BOKeTE (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Verse 1]
In this verse, the singer reflects on a bittersweet moment at 6 p.m. by the river, recalling the emotional highs and lows of the relationship. He compares his changing feelings to the unpredictability of a park, symbolizing how his emotions shift. Even though it’s always summer in Puerto Rico, he feels cold because of the sadness he feels when he listens to songs that remind him of the past. He’s thinking about the person, but he warns them not to get hopeful because he’s decided not to reach out. Despite this, there’s a part of him that wishes the other person suffers for letting go of him, though he’s uncertain if that will be the case.

[Chorus]
The singer expresses his exhaustion with competing for someone’s attention and affection. He acknowledges the person’s beauty but calls them out for being dishonest. He encourages them to continue on their path, but he hints that when reality hits, no one will be there to support them. The singer believes that in the future, the person will regret letting go of the real love they had with him, a love that was genuine and irreplaceable.

[Verse 2]
This verse delves deeper into the emotional fallout from the relationship. The singer metaphorically refers to the person as a “hole,” meaning they’ve left a void in his life, making them elusive and hard to grasp. He decides this is the last time he’ll express his feelings in a poem, signaling his closure. He recalls the intense moments they shared, including passionate encounters, and the plans they never got to fulfill, like traveling to specific places. The invitations and opportunities have expired, and now he’s left with only the memories of a love that didn’t reach its full potential. The singer reflects on whether life itself deceived them, but now, after the goodbye, he’s learning to live as he did before meeting the person. He tests his strength by revisiting old photos and trying to move on, finding solace in the passing of time. Despite fearing the loss, he realizes he’s still alive and moving forward.

[Bridge]
In the bridge, the singer expresses gratitude for life, acknowledging that being alive is what truly matters. He mentions falling in love many times before, with this person being just another chapter. His tone is matter-of-fact, emphasizing that moving on is a part of life. He’s ready to forget and move forward, trusting that if love comes again in the future, it will happen naturally. While he admits he likes the feeling of being in love, he’s accepting of the fact that it’s time to let go and live on.

[Chorus]
The chorus repeats, reinforcing the singer’s decision to stop competing for someone’s affection. He recognizes the person’s beauty but criticizes their tendency to lie. He warns them to keep living their life, but assures them that once the fantasy ends, no one will be there to applaud their choices. He reflects on the eventual regret they will feel for letting go of the most genuine love they ever had, reinforcing the idea that they may regret losing him in the long run.
