‘Hace Rato’ is a heartfelt song about the slow breakdown of a relationship due to emotional neglect, selfishness, and lack of change. The lyrics reflect the frustration and pain of someone who feels unappreciated, unheard, and emotionally drained by their partner.

The repeated line “Hace rato que no haces algo por mí” (“It’s been a while since you’ve done something for me”) captures the core of the song: a partner who no longer puts in effort or shows care. There’s a strong sense of emotional imbalance—one person gives, the other takes.

Nicki Nicole’s verses add a raw, personal layer, speaking of unresolved conflict, broken promises, and emotional wounds that still linger. She describes the relationship as something that once worked but now just causes pain, with words that hurt like daggers and love that’s slowly dying.

‘Hace Rato’ English Lyrics

[Juliana Gattas]

It’s been a while since you’ve done something for me
And you’re not the same person I met

[Nicki Nicole & Ale Sergi]

I see you’ve done it to me again
But now I’ve got something to stand on
I’ll clear my head just to talk to you
So it’s clear what I’m trying to say
You’re not going to keep feeding me apologies
And I won’t keep playing second place
You want everything, now, right away—and give me almost nothing
You give me nothing (Nothing), nothing (Nothing), nothing at all

[Juliana Gattas & Ale Sergi]

It’s been a while since you’ve done anything for me
Don’t push me aside, don’t leave me hanging
All you ever talk about is yourself
And you’re not the person you were when we met

[Ale Sergi]

It’s been a while, it’s been a while since you—

[Nicki Nicole]

I haven’t seen you around the city in a while
But your ghost still follows me just the same
You left your ego out in the street and in my sheets
We owe each other a talk—nothing more
But if after this you still won’t change
We’ll go back to zero—it worked, but it doesn’t anymore
Hey, you lie like it’s nothing
Then regret it right in my face
What do you think—that it doesn’t hurt me, that it doesn’t cut deep?
You don’t stop to think what tomorrow might bring
With words that feel like blades
Little by little, our love is dying.
