laberinto — labyrinth / maze

Laberinto translates to 'labyrinth' or 'maze'. It's a fantastic and evocative word that paints a vivid picture.

In this song, the artist sings, "me perdĂ­ en un laberinto" (I got lost in a labyrinth), referring to his lover's large eyes. This metaphor beautifully expresses the feeling of being completely captivated and mesmerized, so much so that he feels lost within their gaze.

Late at night is when it all comes back: the smell of a perfume, white sheets, long legs, and a pair of big eyes he describes as a labyrinth he got lost in. Peso Pluma sings about someone he calls untouchable, como joya de oro, a gold jewel he could admire but never keep. The chorus keeps circling one plain thought, y pensar que tĂş ya no vas a estar, and the luxuries he lists around it, the Clase Azul tequila and the champagne, only make the quiet in the room louder.

There is a proud, slightly cruel line in the middle: if you feel lonely, please do not call me. He knows exactly how fast he would fold. For a learner the Spanish is unhurried and very singable, with the imperfect recordaba setting the whole scene inside a memory and simple futures like pasará and dejarás carrying the resignation. It is a breakup song that never raises its voice, it just repeats como tú no hay nadie más until you believe him.
