Verse 1

Damn the three in the morning

When your memory knocks on the door

A part of me won't let it in

And the other part opens the window for it

Verse 2

I don't want to hear that song

I don't want to scream your name

If I lose my mind, my heart responds

Chorus 1

I will never forget you

And it doesn't make sense to try

Because a love like this won't come again

Because a love like this only comes once

I will never forget you

And your memory is killing me

And even though a love like this won't come again

Verse 3

Like an idiot, I keep searching

And even though I keep calling you, I know

That I am to blame for saying goodbye

And why am I shouting at you? Come, forgive me

Tell me what good it does to waste my voice

If you're going to forgive me and not come back

Bridge

Turn around

Lie, say you feel something when

I turn around

And even though I try

Prechorus 1

Everyone tells me to be patient

To test you with my absence

But no one sees the consequences

Of this game not going well

Prechorus 2

Everyone tells me to be patient

To test you with my absence

But no one sees the consequences

Because no one understands that

Chorus 2

I will never forget you

And it doesn't make sense to try

Because a love like this won't come again

Because a love like this only comes once

I will never forget you

And your memory is killing me

Even though a love like this won't come again

Prechorus 3

Like an idiot, I keep searching

Everyone tells me to be patient

To test you with my absence

But no one sees the consequences

Of this game not going well

Prechorus 4

Everyone tells me to be patient

To test you with my absence

But no one sees the consequences

Because no one understands that

Outro 1

Like an idiot

Outro 1

And even though a love like this won't come again

Like an idiot, I keep searching

Outro 2

Like an idiot

Outro 2

And even though a love like this won't come again

Like an idiot, I keep searching

Did you like this lyrics translation?

malgastar — to waste

Malgastar means 'to waste' or 'to squander'. It's a strong verb that conveys a sense of regret and futility, making it more impactful than a simpler word for 'waste'.

In the song, the singer asks, "¿De qué me sirve malgastar mi voz?" (What good is it for me to waste my voice?). This highlights his frustration and the realization that his efforts to call out to his lost love are in vain, adding a layer of emotional depth to the lyrics.

Have you ever stared at the ceiling at 3:00 AM while your brain tears itself in two? Colombian band Morat team up with Mexican pop star Danna Paola for this catchy folk-pop track about that exact late-night spiral. Right from the jump, the narrator curses the hour: "Malditas sean las tres de la mañana / Cuando a la puerta tu recuerdo llama" [Curse three in the morning / When your memory knocks on the door]. One half of the mind tries to slam the door shut, while the other sneakily opens the window to let the memory right back in. Even though they admit it was their own fault for ending things ("yo tengo la culpa de decir adiós" [it's my fault for saying goodbye]), they cannot stop obsessing.

Friends keep offering bad, textbook dating advice: "Todos me dicen que paciencia / Que te ponga a prueba con mi ausencia" [Everyone tells me to have patience / To test you with my absence]. Basically, the old "play hard to get" trick. But as the lyrics point out, playing games can blow up in your face if the other person simply moves on. Believing that a once-in-a-lifetime love won't ever happen twice, the narrator admits they feel ridiculous: "Como un idiota sigo buscando" [Like an idiot, I keep searching]. It is desperate, totally stubborn, and painfully relatable when you know you should let go but just refuse to.
