Caliente
• NATALIA OREIRO Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Yo se quemarme en el fuego
Yo se reír del dolor
Yo se brindar por un sueño
Hasta que despierte el sol
Pero cuando suenan
El repique y el bongo
No me importa nada
Si la fiesta comenzó

Porque este ritmo ya esta
Caliente para bailar

Caliente y un poco mas
La gente quiero escuchar
Todos a bailar
Soy dueña de mi destino
Mis reglas y mi verdad
No hay piedras en el camino
Que me hagan volver atrás

Pero cuando llaman
El repique y el bongo
Se me enciende el alma
Y la fiesta comenzó
Porque este ritmo ya esta
Caliente caliente caliente
Todos a bailar
Que sera, que sera lo que yo siento
Que me empieza a recorrer

Que sera, que sera lo que yo siento
Algo me quema la piel

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of NATALIA OREIRO's song CALIENTE talk about the power of music and how it can ignite a fire within oneself. The first stanza talks about the singer's ability to embrace pain and turn it into something beautiful. She knows how to put herself on the line for her dreams until the sun rises. However, when she hears the sound of the bells and bongos, nothing else matters. She is consumed by the rhythm, and the party has begun. The chorus emphasizes the beat of the music and how it makes people dance. The second verse talks about the singer's independence and how she is in control of her life. She makes her own rules and follows her truth. No obstacle can stop her from moving forward. Once again, the bells and bongos come into play, and the singer's soul is set on fire. The chorus repeats, and there is a bridge where the singer questions the feelings that are starting to run through her body. Something is igniting her skin, but she does not question it. Instead, she keeps dancing and enjoying the moment.
