I'm not Diomedes, but you make my days

You know that I am sure

People were laughing

And here we are, head over heels

As far as I'm concerned, let them say whatever they want

That's pure nonsense

I don't care as long as

We're this in love

Not even you believe that, and now you like it

This little coastal accent, for a paisa like you

There'll always be a coastal dude like me

We don't care if they see us making love

And you, all classy, and now you like it

This little coastal accent, for a babe like you

There'll always be a coastal dude like me, like me

We don't care if they see us making love

What we're living is the sh*t

Whatever they say out there, I can ignore it

They thought that you were all for show

And we're on fire, standing our ground

You didn't like coastal dudes like me

But I earned the spot

I'm not pay-by-the-drop, but I'll still offer myself

Always original, there's never an excuse

To do it to you

You were missing someone like me, me

And I, one as tasty as you

That a*s of yours has no comparison

And not even you believe that, and now you like it

This little coastal accent, for a paisa like you

There'll always be a coastal dude like me

We don't care if they see us making love

And you, all classy, and now you like it

This little coastal accent, for a babe like you

There'll always be a coastal dude like me, oh, like me

We don't care if they see us making love

I'm not Diomedes, but you make my days

You know that I am sure

People were laughing

And here we are, head over heels

As far as I'm concerned, let them say whatever they want

That's pure nonsense

I don't care as long as

We're this in love

This is Arti, babe

We're making a lot of noise

The originals

You know how those codes are

Write it down

Guillame in the house

SONG MEANING

“Un Coleto Como Yo” is Altafulla’s cheeky love letter to mismatched romance. Over a danceable beat, the singer proudly wears his acentico costeño – the laid-back coastal twang – while flirting with a sophisticated paisa girl who once swore she would never fall for a “coleto” like him. He jokes that he is no Diomedes Díaz, yet her presence “makes his days,” and both shrug off the gossip swirling around their unlikely pairing. The message is clear: social labels, accents, and rumors cannot compete with genuine chemistry.

Across the verses, Altafulla celebrates staying authentic. He boasts that he “earned his spot” in her heart, refuses to hide their passion, and silences critics with carefree confidence. The track blends playful bravado, regional slang, and spicy admiration for his lover’s curves, turning their story into an anthem of self-acceptance and rebellious love. Whether you are from the coast, the mountains, or anywhere in between, the song reminds us that when attraction sparks, rules and stereotypes melt away – there will always be a “coleto” bold enough to cross the line for love.
