According to the translation on the website, the song is about a tourist who meets the titular Pedro in Santa Fe. He accosts her, promising to be her guide around the city. This is how a romance is born, and Pedro showed her everything but Santa Fe. At the end, she reflects that meeting the guide “spoiled her vacation”, but to this day she can’t stop thinking about him.
