Tatuajes Lyrics in English Ivan Cornejo

“Tatuajes” feels like opening a diary that is still wet with tears. Ivan Cornejo wakes up from a bittersweet dream where his lost love is his once again, only to crash back into reality without her. The song moves through regional Mexican guitars and mournful vocals, painting the picture of someone who cannot escape memories of a relationship. Whether he is at home or miles away, everything is “not the same without you,” and that ache drives every line he sings.

Jealousy and regret color the entire track. Cornejo fixates on his ex’s tattoos, symbols that another person now gets to trace at night, while he stands powerless on the sidelines. He wrestles with questions—What does he have that I don’t?—and clings to the hope that one day she will realize what she lost. Beneath the sting of betrayal, there is also generosity: even if she stays with someone else, he wishes her well, showing a vulnerable maturity. “Tatuajes” is a haunting reminder that love can leave permanent marks on the heart, just like ink on skin, and that letting go is often the hardest art to master.
