Better Late Than Never’s Dardos Spanish Lyrics English Meaning
Santos describes dignity as a wall-mounted dartboard, enduring repeated wounds from a lover’s cruelty. Royce reinforces this with astrological contrasts – Cancer’s sensitivity broken by Leo’s dominance. Their shared pleas for minimal affection underscore the toxic dynamic: ‘Just a tiny bit’ becomes survival rations in emotional warfare.
Por Poquito Te Olvido De Verdad Y Había Dejado La BebidaI was so close to really forgetting you, and I’d even given up drinking.
La Señal Que Continúa Mi Mala Racha Tus Llamadas PerdidasYour missed calls are the sign that my bad luck streak is still going.
Quisiera Creer Que Yo Te Puedo Ignorar Que No Importas TantoI’d like to believe I can ignore you, that you don’t matter that much.
Mi Dignidad Es Un Tablero En La Pared Donde Tú Tiras DardosMy dignity is a dartboard on the wall where you throw your darts.
Para Ser Más Sincero Y CerteroTo be more honest and direct,
Mi Signo De Cáncer Es Muy Vulnerable Para Un LeoMy Cancer sign is far too vulnerable for a Leo.
Puede Que Sea Por Venus Que No PuedoIt might be because of Venus that I can’t,
Apagar Las Llamas Y Así Me Quemo En Tu FuegoPut out the flames, and so I just burn in your fire.
ÁmameLove me,
Solo Un CC Por Lo MenosJust a tiny bit, at least.
QuiéremeWant me,
Nada Ma’ Un Chinchín Te Lo RuegoJust a little sip, I’m begging you.
Cuidado No Abuses DemasiadoJust be careful not to overdo it,
DemasiadoToo much.
Comprobado Tú Eres Un Caramelo EnvenenadoIt’s proven, you’re a poisoned piece of candy.
