Un Polvito + Lyrics Translation – Maisak | Maluma
The song tells the story of a relationship that ended not because of the people, but the timing. Maluma sings, ‘It wasn’t you, it wasn’t me, I think it was just the wrong phase.’ The lyrics describe the pain of walking away from someone you love to save them from future hurt, mixing regret with a sense of responsibility.

DiceHe says
Éramos perfectos, nada nos faltabaWe were perfect, we had everything we needed
No eras tú, no era yo, creo que fue la etapa equivocada (Dice)It wasn’t you, it wasn’t me, I think it was just the wrong phase (He says)
Yo con mis defectos, pero igual te amabaMe with my flaws, but I loved you all the same
Tal vez ahora no vas a entender, pero después me vas a agradecerMaybe you won’t understand right now, but later you’ll thank me
Mi corazón me está diciendo que te extrañoMy heart’s telling me that I miss you,
Pero prefiero irme antes de que te haga dañobut I’d rather leave before I cause you any pain
Reina, no estés triste, lo hago porque te amoQueen, don’t be sad, I’m doing this ’cause I love you,
Un polvito más y en este vicio nos quedamosone more night and we’ll be stuck in this habit
Mi corazón te está diciendo que te extrañoMy heart’s telling you that I miss you,

Siempre decimos que no y volvemos a repetirWe always say no and then we go and repeat it
Cuando me quiero alejar, tú te pones pa’ mí bella’When I want to distance myself, you get all flirty with me
Y así no me puedo resistir, no me puedo aguantarAnd that’s why I can’t resist, I can’t hold myself back
YeahYeah
Qué peye si te vas con otro, tercera vez que me equivocoIt’s a shame if you leave with someone else, third time I’ve been wrong
Me duele que por culpa tuya termine con el cora’ rotoIt hurts me that because of you I’ll end up with a broken heart
Qué peye que te vean con otro, no te dolió lo de nosotrosIt’s a pity they’ll see you with another, didn’t what we had hurt you?
Una cosa es lo que te diga yo, pero de verdadOne thing is what I might tell you, but the truth is
Mi corazón me está diciendo que te extrañoMy heart’s telling me that I miss you,
