Cosas Pendientes Lyrics in English Maluma
Pendientes literally means "pending," like a task you still need to do. It's the key to this song's title, "Cosas Pendientes," which translates to "Unfinished Business."
In the lyrics, Maluma uses it to describe the unresolved romantic tension and feelings between him and his ex. When he says they have "cosas pendientes," he's talking about all the unspoken words and unresolved emotions, perfectly capturing the feeling of a story that isn't over yet.
Picture the scene: you are at a buzzing Latin club when Maluma’s unmistakable voice cuts through the speakers. In “Cosas Pendientes,” the Colombian superstar tells the story of two ex-lovers who bump into each other on the dance floor. She is grinding with someone new, but the DJ accidentally plays their old song. One electric glance, a sly smile, and suddenly all those late-night memories come rushing back. The lyrics reveal that, no matter how hard she tries to act indifferent, the chemistry is impossible to hide—“la tensión se ve, se siente.”
Maluma paints their unfinished business like a tattoo: permanent, vivid, and impossible to erase. He’s convinced she still checks his photos, still compares every new fling to him, and still feels that magnetic pull whenever they lock eyes. Behind the reggaetón beat and club lights lies a playful yet bittersweet message—moving on is tough when love leaves cosas pendientes, loose ends waiting to be tied.
