear is oddly loyal, expectations can be louder than our own thoughts, and patience—like a flower cracking asphalt—often beats brute force. Every line feels like a friendly nudge to question who sets our limits and why we tend to learn hatred before courage.

At the heart of all these reflections sits one simple word: love. Beret circles back to it as the ultimate summary, urging us to fall in love with both the destination and the messy process that leads there. “Fran” celebrates choosing vibrant, fast-paced living over a slow emotional fade-out, forgiving the truly repentant, and daring to try even when success is uncertain. By the end, listeners are left with a bittersweet truth: we carry rusted locks from the past, yet we can still fill fountains with hope if we decide to invest in what matters most—love.

Cupido (Cupid)
Algo me dice que te escuche pero sé como vas a empezar
Ya me conozco nuestra historia con triste final
Vas a volver a atormentar a un corazón tranquilo
Entiendo todo lo que dices, te he escuchado, pero, basta ya
Something tells me that I should listen to you, but I know how you're going to start
I already know our story with a sad ending
You're going to torment a peaceful heart again
I understand everything that you say, I've listened to you, but that's enough now

“Cupido” is Beret’s candid breakup diary dressed in pop-urban melodies. Picture a late-night conversation where the singer finally tells a toxic ex, “I’ve heard your speech before, and I am not buying the sequel.” He acknowledges the whirlwind passion—​speeding sin frenos—​but refuses to keep crashing. Although both declare “te quiero tanto,” their love has turned into a storm of lies, empty I love you’s, and tear-filled oceans. Beret flips the blame onto Cupid, the reckless archer who shot the wrong arrows, while reclaiming his own peace of mind.

The song swings between vulnerability and self-assertion, making it both relatable and empowering. It teaches that affection without consistency is worthless, and that self-love sometimes means saying “basta ya.” Listeners are invited to dance, sing, and—​most importantly—​recognize when it is time to put on the brakes and steer away from heartache.

Hola, Qué Tal? (Hi How Are Things?)
No te quisiera molestar
Hola, ¿qué tal?, ¿cómo te va la vida?
Espero que genial
La mía va fatal, soy un bala perdida
I wouldn't want to bother you
Hi, how are you, how's life going?
I hope it's great
Mine's awful, I'm a stray bullet

“Hola, ¿qué tal?” is Beret’s bittersweet postcard to a love that never quite became reality. Opening with the casual greeting of a text you should probably never send, the Spanish singer confesses that his life feels like a mess while he can’t stop picturing perfect moments with the person he lost. He brings flowers to what we never were, imagines dancing without a care, and dreams of diving into the sea hand in hand — all to say “you’re the best thing I’ve ever lost.”

The song drifts between regret and daydream, painting parallel universes where the couple does last forever. Each verse is a tug-of-war: he knows he shouldn’t reach out, yet hope keeps sneaking back in. With tender imagery, catchy melodies, and raw honesty, Beret turns unfulfilled love into a heartfelt anthem that reminds us how powerful “what-ifs” can be — and how hard it is to let go when someone still feels like home.

Cóseme (Eat Me)
Yo sé que me miras pero no me ves
Yo quería tu parte, no partirme en cien
Tu prefieres aquí quedo a quédate
Yo prefiero antes la herida que la piel
I know that you look at me but you don't see me
I wanted your part, not to break into a hundred
You prefer here I stay to stay
I prefer the wound before the skin

Cóseme ("Sew Me") spins the story of two people who still orbit each other even after their love has come apart at the seams. Over a mellow reggaeton-pop beat, Beret confesses that he can feel his partner’s eyes on him, yet she no longer truly sees him. The Spaniard paints a push-and-pull landscape: he wants to be stitched back together, she clings to yesterday’s doubts; he bets on tomorrow, she replays the past. Every line drips with the frustration of loving someone who hesitates to jump, so he begs her to “sew” the wound she opened rather than pretend nothing happened.

Under the catchy chorus hides a deeper message about self-worth. While the singer pleads to be “dressed” with her love, he also realizes he must learn to walk alone before inviting her to join. Cóseme becomes both a love song and a self-repair anthem: it reminds us that heartbreak can tear us apart, but it also hands us the needle and thread we need to rebuild ourselves—whether the other person stays or not.

Desde Cero (From Scratch)
Hay momentos para todo
Pero nunca todos van a estar ahí en cualquier momento
Si tan solo esperas a qué las cosas suceden tan solo sucede el tiempo
He perdido más por no hacer nada
There are moments for everything
But never will everyone be there at any moment
If you just wait for things to happen, only time passes
I've lost more by doing nothing

Desde Cero is a confession booth wrapped in a pop-flamenco beat. Beret and Melendi juggle contradicciones that feel all too familiar: wanting someone yet pushing them away, smiling while breaking inside, fearing action but hating regret even more. Their recurring motto — “mejor desde cero” (“better to start from scratch”) — urges us to wipe the slate clean, own our mistakes, and jump back into life with honest intention instead of comfortable lies.

Throughout the song the duo pepper the listener with playful yet profound questions: “¿Cómo darte el cielo si nunca pisé la Luna?” and “¿Cómo soy sincero si nadie me pregunta?” These doubts expose the challenge of giving real love while still figuring yourself out. In the end the track celebrates bravery: the courage to face inner chaos, let go of ego, and rebuild both a relationship and a self that can finally breathe, love, and live without disguise.

Esencial (Essential)
Tengo tiempo para todo pero no para perderlo
Cosas con valor antes que con un simple precio
Ganas de ir a todo pero nunca de ir en serio
Mucho para darte pero siempre, poco suelto
I have time for everything but not to waste it
Things with value before a simple price
Desire to do everything but never seriously
A lot to give you but always, a little loose

Esencial is Beret’s reminder that the most priceless treasures are often the simplest ones. With playful word-twists and an upbeat groove, he tells us he has time but not to waste, money but not to flaunt, and dreams but only if they feel real. The song paints life as a backpack filled with just the basics: the air we breathe, memories collected on the road, a friend to talk to, and laughter that slips out under the moon. By stripping away the clutter, Beret shouts that these tiny sparks are more than enough to keep us flying.

Instead of worrying about tomorrow, the lyrics urge us to seize the sunlight of today, improvise our own path, and ditch the fear of the unknown. Happiness is portrayed as something wonderfully low-maintenance: a lighter without a flint, the urge to dance, and a thousand reasons to toast. “Esencial” is both a carefree anthem and a philosophical note in your pocket, nudging you to value experiences over price tags, enjoy the ride, and trust that a clear sky is never too far away.

Frío (Cold)
Y yo sé bien, estoy llamando solución a engañarme
Todo no tiene que tener un porqué
Aunque yo me esfuerzo en que todo salga bien
Me debo querer y seguir en pie
And I know well, I'm calling solution to deceive myself
Everything doesn't have to have a why
Even though I strive for everything to go well
I must love myself and keep going

Frío turns Beret’s inner monologue into a heartfelt anthem about thawing the ice we create for ourselves. The Spanish singer admits that he often calls self-deception a “solution,” keeps searching for reasons that may never appear, and ends up shivering because he is everyone else’s coat but never his own. Between confessions of running late for everything and loving the very labyrinth that traps him, he recognises that some wounds must stay visible so they can remind him of past battles.

Despite the chill in its title, the track radiates warmth and motivation. Beret invites us to flip our world upside down, drop the habit of self-sabotage, and give ourselves the care we freely offer others. Frío is a melodic pep-talk for anyone who feels overwhelmed, teaching that real change begins with self-love, patience, and the courage to keep standing while time does its quiet work.

Bala Perdida (Stray Bullet)
Si el amor fuese ciego sólo nos enamoraríamos de la oscuridad
Llamamos cariño a la misma persona de apellido necesidad
Las cosas a golpes se rompen otras encajan para siempre
Soy esa clase de torpes que ni lo quiere intentar
If love were blind, we would only fall in love with darkness
We call affection the same person with the last name need
Things break with blows, others fit forever
I'm that kind of clumsy who doesn't even want to try

Bala Perdida (Spanish for Stray Bullet) fires straight into the heart of self-doubt and messy love. Beret paints a picture of someone who confuses affection with necesidad, breaks apart only to understand himself better, and realizes that the only true lifesaver is the person staring back from the mirror. Amid clever wordplay like “si el amor fuese ciego, sólo nos enamoraríamos de la oscuridad,” the singer questions society’s so-called “normal,” laughs at fate’s coin tosses, and admits that he often prefers honest brokenness to polished lies.

Behind the upbeat urban-pop vibe lies a raw confession: the narrator feels like a stray bullet, shot from life’s own pistol, ricocheting between loneliness, fear, and the hope of genuine connection. He owns his chaos, refuses quick fixes, and invites us to jump with him “al desastre” if that is the only way to be truly happy. In short, the song is a powerful reminder that embracing our cracks, rather than hiding them, is what finally sets us free.

Dime Quién Ama De Verdad (Tell Me Who Really Loves)
Que pena que no seas la infinitud
El tiempo desgasta hasta el propio tiempo
Que si algo fuese alguien fuera tú
Ojalá te siga escuchando en el viento
What a shame that you are not infinity
Time wears down even time itself
That if something were someone it would be you
I hope I keep hearing you in the wind

“Dime Quién Ama De Verdad” is Beret’s heartfelt meditation on love, loss, and the tricky art of loving oneself.

The Spanish singer paints a vivid picture of longing: his skin still “needs” the other person, his hands still “search” for that body, yet his mind can’t find peace. Through these confessions, Beret poses a sharp question: Who truly knows how to love? If we can’t even love ourselves, why pass our own torment to someone else? The song swings between intense desire (wanting to merge bodies and wake up together) and the realization that love can’t heal a “heart so broken.” In the end, Beret admits he must first learn to accept and protect himself before he can share a healthier, more genuine love. That tug-of-war between craving connection and fearing it makes the track both relatable and powerfully emotional.

Nunca Se Hará Tarde (It Will Never Be Too Late)
Tú imaginate que busco tu bien
Y me olvido hacer todo aquello que a mí me mataba
Tú imaginate que muero de sed
Y te tengo y sé que tu fuente saciaba
Imagine that I seek your good
And I forget to do all that used to kill me
Imagine that I'm dying of thirst
And I have you and I know that your source quenched me

Beret’s “Nunca Se Hará Tarde” is a heartfelt invitation to imagine a love so genuine that it rewrites the rules of time. The singer pictures dropping every harmful habit, quenching every thirst, and tossing away the clock because the only thing that matters is sharing the moment with the person he loves. He craves honesty, even if imperfect, and finds value in every instant, believing that anything coming from this special someone is automatically good.

At its core, the song celebrates living in the here and now. It reminds us that while the past is complicated and the future uncertain, love can make the present feel perfectly timeless. When two people decide to face their fears, doubts, and storms together, “it will never be late” as long as they still have each other and a little more time to share.

Diez Mil Porqués (Ten Thousand Whys)
El caso no es volverte a ver, sino ver como vuelves
Si merece la pena ya perderme o no perderte no sé
Si las historias las escriben aquellos que ganan siempre
Nosotros que hemos perdido que diremos
The case is not to see you again, but to see how you return
If it's worth losing myself or not losing you, I don't know
If the stories are written by those who always win
We who have lost, what will we say

“Diez Mil Porqués” is Beret’s heartfelt conversation with an ex-lover, but it doubles as a pep-talk we secretly give ourselves after a breakup. The Spanish singer twists the typical Will we get back together? storyline into an avalanche of ten thousand whys: Why did it hurt? Why did it make us stronger? Why does freedom feel like a prison when you walk away? As he puzzles over these questions, Beret reminds us that the greatest jigsaws are the ones that don’t fit at first; given time, lost pieces slide perfectly into place and the arms that once held you still feel like home.

Behind the catchy melody lies a survival guide to heartbreak. Beret learns that love is not about owning someone, but about offering them your happiness—even if that means watching them fly. He admits the future can drown us in everything we never say or do, yet insists that memories, not material things, are what last “para siempre.” In the end, the song is an invitation to embrace every contradiction of love: to miss someone while valuing your own company, to feel lost without actually losing, and to turn every lingering por qué into fuel for personal freedom.

Bye Bye
Ya hace un tiempo hoy que me siento bien
Que sé que todo lo que pasa va a ponerme OK
Será este feeling, las ganas o yo que sé
Hoy si quiero hartarme de beber
It's been a while today that I feel good
That I know that everything that happens is going to make me OK
It will be this feeling, the desire or I don't know
Today if I want to drink a lot

“Bye Bye” is Beret’s joyful shout of freedom after a long stretch of gray days. The Spanish singer opens the track announcing that, at last, he feels good, and everything that happens from now on will turn out OK. Instead of dwelling on past struggles, he decides to get out of bed, greet strangers in the street, maybe have a few drinks, and soak up every bit of positive energy around him. He thanks the people who always believed in him—especially his mother—while kicking hatred to the curb and promising to give back the love and strength he has received.

The chorus is a vibrant reminder to live, breathe, dance, and let negativity wave goodbye. Beret encourages us to chase dreams without fear, accept that life’s ups and downs are lessons, and remember that whatever we send out will come back our way. If words hurt, keep quiet; if they do not, shout them proudly. The song turns a simple “bye bye” into a bold invitation to embrace the present, move with the rhythm of life, and celebrate every step forward with a smile and a dance.
