Solo Conmigo Lyrics in English by Romeo Santos
Derrochaste comes from the verb derrochar, which typically means to squander, waste, or lavishly spend money.
In this bachata song, Romeo Santos sings "Derrochaste sentimientos" (You squandered feelings) to describe how his partner poured out her precious emotions on past lovers who didn't understand her. This vivid financial metaphor makes it a truly memorable way to express the feeling of giving your heart to the wrong people.
Romeo Santos drops the judgment and brings pure, smooth bachata honesty in Solo Conmigo. Instead of obsessing over who came before him, he invites his partner to pour a drink and forget past gossip. He gets straight to the point with blunt lines like "No me importa lo que has hecho, adonde has dejado un brasier" ("I don't care what you've done, where you've left a bra"). To defend her past, he drops a cheeky biblical reference with "Que tire la primera piedra mujer que sea santa" ("Let the woman who is a saint cast the first stone") and jokes that "Solo la madre teresa fue sagrada con la piel" ("Only Mother Teresa was sacred with her skin"). Even better, Romeo makes a witty pun on his own name: "De santo solo tengo el apellido" ("The only saintly thing about me is my last name"), admitting he has his own bedroom secrets too.
The real punch of the song is the sharp difference he makes between casual physical intimacy and real romantic depth. He acknowledges the fairy-tale search that went wrong, singing "Tú besaste muchos príncipes buscando amor" ("You kissed many princes looking for love"). Others might have shared her bed, but Romeo claims the ultimate victory with the old proverb "el ríe al último ríe mejor" ("he who laughs last, laughs best"). In his eyes, a crowded mattress means nothing when he is the only one who truly touched her soul: "Ha presenciado mucho sexo en tu colchón / Pero el amor solo conmigo" ("The pillow has witnessed a lot of sex on your mattress / But love, only with me").
