The legendary Mexican group Los Ángeles Azules return with another cross-border collaboration, this time joining forces with Argentina’s Yami Safdie and Luck Ra. After scoring hits alongside Argentine powerhouses like Nicki Nicole, María Becerra, and Emilia, the band now presents ‘Si Sabes Contar’—a cumbia-driven track that’s both heartfelt and cathartic, perfect for belting out when you’re going through tough times.
‘Si Sabes Contar’ is a song about a breakup where Safdie and Luck Ra takes back control after being hurt. Instead of begging or holding on, they make it very clear that the relationship is over for good. The lyrics repeat the idea that the other person will regret losing them because they were the one who truly loved them.
The hook “Si sabes contar, no cuentes conmigo” (“If you know how to count, don’t count on me”) is a clever way of saying don’t rely on me anymore — not for love, not for kisses, not even for touch. It’s both a warning and a closure.
The song mixes heartbreak with empowerment. It acknowledges the pain of ending a deep love, but it also flips the perspective: the one left behind is actually the one who lost the most, because they have already moved on.
I know it’s going to hurt you
Why would I tell you otherwise, my love?
Of course it’s going to hurt
Because the one who loved you most in life, you’ve just lost
They say someone better always comes along
But in this case, there’s an exception
Because your ex is me
If you know how to count, don’t count on me anymore
You’ll never be able to forget me, I’m telling you right now
If you know how to count, don’t count on my kisses
If you know how to count, don’t count on my hands
They won’t touch you again because I don’t love you anymore
I know it’s going to hurt you
Why would I tell you otherwise, my love?
Of course it’s going to hurt
Because the one who loved you most in life, you’ve just lost
They say someone better always comes along
But in this case, there’s an exception
Because your ex is me
If you know how to count, don’t count on me anymore
You’ll never be able to forget me, I’m telling you right now
If you know how to count, don’t count on my kisses
This love for you is over, don’t talk to me about coming back
If you know how to count, don’t count on my hands
They won’t touch you again because I don’t love you anymore.
