Verse 1

What more do you want from me

If the past is proof of your love

'Estar a prueba' means 'to be on trial', so this could also be translated as 'If the past is on trial for your love'

And I don't have the courage

To escape forever from the pain

Too much to ask

That we continue in this hypocrisy

How much longer can I live

Lit: How much time more will I be able to live

In the same lie

Chorus 1

No, don't go bragging, no

That you have stolen my heart

And I've left nothing more

Or: And I don't have anything more left

Yes, I prefer to be the loser

Or: Yes, I'd rather be the one who lost

That has given you everything

And I've left nothing more

Or: I have nothing left

I've nothing left

Or: I don't have anything left

Verse 2

I can't continue anymore

Or: I can't go on anymore

Resisting that strange feeling

That chills my skin

Or: That makes my skin freeze

Like winter out of season

Your gaze on mine

Ignoring each other at a distance

Everything loses meaning

And emptiness is better than oblivion

I prefer to let you leave

Or: I'd rather let you depart

Than to be your prisoner

And don't go around

Saying you're the owner of my feelings

Lit: Saying to be the owner of my feelings

Chorus 2

No, don't go bragging, no

That you have stolen my heart

And I've left nothing more

Yes, I prefer to be the loser

That has given you everything

And has left nothing more

Or: And doesn't have anything more left

Chorus 3

No, don't go bragging, no

That you have stolen my heart

And I've left nothing more

Yes, I prefer to be a loser

Or: Yes, I'd rather be the one who lost

That has given you everything

And has left nothing more

I have left nothing more

Or: I don't have left anything more

What more do you want from me

If I've passed this test of your love

SONG MEANING

What happens when love turns into a painful game you can no longer win? In El Perdedor, Spanish pop icon Enrique Iglesias teams up with Mexican legend Marco Antonio Solís to paint the raw picture of a man who would rather call himself the loser than keep pretending everything is fine. He has given his partner absolutely everything, yet the relationship feels colder than an out-of-season winter. Tired of the “same old lie,” he chooses to walk away and protect what is left of his heart.

Listening closely, you will hear a mix of pride, sorrow, and liberation. The singer begs his lover not to brag about “stealing” his heart, because there is nothing left to take. Instead of living as her prisoner, he sets himself free, even if that means admitting defeat. El Perdedor is a bittersweet anthem that reminds us sometimes the greatest victory is accepting a graceful loss.
