Verse 1

Look into my eyes because I feel you're different

I'm afraid of us

That this love has suddenly worn out

Remind me again when everything was new

The day that you fell in love

We said that ours would be eternal

Prechorus 1

Don't tell me that you're leaving today, please

That you're going to break my heart

Or: Because you'll shatter my heart

If you ask me to change I'll do what you ask me

It's human to commit more than one mistake

What does it cost you to give me your forgiveness?

Or: How hard is it for you to give me your forgiveness?

I swear that I won't bear your goodbye

Chorus 1

Although they say that there's no evil that lasted more than a hundred years

I wouldn't want to be the first idiot to test it

A love like ours you know that you don't see every day

A love like ours is worth saving

Check it out, my brother, listen, Carlitos

Cheers, partner, cheers

Mexico and Colombia

One heart, brother

Long live the hotties

Prechorus 2

Don't tell me that you're leaving today, please

That you're going to break my heart

If you want me to change I'll do what you ask me

It's human to commit more than one mistake

What does it cost you to give me your forgiveness?

Or: How hard is it for you to give me your forgiveness?

I swear that I won't bear your goodbye

Chorus 2

Although they say that there's no evil that lasted more than a hundred years

I wouldn't want to be the first idiot to test it

A love like ours you know that you don't see every day

A love like ours is worth saving

destrozar — to shatter / to tear apart

Destrozar literally means "to shatter" or "to tear apart".

In the song, Carlos Rivera pleads "me vas a destrozar el corazón" (“you’re going to shatter my heart”), using this vivid verb to convey deep emotional pain. Its dramatic imagery and strong consonant sound make it memorable—perfect for learners who want a striking new word that goes beyond everyday vocabulary.

Mexican singer Carlos Rivera teams up with Colombian star Maluma for this dramatic pop plea to save a fading romance. The track kicks off with pure panic: "Mírame a los ojos que te siento diferente" [Look me in the eyes, I feel you're different]. From there, pride goes straight out the window. Rivera and Maluma beg for forgiveness, admitting "Es de humanos cometer más de un error" [It's human to make more than one mistake] and promising to do whatever it takes to stop a breakup. It is desperate, melodramatic, and completely unashamed about begging.

The real highlight is the chorus, which plays with a famous Spanish proverb: "no hay mal que dure cien años" (meaning no pain lasts forever). Instead of finding comfort in that idea, the singer panics: "Aunque digan que no hay mal que duró más de cien años / No quisiera ser el primer idiota en comprobarlo" [Even if they say no sorrow lasts over a hundred years / I wouldn't want to be the first idiot to test it]. Right in the middle of this heartbreak, the two friends take a quick breather to raise a glass ("Salud, parcero, salud" [Cheers, buddy, cheers]), using the classic Colombian slang parcero for close friend. It is a big, emotional plea with just enough humor to keep from drowning in its own tears.
