The verb arreglar literally means "to fix," but its meaning in this song is much more nuanced. It's the key to the catchy hook, “Peleamos, nos arreglamos” (We fight, we make up).
Here, the reflexive form arreglarse means to resolve a conflict or to make amends. This single word perfectly captures the song's theme: a fiery relationship where conflict is always followed by resolution. It's a fantastic, colloquial use of a common verb that you'll hear in everyday conversation.
“Ay Vamos” is J Balvin’s playful confession that love is rarely picture–perfect, yet it is always worth the push and pull. Over an irresistible reggaetón beat, the Colombian superstar paints the story of a fiery couple who argue, get jealous, and make dramatic scenes, only to end up in each other’s arms again. Every spat is followed by an equally intense make-up session, proving that their passion is the glue that keeps them together.
The chorus—“Peleamos, nos arreglamos, nos mantenemos en esa pero nos amamos”—captures the song’s heartbeat: fight, fix it, repeat, all while never doubting the love in between. Balvin reassures his partner that his late-night hustles are for their future, not for flirting, and tells her to relax because he only has eyes for her. “Ay Vamos” celebrates imperfect relationships with a wink, a dance, and the promise that no matter how many times they clash, they will always find their way back to each other.
