‘A Dos De Borrarte’ by Ángela Aguilar: Meaning and English Lyrics

She’s drawing a line: the person who once meant everything to her is about to mean nothing

Archivado en: Ángela Aguilar  •  

The phrase ‘A Dos De Borrarte’ is a colloquial expression in Spanish that roughly translates to “This close to erasing you” or“One step away from deleting you”. The song is about a woman who’s been deeply hurt and is now in the process of letting go and moving on. She’s not coming from a place of weakness—she’s reclaiming her strength.

At the beginning, she warns not to underestimate a woman who’s been wounded. She’s picking herself up after a fall and is just about ready to erase the person who hurt her from her life. The pre-chorus makes it very clear: she wants this person to forget everything about her—who she is, where she lives—because he’s no longer welcome in her life. While she once loved him deeply and even prayed for him, now she curses him.

In the chorus, she makes a powerful promise: she’ll learn to hate him with her whole soul, as a way to honor the pain he caused her. Someone who once meant everything to her will soon mean nothing at all.

In short, it’s a song about heartbreak turning into empowerment. It’s not about revenge—it’s about healing by cutting emotional ties and regaining control.

‘A Dos De Borrarte’ English Lyrics

[Verse]

Be careful—never underestimate a wounded woman
I’m brushing off the dust from the fall
I’m this close to erasing you

[Pre-Chorus]

Forget who I am, my name, and where I live
You’ll never be welcome here again
Just like I once prayed for you, now I curse you

[Chorus]

I swear, I’ll learn to hate you with all my soul
In the name of the pain that now stands behind me
Just like you were everything yesterday
Tomorrow you’ll be nothing

[Pre-Chorus]

Forget who I am, my name, and where I live
You’ll never be welcome here again
Just like I once prayed for you, now I curse you

[Chorus]

I swear, I’ll learn to hate you with all my soul
In the name of the pain that now stands behind me
Just like you were everything yesterday
Tomorrow you’ll be nothing
Just like you were everything yesterday
Tomorrow you’ll be nothing
