The song "Mil Horas" by Sonora Dinamita is about a man who waits for his lover in the rain for two hours, feeling like a dog waiting for its owner. When she finally arrives, she tells him she no longer loves him. The lyrics also touch on the themes of war, loneliness, and feeling lost. The man continues to wait for his lover, even though she has become a star and denies knowing him. The song is a classic example of Latin American cumbia music, with its upbeat rhythm and catchy chorus.

The other night I waited for you in the rain for two hours

A thousand hours, like a dog

And when you arrived, you looked at me and said

"Crazy, you're wet, I don't want you anymore"

Verse 1

It's cold, I'm far from home

I've been sitting on this rock for a long time

I wonder what wars are for

I have a hole in my pants

You're so cold, like the snow around me

You're so white, I don't know what to do anymore

Chorus 2

The other night I waited for you in the rain for two hours

A thousand hours, like a dog

And when you arrived, you looked at me and said

"Crazy, you're wet, I don't want you anymore"

Jah, jah, jah

And I'll keep waiting for you with Sonora Dinamita

The other night I waited for you in the rain for two hours

A thousand hours, like a dog

And when you arrived, you looked at me and said

"Crazy, you're wet, I don't want you anymore"

Verse 2

In the circus, you're already a star

A red star that imagines everything

If they ask you, you didn't know me, no, no

If I have a cut in my pants

You're so cold, like the snow around me

You're so white, I don't know what to do anymore

Chorus 4

The other night I waited for you in the rain for two hours

A thousand hours, like a dog

And when you arrived, you looked at me and said

"Crazy, you're wet, I don't want you anymore"

Jah, jah, jah
