2005's "Los Kumbia Kings" are vastly different then the group that originated in Corpus Christi 8 years ago.The groups two founding members remain(A.B. Quintanilla and Cruz Martinez) but the group has gone through a revolving door of members in recent years, amid controversy and finger-pointing.
Gone are original members Frankie J. and DJ-Kane.Both who have gone on to success as solo artists and Kingz1, a collaboration of former Kumbia Kings members, who defected from the group among internal dissention, released "Amor,Familia,Respect" in 2004.
In October 2004, Los Kumbia Kings released their 8th studio album titled "Fuego".The CD went on went to sell well over 500,000 copies. The "Gold-Standard" in the Latin music Industry.
The Current Los Kumbia Kings roster includes former "Menudo" member Abel Talamantez, as well as a 14 year old Irvin "Pee-Wee" Gonzalez. Gonzalez was born in Washington state, but moved to Texas at an early age. He was plucked from a talent search to head Los Kumbia Kings into the next generation.
In early 2006, Los Kumbia Kings will return to the studio to begin work on their next album, and the final one as members for A.B. Quintanilla and Cruz Martinez.The group's original members will no longer record and tour with musical sensation they built following this year.Quintanilla has stated his desire to expand the musical empire he has created.His "King Of Bling" production company recently signed a multi-million deal with EMI Latin.He also plans on taking "Los Kumbia Kings" to the American pop-markets.A move he had been reluctant to do until the recent success of "Reggaeton" in the international music market.
Martinez, who is wed to Mexican singing sensation Alicia Villareal, will work along-side Quintanilla developoing "King of Bling" artists'.He also is producing albums for latin super-stars Joan Sebastian, and Pablo Montenero.
There has also been varied speculation of a possible "Los Kumbia Kings" reunion in recent months.Recent media reports have Quintanilla reuniting many former Kumbia King members, including Frankie "J" Baustista, Jason "DJ-Kane" Cano, Alex and Roy Ramirez,in the studio as a farewell tribute to their fans.
Although, this group has gained much success since its founding co-founder A.B. Quintanilla III took off from the group. On August 03, 2006 Pee Wee has come out saying he will not be coming back to Los Kumbia Kings due to a conflict. Pee Wee was sick for a performance and was replaced, Pee Wee seeing this as an insult decided to leave the group for good joining up with former co-founder A.B. Quintanilla III to do form another group.
I Could Fall In Love
A.B. Quintanilla III Y Los Kumbia Kings Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you don't turn and walk away
'Cause the way I feel I might
Lose control and let you stay
'Cause I could take in my arms
And never let go
I could fall in love with you
I can only wonder how
Touching you would make me feel
But if I take that chance right now
Tomorrow will you want me still
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
And I know it's not right
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
Siempre estoy sonando en ti
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Abrazandome con ansias locas
Imaginando que me amas
Como yo podia amar a ti
So I should keep this to myself
And never let you know
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall in love, I could fall in love, with you
In "I Could Fall in Love," A.B. Quintanilla III and Kumbia Kings are singing about their attraction to someone they know they shouldn't fall in love with. The singer is conflicted because they know that they could lose control and let this person stay. They also wonder how it would feel if they were touched by them, but they're not sure if this person will want them tomorrow if they take that chance now, so perhaps it's best to keep their feelings to themselves.
The singer is stuck in a difficult situation because they know that having feelings for this person is not right, and they should try to do the right thing. However, they can't help the fact that they're falling in love with this person, and they're afraid to confess their feelings. The Spanish lyrics in the middle of the song add another layer of urgency to the singer's emotions as they describe the vivid fantasies they have of being loved by this person.
Overall, "I Could Fall in Love" is a beautifully sung, heart-wrenching ballad about falling for someone even when it's not the right time or place.
Line by Line Meaning
I could lose my heart tonight
I'm so drawn to you that I might give away my heart if you don't leave me alone
If you don't turn and walk away
If you don't leave me alone and give me space, I might fall deeper for you
'Cause the way I feel I might
I can't control my feelings for you and I might do something impulsive
Lose control and let you stay
I might give in to my desire and let you stick around
'Cause I could take in my arms
I want to hold you so tightly and never let go
And never let go
I want to feel your warmth forever and never have to say goodbye
I could fall in love with you
I could easily develop romantic feelings for you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall completely head over heels for you
I can only wonder how
I'm curious about how it would feel to touch you
Touching you would make me feel
Being close to you would fill me with so much emotion
But if I take that chance right now
If I acted on my instincts right now
Tomorrow will you want me still
Would you still feel the same tomorrow or would you regret it?
So I should keep this to myself
I should suppress these feelings and not let you know
And never let you know
I have to keep this hidden and not show you how I feel
And I know it's not right
I'm aware that this isn't the best idea
And I guess I should try to do what I should do
I know I should do what's sensible and not let my emotions get the best of me
But I could fall in love, fall in love with you
Despite all the reasons not to, I could still fall in love with you
Siempre estoy sonando en ti
I always dream about you
Besando mis labios, acariciando mi piel
Kissing my lips, caressing my skin
Abrazandome con ansias locas
Holding me with a crazy urge
Imaginando que me amas
Imagining that you love me
Como yo podia amar a ti
Like I could love you
I could fall in love with you
I could easily develop romantic feelings for you
I could fall in love with you
I could fall completely head over heels for you
I could fall in love, I could fall in love, with you
I could fall deeply in love with you
