Verse 1

You are a ten, but you're still with that guy

Who doesn't even measure up to you, and doesn't seem your type

Lit: That doesn't even reach your feet, and doesn't even seem like your type

Many vacation photos over there in Tulum

Tulum is a town on the Caribbean coastline of Mexico's Yucatán Peninsula

But I know that your heart doesn't go turum turum

Baby, you're wasting your time

How good that I arrived in time

Chorus 1

Baby, what I was missing was you

You're the tastiest thing on the menu

Tell him to say goodbye

That you're already convinced

Baby, what I was missing was you

You're the tastiest thing on the menu

Tell him to say goodbye

That you're already convinced

And that you already have another man

If you want, tell him my name

That the food gets cold

When it's neglected

Tell him that you have another man

If you want, tell him my name

That the food gets cold

When it's neglected

Eso es, Grupo Frontera, ¡Chau! Y la Doble P = That's it, Grupo Frontera! Hey! And Doble P

Verse 2

Baby, our moment has arrived

He bought you a Rolex, but I gave you my time

He has mansions, but I in my apartment

I made you feel things that the wind doesn't take away

Baby, I'm sorry

But the one who lost

Babe, you're the one who won

You're like a piano that I never play

And if we go far and end up like this

Drinking, dancing

On a little beach without clothes

While your body goes swimming

Chorus 2

Baby, what I was missing was you

You're the tastiest thing on the menu

Tell him to say goodbye

That you're already convinced

Baby, what I was missing was you

You're the tastiest thing on the menu

Tell him to say goodbye

That you're already convinced

Tell him that you have another man

If you want, tell him my name

That the food gets cold

When it's neglected

And that you already have another man

If you want, tell him my name

That the food gets cold

When it's neglected

turum turum — boom boom / thump thump

Turum turum is a fun, onomatopoeic phrase that mimics the sound of a beating heart, similar to 'boom boom' or 'thump thump' in English.

In the song, Peso Pluma sings "tu cora no te hace turum turum" (your heart doesn't go boom boom), cheekily telling a girl that her current boyfriend doesn't excite her or make her heart race. It's a playful and catchy way to talk about romantic chemistry and a perfect example of how sound effects are used in Spanish music.

In "TULUM," Mexican star Peso Pluma joins forces with Grupo Frontera to deliver a cheeky corrido tumbado about swooping in on someone else's partner. The story starts with a reality check: a girl is dating a guy far below her league. Sure, her feed is full of sunny vacation posts, but the lyrics call out the illusion: "Muchas fotos de vacaciones por allá en Tulum / Pero sé que tu cora no te hace turum turum" [Lots of vacation photos over in Tulum / But I know your heart doesn't go boom boom]. Here, cora is short for corazón (heart), and turum turum is just the playful beat of real excitement that her wealthy boyfriend fails to trigger.

The song really hits its stride when comparing cold luxury with genuine attention. Her partner can afford luxury watches and huge houses, but Peso Pluma counters: "Él te compró un Rolex, pero yo te di mi tiempo / Él tiene mansiones, pero yo en mi apartamento / Te hice sentir cosas que no se las lleva el viento" [He bought you a Rolex, but I gave you my time / He has mansions, but in my apartment / I made you feel things that the wind won't blow away]. The singers playfully advise her to break the news using a classic food metaphor: "Que la comida se enfría / Cuando se descuida" [Food gets cold / When it is neglected]. It is a bold, breezy reminder that neglect always opens the door for someone else to step in.
