Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No seas bobo
Controlate
Que no la vas a coger
Ella vino contigo
Bueno y que?
Pero ahora se va conmigo en firme
Oyelo bien
Tu no tienes problemas conmigo
Si no te los buscas
Echate pa'lla y deja ese jaleo
Echate pa'lla
The song "Controlate" by Adalberto Alvarez is a salsa-infused track with lyrics that convey messages about relationships, jealousy, and control. The opening lines "Estate quieto, no seas bobo, controlate" (Stay still, don't be foolish, control yourself) are repeated throughout the song, serving as a reminder to the singer's partner to maintain self-control and not start unnecessary drama.
The lyrics also touch on the theme of possessiveness and jealousy. The lines "No me la mires atravesada que no la vas a coger" (Don't look at her with envy, you're not going to get her) suggests that someone is looking at the singer's partner with desiring eyes - potentially out of jealousy or envy. The singer then confidently asserts that the partner is leaving with them, regardless of any prior attachments.
Towards the end of the song, the lyrics shift to a more peaceful and conciliatory tone, urging the partner to calm down and avoid unnecessary problems. "Tu no tienes problemas conmigo si no te los buscas" (You don't have any problems with me, unless you go looking for them) reminds the partner that they can avoid conflict by maintaining self-control and not letting their emotions get the best of them.
Overall, "Controlate" is a lively and upbeat song that explores themes of jealousy, control, and self-discipline within relationships.
