Verse 1
I'm afraid to lose you
Even if I mess up, I want to see you
I wish you have good luck
I wish I was stronger
I'm afraid to lose you
Even if I mess up, I want to see you
I wish you have good luck
Ojalá is an interjection used to express desire. It can be translated as 'Hopefully' or 'I wish'
I wish I was stronger
Fuera is the subjunctive imperfect conjugation of ser / to be
Perhaps
Tal vez means maybe / perhaps and is a Spanish synonym to quizás
Someday I'll let you down
Te fallaré means I will fail you / I will let you down
And it's not because I stopped loving you
It's my natural instinct
At once
Or: Short for: 'De una vez por todas' = 'Once and for all'
Today I want to confess to you
But don't take it personal
It's my natural instinct
Prechorus 1
I'm not one of those who breaks a heart
Of course you're right
Tienes la razón is directly translated as 'you have the reason' and it means 'you are right'
I swear it's not my intention
And I warn you in advance
Chorus 1
That if I fall on other mouths
Or: If I fall down on other lips
I don't put my heart in those things
I swear, if we fight, it's not for another
It's my instinct, there's no other
And if I fall on other mouths
I don't put my heart in those things
I swear, if we fight, it's not for another
It's my instinct, there's no other
Verse 2
It's better that it hurts now, that I warn you
Than you get a message by surprise
That says that Juan is partying
Or: Juan is messing around at a party
And he's looking for what he already has on his table
And I lose like two to zero
Dos a cero probably refers to a famous soccer rivalry where USA won a series of matches with a 2-0 score against Mexico
Like a flight, when the plane is already in the sky
Like losing the sun with a downpour
Better not even wait, I have to be sincere
I'm afraid to lose you
Even if I mess up, I want to see you
I wish you have good luck
I wish I was stronger
I'm afraid to lose you
Even if I mess up, I want to see you
I wish you have good luck
I wish I was stronger
Prechorus 2
I am not one of those who breaks a heart
Of course you're right
I swear it's not my intention
Or: I swear to you that it's not my intention
I warn you in advance
Chorus 2
That if I fall on other lips
I don't put my heart in those things
I swear, if we fight, it's not for another
It's my instinct, there's no other
It's my instinct, there's no other (reason / woman / way)
And if I fall on other mouths
I don't put my heart in those things
I swear, if we fight, it's not for another
It's my instinct, there's no other

aguacero — downpour

Aguacero means a sudden, heavy downpour of rain. It's a vivid and dramatic word that isn't typical in most pop lyrics.

Maluma uses it in a striking metaphor: "Como perder el sol con un aguacero" (Like losing the sun to a downpour). He's illustrating how a moment of happiness and clarity can be instantly ruined by a sudden disaster, perfectly capturing the fear of ruining his relationship.

Maluma and Sech team up on "Instinto Natural" to deliver one of the most audacious confessions you will ever hear in reggaeton. Instead of hiding behind sweet lies, Maluma lays all his flaws out on the table before anything even happens. He straight up warns his partner that he might slip up later: "Tal vez algún día yo te fallaré... Es mi instinto natural" ("Maybe one day I'll fail you... It's my natural instinct"). He admits upfront that he fears losing her ("Me da miedo perderte"), yet he bluntly predicts his own mistakes with "Aunque la cague quiero verte" ("Even if I mess up, I want to see you"). In colloquial Spanish, la cague comes from the verb cagar, which literally means to crap, but here functions as the informal slang for screwing up royally.

His logic is hilariously brazen: he argues that kissing someone else would strictly be physical biology, swearing "si caigo en otras bocas, no meto el corazón en esas cosas" ("if I fall into other mouths, I don't put my heart into those things"). Maluma even drops his real first name, Juan, when imagining the exact rumor that could blow up his relationship: "Que diga que Juan anda de fiesta y está buscando lo que ya tiene en su mesa" ("Saying that Juan is out partying and looking for what he already has on his table"). It is a funny, shamelessly blunt excuse for infidelity, wrapped in an infectious groove where he begs his partner not to take his weaknesses personally.
