Better Late Than Never (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro: Romeo Santos & Prince Royce]
He’s opening up completely, trying to show he’s not the same person he used to be. He admits he wasted her time and didn’t appreciate her before, but now he wants to fight for the relationship no matter how she reacts. He knows he took too long to grow up, but he hopes she can see that finally changing, even if it’s late, is still something worth noticing.

[Verse 1: Prince Royce, Romeo Santos & Both]
He believes the relationship is worth giving one last try and begs her for another chance so she can see how serious he is now. He admits he’s made so many mistakes he’s lost track. Then he compares their situation to how even troublesome bees still help flowers grow, hinting that flawed people can still bring something good to someone’s life.

[Pre-Chorus: Prince Royce & Romeo Santos]
He’s been sending endless apologies that she hasn’t seen because she blocked him, so he’s ready to show up in person and hope she’ll listen.

[Chorus: Romeo Santos & Prince Royce]
He tells her not to argue because he’s truly changed and wants her to see this new version of himself. He finally became the person she always hoped he would be, even if it happened after losing her. He admits she might even look happier without him, but he still reminds her that sometimes arriving late with real growth is better than never changing at all.

[Interlude: Prince Royce & Romeo Santos]
They’re basically hyping each other up with quick shoutouts.

[Verse 2: Prince Royce & Romeo Santos]
He hears from her friend that she might be with someone else, and the friend even laughs at him about it. He’s hoping it’s just a rumor and not something real.

[Pre-Chorus: Prince Royce & Romeo Santos]
He repeats that if she checked her messages, she’d see all his apologies, and since she blocked him, he’s willing to go to her place again and hope she’ll finally hear him out.

[Chorus: Romeo Santos & Prince Royce]
He insists again that she doesn’t need to say anything because he’s already transformed himself. He shows her the improved version of who he is now. He knows she waited for this change, and it finally happened when he lost her. He accepts she might seem better off without him, but he still believes showing up late with real change is better than never doing it at all.

[Bridge: Romeo Santos & Prince Royce]
He still feels deep, unconditional love even though they’ve gone separate ways, and he feels abandoned and hurt. All he wants is a moment with her, even just a kiss. He asks her to stay with him and promises loyalty from now on. He knows he acted badly before, but he’s trying to convince her that he’s ready to be the man she deserved all along.

[Chorus: Romeo Santos & Prince Royce]
He repeats that she doesn’t need to respond because he’s already fixed himself inside. He shows her this changed version of who he is and reminds her again that even though he matured late, it still counts. He admits she might look happier without him, but he doesn’t want her to forget that late growth is still better than never growing at all.
