Benny Ibarra Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
la cama no ah dejado de temblar
y kieres mi curiosidad
y kieres kieres kieres solo una noche mas
kiereme, prendeme incendiame
ven y abraza mi soledad
liberame esta noche descubrimos el fuego
jure q iba a abrir mi corazon
jure q nada me iba a pararme ya
ykieres mi debilidad
y kieres kieres kieres
solo una noche mas
kiereme,prendeme incendiame
ven y abraza mi soledad
liberame esta noche descubrimos el fuego
y el fuego nos haga olvidar
puede encerder la fraga en mi
me esta dejando frio tu calor
y kieres mi necesidad
y kieres kieres kieres solo una noche mas
kiereme, prendeme incendiame
ven y abraza mi soledad
liberame esta noche descubrimos el fuego
y el cuerpo nos haga olvidar
prendeme incendiame
ven y abraza mi soledad
liberame esta noche descubrimos el fuego
y el cuerpo nos haga olvidar(x3)
Benny Ibarra's "Fuego" is a song about a passionate encounter with a lover. The lyrics speak of the physical attraction between two people who barely know each other but are drawn by the irresistible desire to experience the fire of their mutual passion. The song starts with the line "te fuiste casi antes de llegar" which translates to "you left almost before arriving", indicating that the lover is hesitant or uncertain about pursuing the relationship. However, the main character, portrayed by Ibarra, is not deterred and is willing to take the risk: "jure que nada me iba a parar ya" - "I swore that nothing would stop me".
The chorus, which repeats throughout the song, urges the lover to give in to the passion: "kiereme, prendeme, incendiame" - "love me, light me up, burn me". The lyrics are suggestive and visceral, as they describe a physical encounter that is meant to satisfy an immediate need, but at the same time, they express a longing for emotional connection: "ven y abraza mi soledad" - "come and embrace my loneliness". The concept of fire is used as a metaphor for passion - a destructive force that can consume everything in its path, but at the same time, it can be a source of warmth and light.
Overall, "Fuego" is a song about surrendering to desire, embracing the heat of the moment, and forgetting everything else. It depicts a moment of unbridled passion that is both thrilling and dangerous.
