The lyrics of Boricua Boys' "Bailar" depict a party scene where the singer is trying to seduce a woman to dance with him. The song opens with the repeated word "despacio," which means "slowly," but it is used here to encourage the lady to dance. The chorus instructs the woman to move freely like a "descarada," which means wild or unashamed. The lyrics are about letting go of inhibitions and having a good time, with the hero being a bit naughty in trying to get the girl to dance with him.
The second verse features Mr. Worldwide, Pitbull, rapping over a catchy beat. He acknowledges that the woman likes to party and do things that she shouldn't do, but he encourages her anyway. Later, Elvis Crespo, a Puerto Rican Grammy-winning artist, takes over the vocals to further entice the woman to dance.
The lyrics of "Bailar" may be straightforward, but the song is catchy and upbeat, making it a favorite at dance clubs and parties. The lively beat and catchy refrain make it hard for listeners to resist moving to the music. The fusion of English and Spanish in the song reflects the cross-cultural appeal of Latin music, and it has helped the song become an international sensation.
