No Se Va Lyrics in English by Morat

Bala perdida literally translates to "stray bullet". While it can sometimes be used to describe a reckless or unpredictable person, in this song, it's used as a powerful and romantic metaphor.

Morat sings, "Tú eres mi bala perdida" (You are my stray bullet), to describe a love that came into his life unexpectedly and had a massive impact. It's a poetic way of saying this person was a one-in-a-million shot that he never saw coming but that changed his life completely.

Colombian folk-pop band Morat writes hook-filled songs about messy feelings, and "No Se Va" (It Doesn't Go Away) hits right at that stage of a breakup where your brain refuses to cooperate. The narrator starts with a bitter truth: "Tan fácil que es enamorarme / Y tan difícil olvidarte" (How easy it is to fall in love / And how difficult to forget you). He is in full denial mode. Instead of moving on, he is literally training his broken heart to be ready just in case she shows up tomorrow ("Yo entreno a mi corazón roto / Por si mañana él te vuelve a encontrar").

The desperation ramps up with the repeated plea "Quédate otra vez" (Stay again), asking her to stay past midnight, stay the whole night, or just stay for life. In one great line, he calls her his "bala perdida" (stray bullet)—an idiom for someone unpredictable or reckless who hits you out of nowhere. He even swears he would search "De Bogotá hasta Buenos Aires" (From Bogotá to Buenos Aires) just to track her down. It is an honest, slightly obsessive look at someone who dials the phone knowing they cannot speak, fully convinced that a love like that simply never leaves.
