Argentina and Colombia unite in ‘Amor Prestado,’ a track about forbidden love and the bittersweet reality of sharing someone who isn’t fully yours. For this collaboration, Yami Safdie and Manuel Turizo blend bachata with urban rhythms to deliver a story that feels both intimate and universal.

The song follows a relationship between two people who genuinely love each other but can’t be together completely because one of them already has a partner. Their connection is intense, passionate, and real — yet temporary and secret. The repeated line “tu amor es prestado” (“your love is borrowed”) underlines the painful truth: this love isn’t theirs to keep.

They live off stolen moments — kisses, nights that feel like seconds — only to let go when morning arrives or when reality calls one of them back home. It’s bittersweet intimacy, fueled by desire and haunted by bad timing. Lines like “Why didn’t I meet you before?” capture that ache: if they had crossed paths earlier, maybe this love wouldn’t belong to two people.

Both characters recognize the guilt of falling for someone who belongs to someone else. But the song goes deeper than the idea of an affair — it’s about the emotional cost: craving someone who can’t stay, loving in borrowed time, and knowing the ending is written before it even begins.

‘Amor Prestado’ is a song about stolen love — fleeting, passionate, and unforgettable. A connection so strong it feels eternal, even if it only exists in borrowed space.

‘Amor Prestado’ English Lyrics

[Verse 1: Yami Safdie]

How come you have to leave so soon?
Weren’t we made for each other?
If it’s cold outside,
Why don’t you stay here with me?

[Verse 2: Manuel Turizo]

Ay, how do I hold back this urge to see you?
You and I, two who stay loyal to loving each other.
And even though you’re not mine,
That heart still belongs to me.

[Pre-Chorus: Manuel Turizo]

Why is life like this?
And why didn’t I meet you before?
Then this love wouldn’t have two owners—
The one who dreams of you, and me, the one who keeps you up at night.

[Chorus: Yami Safdie]

But your love is borrowed,
And I have to give you back.
Tomorrow you’ll go back to your owner,
And I don’t know if I’ll see you again.
Because your love is borrowed,
And the blame is only mine.
I know you belong to someone else, but you’re mine.

[Verse 3: Yami Safdie]

All of this is borrowed—
Your kisses, your laugh, your body, your hands when you touch me.

Sometimes it feels like you belong to me,
But then the day comes and you disappear.
You have someone waiting for you at home,
I only have you for a while and it’s not enough.
I want to be the one who holds you.

[Verse 4: Both]

You have one love that hurts you,
And another that won’t let you sleep, that makes you smile.
But tell me, why do you have to leave?
If it’s barely six o’clock.
The sun’s already up but to me you just got here a second ago.
Nights fly by when we’re together.
It happens that you came to shake up my world.
It happens that you kiss me and I crumble.

[Pre-Chorus: Both]

With you one night feels like a second.
They fly by when we’re together.
I love it when you arrive, but you leave and I’m always left wondering…

[Chorus: Both]

Why is your love borrowed?
And why do I have to give you back?
And even though you go back to your owner,
I know I’ll see you again.
Because your love is borrowed,
And the blame is only mine—
For letting myself be won over by that mouth of yours.

[Outro: Both]

Ay, love… ay, love…
Manuel Turizo.
Yami.
And I don’t know if I’ll see you again.
Borrowed love,
A complicated love.
Because you’re with him,
But I am yours.
