Ya comí los chocolates
Y rompí todas las fotos
Ya boté las flores que me enviaste
Pero no, no me someto a tus dulces hechiceras

Ya no me'atrevo meterme contigo

Ya no me'atrevo, ya no me atrevo más
Ya no me'atrevo meterme contigo
Ya no me'atrevo, ya no me atrevo más

Ya tengo pareja
Una mujer que me quiere,
Yo soy un hombre casado
que respetas el matrimonio
Pero nunca olvidaré
Nuestras travesuras
Tu encanto y tu dulzura
Pero lo que paso paso,
las cosas ha cambiado

Ya no me'atrevo meterme contigo jamás
Ya no me'atrevo meterme contigo jamás
Ya no me'atrevo meterme contigo jamás
Ya no me'atrevo meterme contigo jamás

Contigo jamás

Contigo jamás
Contigo jamás

Overall Meaning

The song "Contigo Jamas" by Ocote Soul Sounds revolves around a man who is trying to move on from a past relationship. The first verse describes how he has cut all ties with his former partner - he has read her messages and emails, devoured the chocolates she sent, destroyed all their photos together, and even thrown away the flowers she gave him. Despite all of this, he asserts that he refuses to be swayed by her charms again.

In the second verse, the man reveals that he is now in a committed relationship with someone else who loves him. He acknowledges that he is married and that he respects the sanctity of marriage. However, he confesses that he will always remember the good times he had with his previous partner, and he acknowledges her allure and charm. Nevertheless, he has moved on and reiterates that he will never again fall under her spell.

The chorus reaffirms the man's decision to never again get involved with his past love. He no longer dares to mess around with her, and he will not let himself be lured back. The song is an ode to moving on, to letting go of the past, and to setting boundaries.
