Consejo De Amor Lyrics in English by TINI, Morat

Desgracia is a powerful Spanish word for "misfortune" or "tragedy". It conveys a much deeper sense of sorrow than simply saying something is sad, referring to a terrible event or stroke of bad luck.

In the song, TINI delivers the heartbreaking line, "Y no hay peor desgracia que extrañar lo que nunca pasó" (And there is no worse tragedy than missing what never happened). She uses desgracia to describe the ultimate pain of longing for a love and a future that never came to be.

Have you ever looked at an ex who moved on too fast and thought, “You should have asked me first”? That is the exact blend of heartbreak and wry pride powering "Consejo De Amor", where Argentine pop star TINI teams up with the Colombian folk-pop group Morat. The central theme revolves around the painful phantom of what could have been: "Pude haber sido yo" ("It could have been me"). Instead of a mutual breakup, the lyrics tell a story of someone who was left on the sidelines while a new lover stole their partner away ("alguien sin piedad me lo robó" [someone mercilessly stole it from me]). The drama hits its peak when the narrator admits they would rather pretend to be thrilled for you than accept you walked away, comparing romance to a violent battlefield where "siempre hay balas perdidas" ("there are always stray bullets").

What makes this track great for Spanish learners is how neatly it pairs classic romantic regret with everyday expressions. Take the line "no hay peor desgracia que extrañar lo que nunca pasó" ("there is no worse tragedy than missing what never happened")—it puts a name to that lingering grief over an unlived future. There is also sharp, self-aware humor in "No me obligues a disimular que quizá no te vi... aunque si yo fuera tú, no me creo" ("Don't force me to pretend I didn't see you... although if I were you, I wouldn't believe me either"). Morat and TINI turn romantic denial into an infectious pop anthem about being stranded at a train station ("buscando un beso tuyo en la estación" [looking for a kiss of yours at the station]), waiting on a person who made the fatal mistake of skipping out on their best piece of love advice.
