‘La Del Proceso’ by Grupo Frontera and Manuel Turizo: Meaning and English Lyrics

Share:

‘La Del Proceso’ by Grupo Frontera and Manuel Turizo is about someone realizing they made a big mistake in love. He left a woman who truly loved and supported him — “la del proceso,” meaning the one who was there through everything — for someone more flashy and materialistic. At the time, he thought he was upgrading, but it turns out the new relationship was all about money and appearances.

As time passes, he regrets his decision. He compares it to trading gold for silver — giving up something truly valuable for something that just seemed attractive. The song reflects on that painful realization, how he let go of someone genuine for someone who didn’t care about him, only about his status. It’s a heartfelt message about recognizing real love too late.

‘La Del Proceso’ English Lyrics

Because of a gold-digger, I left someone truly interesting
Oh, how wrong I was, I sinned out of ignorance,
I traded someone real for a mannequin.

I got carried away by her shine,
I thought she was a diamond—but nah,
she turned out to be a fake,
and it wasn’t just time I invested in her.

Because there are loves that kill
with nothing but kisses,
and loves that deceive for just a few bucks.
I realized it too late, and I regretted it.

I traded gold for silver.
You were my universe, and she was just a star—
and I crashed because of it.
How foolish I was… look what I lost.

I swapped someone truly interesting
for someone only interested in what I had.
And that’s why you never leave the one who was with you through it all.

(And this is Grupo Frontera and Manuel Turizo)

For just another one in the crowd,
I gave up the love of my life.
One asked for Louis Vuitton,
the other loved me with nothing at all.

That’s life—I left the woman who was right for me
for one who only cared about how much I had in the bank.
Bad decision—she was only in love with my status.
My mom always warned me about her bad intentions.
Now the real one has erased me from her heart.

Because there are loves that kill
with nothing but kisses,
and loves that deceive for just a few bucks.
I realized it too late, and I regretted it.

I traded gold for silver.
You were my universe, and she was just a star—
and I crashed because of it.
How foolish I was… look what I lost.

I swapped someone truly interesting
for someone only interested in what I had.
And that’s why you never leave the one who was with you through it all.
