Aguantar means 'to endure' or 'to bear'. It's a powerful verb that conveys the struggle of holding on through immense pain or difficulty.
In this heartbreaking song, Ozuna asks, "Dime cómo aguantar tanto dolor" (Tell me how to endure so much pain). This word perfectly captures his desperation and the heavy weight of a feeling he can no longer handle, making it a key part of the song's story.
In "Te Vas", Puerto Rican reggaeton star Ozuna delivers a tear-soaked confession about being ghosted by someone he loves. The entire track feels like a desperate midnight voice note where he admits he cannot sleep anymore: "Ya ni duermo / Al saber que a mi lado no estás" ("I don't even sleep anymore / Knowing you are not by my side"). Instead of getting angry, he spirals into self-blame, repeating the hook "Y te vas / Sin decirme nada / Sin saber un por qué" ("And you leave / Without telling me anything / Without knowing why") while begging to know if he was the one who messed up: "Dime la verdad / Si fui yo el que fallé" ("Tell me the truth / If it was me who failed").
Notice the casual phrasing Ozuna drops in the second verse with "To' lo pagaría por tener tus besos" ("I'd pay everything to have your kisses"). In spoken Spanish and reggaeton lyrics, "to'" is a standard contraction of "todo" (everything/all), mimicking natural street speech. He even pushes his pride aside entirely with "Y tienes la razón solo pido perdón" ("And you're right, I just ask for forgiveness"), admitting he will take the blame just to get an answer to his misery.
