ROSS Lyrics Meaning Joaquin Medina | Polimá Westcoast | JOTA EME
The lyrics describe a relationship’s end with raw honesty. ‘I went to Ross just to get you a gift,’ the narrator sings, contrasting his modest efforts with a rival’s lavish spending. The songwriter reflects on moments like Valentine’s Day, the Jeep rides, and the unanswered calls, painting a vivid picture of love lost.
Ya que se acabe la botella porque ya no quiero saber de ellaLet this bottle run out, because I don’t want to know about her anymore.
Ya vi cómo otras me miraban y yo solo pensando en aquellaI saw how other girls looked at me, while I was only thinking of her.
Y aunque todo fue pasajero, no se me olvidaron los “Te quiero”And even though it was all temporary, I haven’t forgotten those “I love you”s.
Ni los momentos a tu lado, menos el 14 de febreroNor the moments by your side, and especially not February 14th.

Estaba peda y confundida, prendió el cocheshe was drunk and confused, and she started her car.
Según andaba con su amiga, y los reprochesShe claimed she was with her friend, but all my complaints,
No justifican quién le regaló ese Dolce, y se fue en el Porschedon’t explain who bought her that Dolce, as she left in the Porsche.
Dime qué te faltó que quisiste pelarteTell me what you were missing that made you want to escape?
La llamada al buzón, está en modo avión, no quieres hablarmeMy calls go straight to voicemail, your phone’s on airplane mode, and you don’t want to speak to me.

Te imagino aquí, brincando encima de míI still imagine you here, jumping on top of me.
La monté en el Jeep, la llevé al VIPI had her riding in my Jeep, and I took her straight to the VIP.
Ahora sé que no me conoce y no quiere saber de míNow I know she acts like a stranger, and she wants nothing to do with me.
