So you will see the genuine change inside of me
Le he gastado el tiempo a tu reloj
I have wasted the time on your clock
Pero voy a luchar por ti aunque no quieras
But I will fight for you even if you don't want me to
Lo que esperabas demoró
What you were waiting for took a while
But it's better late than never
But it's better late than never
[Verso 1: Prince Royce, Romeo Santos & Ambos]

Oh-oh, bebé, dame otro chance para que veas

Escúchame, mi amor
Listen to me, my love
Yo ya perdí la cuenta de tantos errores
I already lost count of so many mistakes
Dime si sabes
Tell me if you know
Las abejas más dañinas complementan las flores
The most harmful bees complement the flowers
[Pre-Coro: Prince Royce & Romeo Santos]
Si abres tus DMs, vas a ver un millón de mis disculpas
If you open your DMs, you will see a million apologies from me
Y ya que me bloqueaste, iré a tu casa a ver si me resulta
And since you blocked me, I'll go to your house to see if that works for me

No digas nada, que ya cambié mi corazón
Don't say anything, for I have already changed my heart
Y te presento esta versión de un hombre renovado
And I present to you this version of a renewed man
Mejor tarde que nunca
Better late than never
Tú lo anhelabas, por fin maduré cuando te perdí
You longed for it, I finally matured when I lost you
Quizás te verás más bella sin mí
Maybe you will look more beautiful without me
No olvides, más vale tarde que no hacerlo nunca
Don't forget, it's better late than never doing it at all
[Verso 2: Prince Royce & Romeo Santos]
Tu amiga dice que tienes pareja, y se burla de mí
Your friend says you have a partner, and she mocks me
Ojalá el rumor no sea cierto

The love we lost remains unconditional to me
Y te me vas, dejándome en la carretera
And you are leaving me, leaving me on the road
Y solo quiero darte un beso
And I just want to give you a kiss
Yo te hago una propuesta, mi santa, quédate solo conmigo
I'll make you a proposal, my saint, stay only with me
Aunque yo fui soberbio y canalla
Although I was arrogant and a scoundrel
I promise, eres mía
I promise, you are mine
[Coro Repita]
