Pobre de Mí

#Regrets#Perte#Solitude

[Verso 1]

[Verse 1]

Hace tiempo en todos lados te buscaba

For a long time I looked for you everywhere

Y teniéndote de frente te ignoraba

And having you right in front of me, I ignored you

Y darte tu lugar yo no quería

And I didn't want to give you your place

Aunque mi alma te anhelaba noche y día

Even though my soul longed for you night and day

[Pre-Coro]

[Pre-Chorus]

Cómo llegué hasta aquí, te tuve y te perdí

How did I end up here, I had you and I lost you

Por no aprender a valorarte

For never learning to value you

Muy grande me creí y por dejarte ir

I thought I was too great, and for letting you go

La soledad es mi acompañante

Loneliness is my companion

[Coro]

[Chorus]

Pobre de mí, pasar la vida sin ti

Poor me, spending life without you

Soportar mis días viéndote con otro

Enduring my days watching you with someone else

Pobre de mí si tú no vuelves aquí

Poor me if you don't come back here

Desde mi alma yo te estoy gritando

From my soul I'm crying out to you

Pobre de mí, pasar la vida sin ti

Poor me, spending life without you

Me estoy ahogando con mi propio llanto

I'm drowning in my own tears

[Verso 2]

[Verse 2]

Sin tus labios, estar vivo sabe a nada

Without your lips, being alive tastes like nothing

Y mis lágrimas se sienten más saladas

And my tears feel even saltier

Te confieso, todavía no me acostumbro

I confess I still haven't gotten used to it

Y te busco por la calle moribundo

And I look for you in the street, dying

[Pre-Coro]

[Pre-Chorus]

Cómo llegué hasta aquí, te tuve y te perdí

How did I end up here, I had you and I lost you

Por no aprender a valorarte

For never learning to value you

Muy grande me creí y por dejarte ir

I thought I was too great, and for letting you go

La soledad es mi acompañante

Loneliness is my companion

[Coro]

[Chorus]

Pobre de mí, pasar la vida sin ti

Poor me, spending life without you

Soportar mis días viéndote con otro

Enduring my days watching you with someone else

Pobre de mí si tú no vuelves aquí

Poor me if you don't come back here

Desde mi alma yo te estoy gritando

From my soul I'm crying out to you

Pobre de mí, pasar la vida sin ti

Poor me, spending life without you

Me estoy ahogando con mi propio llanto

I'm drowning in my own tears

🌍 Culture & Context

Context

Released on July 24, 2026, 'Pobre de Mí' is a bachata by Mickey Then from Musa Chapter 2 (Young Abuelo Music Group). The song is written by Alfredo Matheus, Lesly Lora Dice, Ronald 'Dae' López and Yonathan Then.

Meaning

The song is a confession of regret. The narrator searched for this woman everywhere, then ignored her when she was right in front of him, too proud to give her the place she deserved. Alone now, he watches her with someone else, calls out from his soul and drowns in his own tears. 'Pobre de mí' is not a complaint against her: he is judging himself, for never learning to value her.

Artist

Mickey Then (born Yonathan Then on July 25, 1990, in New York City) is a Dominican-American bachata singer, songwriter, and producer. A former member of the group 24 Horas, he is also a prolific songwriter for major artists like Prince Royce, Don Omar, and CNCO, and has earned multiple BMI Awards.
