The lyrics of Don Omar's "Me Arrepiento" are about a man pleading with his partner to forgive him for a mistake he made. He claims that he didn't mean to hurt her and that it wasn't entirely his fault. He begs her to understand that he is human and makes mistakes, and that she shouldn't throw away everything they have just because of a single kiss. He admits that he regrets it and wants to make things right. He assures her that he loves her and that she is the owner of his heart, and he asks her to hear him out and try to understand his point of view.
The song's theme echoes the universal human desire for forgiveness and redemption. The artist uses a mix of passion and vulnerability to connect with his audience, making them feel empathetic and understanding of his situation. The melody of the song is slow and soulful, with a backdrop of gentle guitar strums that perfectly capture the emotional intensity of the lyrics. The chorus repeats the phrase "No entiendes que solo fue un beso" ("Don't you understand that it was just a kiss?"), which adds to the song's poignant tone.
