Verse 1

You always were saying

Or: You would always say

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

If I hurt you, it wasn't intentionally but unintentionally

Or: If I hurt you it was without intention and not because I didn't love you

Just tell me what you prefer

If you have the option to have or to fear

You only think about how it ends

I only think about how I'll end up

One day you tell me I lack the desire

Lit. One day you tell me 'I am missing the wins'

Another I think I never won you over

I who did everything so that you stayed

Now I think, what was I left with?

Or: Now I think, with what was I left?

Lost time or perhaps I've gained it

From missing you to saying I threw you out

Chorus 1

Sorry for making you waste your time

Or: I'm sorry for wasting your time

For thinking of making another attempt

For having you, fighting for you, and feeling you, would make you happy

I burst, because sometimes I don't even understand myself

Or: I explode, because sometimes I don't even understand myself

How am I going to understand ours

Lit. How am I going to understand ours [relationship]

If I never even understood you

Verse 2

I know that not caring about the past

Which before was killing me only means to grow

That we've never been two

Since counting fear we were three

Because we're so alike

That if you leave I leave also

The failure is having a problem and never learning

Or: The mistake is having a problem and never learning [from it]

If you're going to stay, let it be with me

If you're going to run, let it be to the edge

I know that the future wasn't ahead

Now I realize that it's with you

I defeated time and it's not lost

I never remember but I don't forget

More letters exist which were never given

Because there isn't more strength for whoever wrote it

Or: Because the one who wrote them no longer has the strength

Chorus 2

Sorry for making you waste your time

Or: Sorry for wasting your time

For thinking of making another attempt

Or: For thinking of giving it another try

For having you, fighting for you, and feeling you, would make you happy

I burst, because sometimes I don't even understand myself

Or: I burst, because sometimes I don't even understand myself

How am I going to understand ours

Lit. How am I going to understand ours [relationship]

If I never even understood you

Verse 3

Because your successes will tell where you are

And your failures only where to go

What good is the quantity to me

If only the intensity will make me happy

Before doing what is going to destroy us

I prefer to save you and make you

'Hacerte a ti' is not grammatically correct but it is clearly used as a play on words that fits the idea of the previous line about 'destroying' (the opposite would be 'to make something')

You don't understand anymore what I cannot give you

Or: You no longer understand that I cannot give you

That which I don't have and doesn't live in me

Chorus 3

Sorry for making you waste your time

Or: Sorry for wasting your time

For thinking of making another attempt

For having you, fighting for you, and feeling you, would make you happy

I burst, because sometimes I don't even understand myself

Or: I burst, because sometimes I don't even understand myself

How am I going to understand ours

Lit. How am I going to understand ours [relationship]

If I never even understood you

Outro

You always were saying

Or: You would always say

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

If I hurt you, it wasn't intentionally but unintentionally

Or: If I hurt you it was without intention and not because I didn't love you

Just tell me what you prefer

If you have the option to have or to fear

SONG MEANING

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.
