Possibly the funniest breakup song ever written, this is sung by a man who's leaving his wife. In typical bachata style, it's incredibly over-the-top - he says he's selling the wedding ring, and that death would be a relief, but that he'll be careful not to sin, for fear he'll meet her in Hell.
The best part of all this is that, being a bachata, it's meant to be danced pegao - with couples literally "glued" together on the dancefloor ("pegado", meaning "glued" or "stuck" is pronouced pegao in some parts of Central America). I think this little reggaeton ditty illustrates the meaning of pegao pretty graphically. So you have couples cozying up on the dancefloor to the strains of a singer explaining why all relationships are doomed. Oh yes.
