La Hora Lyrics Translation – L-Gante | Yael Ytbm
The songwriter notes, ‘Forgive me for the hour, I’m writing to you from the heart,’ as the narrator apologizes for past mistakes. The lyrics describe leaving behind a wild lifestyle for a chance at love, with details like leaving the club at 6 a.m. and rolling one up while waiting at home. These moments bring the story to life.
¿Qué fue lo que pasó, mi amor?What happened, my love?
¿Qué fue lo que hicimos pa’ que el plan no saliera?What did we do that made our plan fall apart?
Si yo te dije que fuiste la primeraSince I told you that you were the first,
En demostrarme eso que llaman amorto show me this thing they call love,
Y que se paga con favor por favorand that favors are paid with favors.
Perdoname la hora, yo te escribo de coraForgive me for the hour, I’m writing to you from the heart.
Espero que lo leas sola, yo ya me alejé de toda’ esas tr#la’I hope you read this alone, I’ve already distanced myself from all those ‘fl#ngs’.
Perdoname la hora, te sigo llevando en el coraForgive me for the hour, I still carry you in my heart.
Espero que lo leas sola, mami, por vos yo hasta dejo la jodaI hope you read this alone, mami, for you I’d even leave the ‘party life’ behind.
