Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuento De Hadas by Gabito Ballesteros from Spanish to English.

Here you go, baby girl

Me wanting a fairy tale

And you with your bullsh*t

You put the horn on me like a unicorn

Now I know why your last ex ran from you

Honestly, I should've checked

Your shares on TikTok

Heels, the Birkin, and a flashy bouquet

I dreamed a life and it all got lost

No, no, I call you and you don't answer

Did f*cking Telcel fail or what?

Or are you at uni?

Your mom told me that you got into a car

And I don't have a Camaro

Babe, you dream about money, the life of a YouTuber

I made you an edit with 'Madonna' and I deleted it

Because you're not a rockstar

You're the same as the others

They buy you with five pesos

Chocolates and trinkets, throw them the f*ck away

Honestly, I should've checked

Your shares on TikTok

Heels, the Birkin, and a flashy bouquet

I dreamed a life and it all got lost

No, no, I call you and you don't answer

Did f*cking Telcel fail or what?

Or are you at uni?

Your mom told me that you got into a car

And I don't have a Camaro

Babe, you dream about money, the life of a YouTuber

I made you an edit with 'Madonna' and I deleted it

Because you're not a rockstar

You're the same as the others

They buy you with five pesos

Chocolates and trinkets, throw them the f*ck away

SONG MEANING

Gabito Ballesteros turns a broken heart into a fiery corrido-pop confession in “Cuento De Hadas.” The narrator dreamed of a fairy-tale romance, but reality hits hard when his girlfriend trades loyalty for clout, luxury bags, and TikTok fame. With playful sarcasm, he compares her cheating to a unicorn’s horn and mocks her obsession with heels, a Birkin, and ‘ramo buchón’ flower bouquets. Each punchy line exposes how social-media vanity and quick cash have replaced genuine love, leaving his once-bright future “all lost.”

Under the catchy guitars lies a rant full of modern references that any Gen-Z listener will spot. Dropped calls on Telcel, vanished edits set to Madonna, and fantasies of YouTuber wealth paint a picture of a relationship hijacked by status chasing. By the end, Gabito calls out her shallow price tag—“five pesos”—and tells her to toss the chocolates and cute gestures away. The song blends humor, frustration, and cultural nods to show that fairy tales can crumble fast when materialism takes center stage.
