‘Coleccionando Heridas’ (Collecting Wounds) is one of the most emotionally charged tracks from la ‘Bichota’s’ Tropicoqueta album, and it’s a collaboration with the legendary Mexican singer-songwriter Marco Antonio Solís.

The song is a heartfelt ballad about the emotional exhaustion of loving in a world where genuine connection feels rare. Karol G and Solís trade verses that question whether love has “stayed behind in other times,” while reflecting on the pain of repeatedly being hurt and having to pretend to be fine.

The metaphor of “collecting wounds” becomes the thread that ties the song together — representing the scars left by past relationships that never quite heal.

Musically, it blends Karol G’s contemporary Latin-pop sensibility with Solís’s classic romantic style, creating a nostalgic yet fresh sound. The track isn’t just about heartbreak; it’s also about resilience.It’s about holding onto the belief that real love can still exist, even if disappointment keeps knocking at the door.

It stands out on Tropicoqueta because it bridges generations and genres. Pairing Karol’s modern storytelling with Solís’s timeless romanticism, making it a powerful meeting of Latin music icons.

‘Coleccionando Heridas’ English Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Could it be that love’s not for me?
That I wasn’t born for this, that I don’t know how to ask for it
Why do I always get the opposite?
I’m always the one keeping myself company
Could it be that to be happy you have to be like the rest?
And I have to pretend I can live with this
It’s become normal to collect wounds

[Chorus]

Ah, could it be that love stayed back in other times?
That’s what the experts say
Nobody wants these days, mmm, mmm
To live as if they had no feelings


I don’t have that talent
I still feel
[Post-Chorus]

But I want to believe that it’s still possible to love
And if not, I’ll keep on collecting wounds

[Verse 2]

Loneliness has become my friend, one day I told her about you
I told her that hating you isn’t something I can do
And even though I didn’t want to, I let you go
They say time heals everything, but a lot of time has passed
And this suffering doesn’t go away, I stayed living with it
I don’t know when daylight will come, at night it never stops raining
Dear God, I want to ask You where thoughts get turned off
He says, “Eh!”

[Chorus]

Could it be that love stayed behind in other times?
That’s what the experts say
Nobody wants these days, mmm, mmm
To live as if they had no feelings
I don’t have that talent
I still feel

[Post-Chorus]

But I want to believe that it’s still possible to love
And if not, I’ll keep on collecting wounds
