Verse 1

You cried first

And although I came to regret

It was already three months too late

But let's be honest

I didn't want to say goodbye

And you didn't want to forget me

Prechorus 1

I'm so regretful, so regretful

Because I was a coward who out of pride is not with you

I'm so regretful, so regretful

Chorus 1

I know that they don't scare you anymore with my name

And surely you don't hide a sigh if you see me

I know that your memory is failing

And at worst our story doesn't hang anymore from a maybe

But if everything goes well

I won't have more nightmares

Or: I won't have nightmares anymore

Nor scraped knees for begging at your feet

And if you dare to come back

You'll remember without me telling you

That I never forgot you

Verse 2

I'll never hide that it was my mistake

Because I became deaf to your voice

And when I needed it, it was gone

I thought that there was nothing to lose

But I was blind not to understand

That's how I lost the right to your gaze

Prechorus 2

I'm so regretful, so regretful

Because I was a coward who out of pride is not with you

I'm so regretful, so regretful

Chorus 2

I know that they don't scare you anymore with my name

And surely you don't hide a sigh if you see me

I know that your memory is failing

And at worst our story doesn't hang anymore from a maybe

But if everything goes well

I won't have more nightmares

Nor scraped knees for begging at your feet

And if you dare to come back

You'll remember without me telling you

That I never forgot you

That I never, never, never forgot you

That I never forgot you

Verse 3

For saving myself an I love you

I didn't count the scars that it was going to cost to wait for you

But let's be honest

I didn't want to say goodbye

And you didn't want to forget me

Chorus 3

I know that they don't scare you anymore with my name

And surely you don't hide a sigh if you see me

I know that your memory is failing

And at worst our story doesn't hang anymore from a maybe

But if everything goes well

I won't have more nightmares

Nor scraped knees for begging at your feet

And if you dare to come back

You'll remember without me telling you

That I never forgot you

arrepentido — repentant / regretful

Arrepentido means deeply regretful or repentant, and it's packed with intense emotion. It's a more powerful and specific term than the common lo siento, as it conveys a profound sense of remorse and guilt for a past action.

In this song, the singer repeatedly emphasizes "Estoy tan arrepentido" (I am so regretful) for letting his pride and cowardice ruin the relationship. This word is the emotional core of the entire song, capturing the painful realization of having made an irreversible mistake, making it a very compelling word to learn.

Ever let pride ruin a great relationship, only to realize your mistake months down the road? That is the exact mess Colombian folk-pop group Morat unpacks in "Nunca Te Olvidé". The narrator admits he was a coward who stayed away out of sheer stubbornness, realizing his apology came three months too late ("Ya eran tres meses muy tarde" [It was already three months too late]). He ignored her calls ("me hice el sordo con tu voz" [I turned a deaf ear to your voice]) to save his pride, and now he is paying the bill with bad dreams and scraped knees from begging for another chance ("Ni raspadas las rodillas por rogar ante tus pies" [Nor scraped knees from begging at your feet]).

There is a great turn of phrase worth watching for here: "nuestra historia ya no cuelga de un tal vez" (our story no longer hangs by a maybe). It means their romance does not even have the frail hope of a 'maybe' left to cling to; she has moved past the stage where hearing his name even rattles her. Still, he holds on to the wish that if she dares to come back, she will realize without him saying a word that he never forgot her ("Que nunca te olvidé"). It is dramatic, painfully honest about male ego, and packed with everyday phrases you can use when you owe someone a massive apology.
