Verse 1

I have sunset on my cheeks

And yesterday's leftover food

I want you here seventy times seven

If it rains like this, don't let it stop

Chorus 1

There's so many fake things

There are more knock-off purses

Than people who love with their heart

But that's why you and I are here

Verse 2

Oh, lovely little star, where did you come from?

I know you have wings, where did you hide them?

You arrived on time, although you took so long

You make me get up early just to stare at you

You

If everybody were like you

The power bill wouldn't come

Everything would light up

Everything would be different, but it's not

Chorus 2

There's so many fake things

There are more knock-off purses

Than people who love with their heart

But that's what you and I are here for

Outro

Like this, by the sea

We're gonna love each other for life

Like this, like this, by the sea

We're gonna love each other for life

Like this, like this, by the sea

We're gonna love each other for life

Like this, like this, by the sea

We're gonna love each other for life, babe

We're gonna love each other, babe

Carteras Chinas — Chinese Purses

Carteras Chinas literally translates to "Chinese Purses". In the song, it's used as a modern metaphor for anything that is fake or inauthentic, similar to the idea of a knock-off designer bag.

ELENA ROSE sings that there are more "carteras chinas" in the world than people who love from the heart. She uses this unique phrase to contrast the superficiality of the world with the real, authentic love she has found.

In a world full of knockoffs, finding genuine love is rare. Venezuelan-American singer ELENA ROSE teams up with Camilo and Mexican cumbia icons Los Ángeles Azules to deliver a refreshingly direct metaphor: "Hay más carteras chinas / Que gente que ama con el corazón" [There are more fake designer bags / Than people who love from the heart]. The phrase carteras chinas refers to cheap, imitation handbags, contrasting fake things with real, unpretentious romance. The track celebrates the cozy simplicity of real connection, like enjoying leftover food ("la comida que quedó de ayer") and basking in a lover's glow so bright that "No llegaría el recibo de la luz" [The electric bill wouldn't even arrive].

Instead of chasing luxury, the song is all about committing for the long run. Lines like "Te quiero aquí setenta veces siete" [I want you here seventy times seven] play on the classic biblical expression for endless forgiveness and patience, while the repeating promise "a la orilla del mar / Pa' todas la vida nos vamos a amar" [by the seashore / we are going to love each other for a lifetime] seals the deal. It is a sweet, playful track that laughs at the phoniness around us and chooses honest affection by the beach instead.
