Cobarde means "coward". It's a strong word used to describe someone who lacks bravery, especially when facing a difficult or dangerous situation.
In this raw and honest song, Bad Bunny calls himself a cobarde. He sings, "Ya sé que soy un cobarde" (I already know I'm a coward), as he explains his decision to leave a relationship to avoid causing more pain. This vulnerable confession is central to the song's story of heartbreak and regret, making it a very powerful word to learn.
Bad Bunny teams up with the world of The Simpsons for a track that starts in pure Springfield fashion. Homer gets scolded over cold dinner because he was busy looking at "fotos de otras cenas" (photos of other dinners) on his phone instead of paying attention to his family. From there, the Puerto Rican superstar steps in to deliver a painfully honest apology from someone who realizes they messed up big time.
Bad Bunny does not sugarcoat his mistakes. He straight up admits, "Yo sé que soy un cabrón" (I know I'm a jerk) and "Ya sé que soy un cobarde" (I already know I'm a coward). In Puerto Rican and Latin American Spanish, cabrón can mean a lot of things depending on tone, but here it is pure self-blame. Instead of offering empty excuses, he asks, "¿De qué valen las flores y los regalos?" (What good are flowers and gifts?) when broken promises and lies keep repeating. His ultimate conclusion is that walking away is the only decent thing left to do: "Te deseo lo mejor / Ojalá que te olvides de mí" (I wish you the best / I hope you forget about me).
