Misterio Lyrics (English Translation) – J Balvin, Gilberto Santa Rosa

Misterio (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: J Balvin]
He’s saying he thought he found something deep and special in the other person, but he was mistaken. Even though they shared intense moments like locking eyes, he couldn’t truly connect with her. Their hearts weren’t aligned, and it feels like there are old secrets still lingering between them. Now, he’s trying to make sense of what went wrong.

[Chorus: J Balvin]
He’s struggling to understand how their strong love slipped away—it just doesn’t make sense to him. They had something powerful, like an empire, and yet they let it all go. Now he’s wondering who ended up with her, who gets to be close to her every day. He can’t figure out why she would think he wasn’t serious about their relationship when his feelings were real and deep.

[Verse 1: J Balvin]
He’s explaining that the emotional pain from losing love is deeper than just going through a breakup. He’s hurting badly and wonders how she’s managing to stay so composed. He believes she’s lying to herself about what she really feels. To him, their physical connection was special, different from anything she could have with someone else. But now she’s gone, someone new stepped in, and everything’s a mess. Even casual flings feel empty to him. His room feels like a war zone, filled with confusion and heartbreak.

[Interlude: Gilberto Santa Rosa]
He’s offering a bit of wisdom, saying love isn’t always what people think. Sometimes it’s amazing, and other times, it brings pain—you just have to go through it to understand both sides.

[Chorus: J Balvin & Gilberto Santa Rosa]
They’re both trying to process how their love fell apart. They had something beautiful, like building a life together, and still ended up losing it. Balvin keeps asking who she ended up with, who now shares the moments that used to be theirs. He’s shocked she ever doubted how serious he was about them. They repeat the chorus as if trying to find answers, still stuck on how something so strong turned into a mystery and disappeared from their lives.

[Verse 2: Gilberto Santa Rosa]
He’s trying to break it down, wondering what exactly went wrong. Was something missing? Who made the mistake? He admits love is complicated and that no one really has full control over it. Even though they built something big, it’s now gone—and they’re both left trying to figure out how it happened. He doesn’t blame just one of them, but says they both share the fault.

[Bridge: Gilberto Santa Rosa]
He’s reflecting on how love can slowly fall apart—maybe through misunderstandings or just drifting apart. What started as something grand ended in chaos and pain. He talks about how things lost their meaning—words felt empty, and the connection faded. He accepts that love ends, just like the song says, even when no one wants it to.

[Interlude: Gilberto Santa Rosa]
He’s encouraging reflection—take a step back, look again, and maybe learn from it.

[Chorus: J Balvin & Gilberto Santa Rosa]
Once more, they go back to the question that haunts them—how did something so strong break down? They had everything, and yet it slipped through their hands. He still can’t understand why she thought his love wasn’t real.

[Outro: Gilberto Santa Rosa]
Gilberto gives Balvin some advice like an older friend. He warns him to be careful with love because it’s fragile and tricky. He speaks from experience, with the kind of wisdom that only comes from going through it himself. Then he repeats the question—how did love fall?—as if still searching for peace or closure.
