The lyrics describe a club encounter where old flames reignite. Maluma sings, ‘If they ask her if she’s over me and she says yes, she’s lying to you.’ The poet uses the club setting to highlight the tension and unspoken feelings between two people who aren’t ready to let go.
Maluma, ba-ba-babyMaluma, ba-ba-baby.
Te vi en la disco perreando con otroI saw you at the club, dancing close with someone else,
Pero pusieron el disco que era de nosotrosbut then they played the record that belonged to us.
Me miraste a los ojos, te reísteYou looked me in the eyes and you laughed,
Ya con eso todo me dijisteand with that, you’ve already told me everything.
Pensaba que me superaste porque no volvisteI thought you’d moved on because you never came back.
Al parecer la baby no me olvidó, sigue pendienteIt seems like you haven’t forgotten me, you’re still waiting.
Quiere ignorarme, pero es que la tensión se ve, se sienteShe wants to ignore me, but you can see and feel the tension.
Si le pregunta que si ya me olvidó y dice que sí, te mienteIf they ask her if she’s over me and she says yes, she’s lying to you.
No es un secreto que entre ella y yo quedaron cosas pendientesIt’s no secret that there’s still unfinished business between her and I.
Al parecer la baby no me olvidó, sigue pendienteApparently, my baby hasn’t moved on, she’s still lingering.
Quiere ignorarme, pero es que la tensión se ve, se sienteShe’s trying to ignore me, but the chemistry is there for all to see.
Si le pregunta que si ya me olvidó y dice que sí, te mienteIf anyone asks if she’s forgotten me and she says yes, she’s lying.
No es un secreto que entre ella y yo quedaron cosas pendientesIt’s no secret that there’s still something left between us.
Quedaron cosas pendientes, una noche caliente, una cena románticaWe’ve got unfinished business, a passionate night, and a romantic dinner.
¿Por qué me ves diferente delante ‘e la gente? Te haces la antipáticaWhy do you look at me differently in front of people? You’re acting so cold.
Quieres quedar como la buena, mamiYou want to look like the good one, baby,
Tú sabes que eso sigue siendo pa’ míbut you know that it all still belongs to me.
Mirando fotos, en la tuya caíWhile looking through photos, I got stuck on yours,
Y no te niego, cariñito me diand I won’t deny it, I gave myself a little affection.
No sé por qué lo intentaste con el siguienteI don’t know why you tried to move on with the next guy,
Si para superarme no estás preparadabecause you aren’t ready to get over me.
La huella que te dejé sigue permanenteThe mark I left on you remains permanent,
Como un tatuaje, eso ya no lo borra nadalike a tattoo that nothing can ever erase.
¿SeráCould it be
Que te hago falta, bebé?that you miss me, baby?
Que él no te llena con na’That he doesn’t fulfill you at all,
Que me olvidaste juréand I swore that you’d forgotten me?
Y al parecer la baby no me olvidó, sigue pendienteIt looks like she hasn’t forgotten me, she’s still holding on.
