Balance Lyrics in English Maluma

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Balance by Maluma from Spanish to English.
She's going on exchange to Madrid
Besides clothes in her suitcase
She carries the things that I gave her
Some keepsakes to see if she doesn't forget about me
A couple photos from that day that I met her
I knew that she was leaving, it's just that I got carried away
One of these days I'll tell her if I regretted it
It's that life is a balance
And you have mine
Every time that I lose focus
In you I find the way
It's that life is a balance
And you have mine
Every time that I lose focus
In you I find the way
With you life is beautiful
What was it that you were doing to me?
How can I forget that night in San Juan
From a motel to Carolina
You know what I was doing
When you were telling me
That I f*ck great and that you'd never leave again
And I, like a fool, believed you
And if all this is witchcraft, babe, and
Forgive me that I play mind games with you
It's that I don't want you to replace me
To forget you I've already f*cked a few
It's that life is a balance
And you have mine
Every time that I lose focus
In you I find the way
It's that life is a balance
And you have mine
Every time that I lose focus
In you I find the way
That *ss messed up my whole balance
What the f*ck, what's she got there? She won't deal that
Look, I'm horny, please hurry up
Or else I'll have to go after you
Forgive me that I play mind games with you
It's that I don't want you to replace me
To forget you I've already f*cked a few
Forgive me that I play mind games with you
It's that I don't want you to replace me
To forget you I've already f*cked a few
It's that life is a balance
And you have mine
Every time that I lose focus
In you I find the way
Maluma, ba-ba-baby
Babe
Don Juan
MadMusick
babe
Royalty
I miss you, I need you
When are you gonna get to Medellín for me, then?

SONG MEANING

Balance spins a story of love, lust, and longing on the road between Medellín and Madrid. Maluma sings about a girl who leaves Colombia for a study-abroad adventure, packing more than clothes—she also carries the memories, photos, and little gifts that tie her to him. While she chases new experiences, he is stuck in that bittersweet space where passion meets insecurity. Life, he says, is all about balance, and she is the steady center of his world. Every time he feels lost, thinking back to her voice, her body, and their wild nights together helps him “find the path” again.

Yet the song is not a gentle ballad; it is a raw confession filled with jealousy, playful “mental games,” and steamy flashbacks. Maluma tries to forget her with casual hookups, but nothing resets the scales. The chorus repeats like a mantra—la vida es un balance, y tú tienes el mío—reminding us that real equilibrium comes from the one person who truly moves us. The mix of urban beats, seductive lyrics, and heartfelt vulnerability makes “Balance” a catchy anthem for anyone who has tried (and failed) to replace a love that feels irreplaceable.
