Verse 1

I already overcame and what I used to dream, now I achieved it

Now we're doing well, I won't say like in a car AMG

But I don't lack anything

I have food in my home and that's how I'm doing

That's enough for me

And that girl who didn't answer when I called her

And don't come to tell me: 'Lost one, now what do we do?'

And when I had nothing, not even money for a soda

And now I'm happy

Chorus 1

One, two, or three were the ones that I drank before leaving

And what hurt you is that I did the same thing to you that you did to me

Now things are clear

Drowning, you kick, but now you endure it

But now you endure it

If one day I said that I loved you, well now I say it to your face

That for me I won't repeat it anymore

I'll leave it to you, buddy Tony

And just like that, my buddy Xavi

And this is Kartel Music

Verse 2

Without worry, today I woke up without thinking about you

I already overcame, and on the contrary, I'm happier

A little drink to forget

It was just wasted time to be with you

To be with you

Chorus 2

One, two, or three were the ones that I drank before leaving

And what hurt you is that I did the same thing to you that you did to me

And now things are clear

And drowning, you kick, but now you endure it

But now you endure

If one day I said that I loved you, well now I say it to your face

That for me I won't repeat it anymore

ahogada — drowned / overwhelmed

Ahogada literally means "drowned" or "suffocated." In the song, it's used in the idiomatic phrase "ahogada tú das patadas" (drowned, you kick).

This vivid image describes someone who is overwhelmed, struggling, and lashing out in desperation, much like a person drowning would kick to stay afloat. It perfectly captures the ex-partner's futile attempts to regain control or hurt the singer, highlighting the song's theme of moving on and the other person's lingering struggle.

If you have ever wanted to tell an ex that you are doing just fine without them, "Ya Te Superé" brings that exact satisfaction. Mexican artist Xavi teams up with Tony Aguirre for a track about bouncing back and leveling up in life. Xavi keeps it real about his newfound comfort: he admits he is not cruising in a luxury Mercedes Benz ("no diré que en una mecha AMG" [I won't say in an AMG ride]), but he has food on the table, and that is plenty. It is an honest gloat aimed right at the girl who ignored his calls back when he was so broke he could not even buy a soft drink ("ni pa' una soda cargaba" [I didn't even carry enough for a soda]). Now she wants to come back, and he is happily shutting that door.

What makes the track hit home is the petty, eye-for-an-eye honesty. He admits he gave her a taste of her own medicine ("lo que te dolió es que te hice lo mismo que me hiciste a mí" [what hurt you is that I did the same thing to you that you did to me]). Xavi also drops a great everyday Mexican idiom when he tells her, "ahogada tú das patadas, pero ahora te aguantas" (drowning, you are kicking, but now you have to take it). It comes from the phrase dar patadas de ahogado (to kick like a drowning person), which describes someone flailing in desperation when they know they have already lost. Paired with a drink to forget her ("un traguito pa'l olvido" [a little drink for forgetting]), the song turns moving on into a victory lap.
