Verse 1

Yesterday I saw you

From afar I could notice that you're happy

Happy with him

Happy without me

Yesterday I saw you

I had never seen you smile like this

I think that you already forgot me

And that you didn't take long

Chorus 1

It's as if I were transparent before your eyes

As if we had never met

Oh, love, explain to me

How did we go from saying 'I love you' to being two strangers

Oh, love, it hurts to know that I fixed your heart

And you, without thinking, gave it to him

Unfair exchange

Verse 2

I gave you all of me and you took it

You only left me my life

You didn't even think twice

Look how you repaid me

I wish I could go back to the day that you crossed my path

I wish I could go back to the day that we met

So this time I won't greet you

Or: So that I wouldn't greet you this time

So I would have never loved you

And it wouldn't hurt to continue loving you, because

Chorus 2

It's as if I were transparent before your eyes

As if we had never met

Oh, love, explain to me

How did we go from saying 'I love you' to being two strangers

Oh, love, it hurts to know that I fixed your heart

And you, without thinking, gave it to him

Unfair exchange

SONG MEANING

Intercambio Injusto paints the painful moment when you spot an ex looking happier than ever with someone new. Ivan Cornejo watches from a distance, feeling “transparent,” as if their shared history simply vanished. The song captures that awful switch from whispering Te amo to acting like total strangers, and the shock of realizing how quickly someone can erase you from their life.

Cornejo calls the breakup an unfair trade: he mended her broken heart, only for her to hand it over to another man. With raw regional Mexican melodies, he wrestles with regret, wishing he could go back and skip saying hello so he would never have fallen in love in the first place. The track blends youthful vulnerability with traditional guitar sounds, making every listener relive that bittersweet mix of heartbreak, jealousy, and unanswered questions.
