Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Perdedor by Maluma from Spanish to English.

Intro

What are you calling me for?

Tell me if it's true that he drives you crazy

And what do you care?

yes!

Intro

I still can't believe it, in so little time and you're already kissing another mouth

Too bad!

Chorus 1

Tell me what my mistake was

If my only crime was just loving you

Today I'm the loser

That has stolen from me the trick to win your heart

And tell me that you love me even if it's a lie

I can't deny it, jealousy is killing me

And tell him to his face that you still sigh for me

It breaks my soul not to see you again

And tell me that you love me even if it's a lie

You see that there's nobody like me

And tell him to his face that you still sigh for me

Don't fool yourself, you won't forget me

Bridge

It's clear that you

Deserve someone better

I don't know where I failed

But there's nobody else like me

Verse 1

Listen babe, give me another chance

You already know I'm not like this, only you make me beg

Looking at myself in the mirror and fighting with my ego

If the farther I get, the more I think about you

Chorus 2

Tell me what my mistake was

If my only crime was just loving you

Today I'm the loser

That has stolen from me the trick to win your heart

And tell me that you love me even if it's a lie

I can't deny it, jealousy is killing me

And tell him to his face that you still sigh for me

It breaks my soul not to see you again

And tell me that you love me even if it's a lie

You see that there's nobody like me

And tell him to his face that you still sigh for me

Don't fool yourself, you won't forget me

Verse 2

And if you feel like seeing me again

I'll be available to answer you

I know that you don't hold grudges

Maybe tomorrow you'll come back so that you'll fall in love

When we drank we did it, we filmed ourselves and watched

Verse 2

We were two crazies without knowing where we were going

But they're things of destiny

As time passed you took your path

Bridge

It's clear that you

Deserve someone better

I don't know where I failed

But there's nobody else like me

Chorus 3

Tell me what my mistake was

If my only crime was just loving you

Today I'm the loser

That has stolen from me the trick to win your heart

And tell me that you love me even if it's a lie

I can't deny it, jealousy is killing me

And tell him to his face that you still sigh for me

It breaks my soul not to see you again

And tell me that you love me even if it's a lie

You see that there's nobody like me

And tell him to his face that you still sigh for me

You sigh for me, no, no, no

Outro

You know what

He doesn't make love to you

He doesn't treat you well

And that I was the first in your life

SONG MEANING

El Perdedor (Spanish for The Loser) finds Colombian superstar Maluma caught in a whirlwind of jealousy and regret. The moment he realizes his ex is already kissing someone else, his confidence shatters. He bombards her with questions—“Why are you calling me? What did I do wrong?”—while admitting that seeing her with another man is killing him inside. The song swings between swagger and vulnerability: he brags that no one can love her like he did, yet pleads for another chance and even begs her to tell the new guy she still sighs for Maluma.

Behind the catchy reggaeton beat lies a relatable story about losing love and wrestling with pride. Maluma paints himself as both the victim and the culprit: his “only crime was loving her,” but now he has to face the bitter title of perdedor. He alternates between nostalgia—recalling their wild nights together—and hope, promising he will always be “available” if she ever wants to return. Ultimately, the song captures that raw mix of heartbreak, ego, and lingering passion that makes moving on so hard—and dancing to it so irresistible.
