The song starts with a proud declaration of the country's musical heritage, with the band declaring "Colombia is combat, it's environment, it's sounds and rhythms ready for the people." The song then invites listeners to dance and enjoy the music, with energetic repetitions of "let's dance" (vamo' a bailá) and "let's party" (vamo' a poné' a vacilá).
The song's chorus emphasizes the hot and lively nature of the music, with the word "caliente" repeated multiple times - indicating that this music is not just rhythmic, but full of passion and energy. The song encourages listeners to join in and feel the beat, with the lead singer declaring "I'm going to make you enjoy" (te voy a poner a gozar) and "I'm going to make you dance" (te voy a poné a vacilar).
Overall, "Huepajé" is an enthusiastic celebration of Colombia's vibrant culture and music scene, and an invitation for listeners to join in the revelry and dance along to the beat.
