She got the, mm, brown eyes, caramel thighs
Long hair, no wedding ring, hey

She got the, mm, white dress, but when she's wearin' less
Man, you know that she drives me crazy
The, mm, brown eyes, beautiful smile
You know I love watching you do your thing

I love her hips, curves, lips say the words
"Te amo, mami, ah, te amo, mami"
I kiss her, this love is like a dream

So join me in this bed that I'm in

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Camila Cabello, Cardi B, and Ed Sheeran's "South of the Border" are about a passionate romantic encounter between two people. It begins with the male singer describing a beautiful woman he sees and is instantly attracted to. He admires her brown eyes, caramel thighs, and gorgeous smile. He is also captivated by her hips, curves, and lips. He wants to kiss her and tells her he loves her in Spanish by saying "Te amo, mami."


The female singer then takes over and describes the man she sees as having green eyes and giving her flirtatious looks. She is also attracted to him and asks him to come and dance with her. She tells him she wants to feel his body against hers and admits that she is now glad she came. Like the male singer, she also tells him she loves him in Spanish.


Then, the chorus comes in repeating that they should join each other in bed and indulge in each other's passion, sweat, and love. They won't stop until the angels sing. The second verse is Cardi B's rap part where she talks about her love for material things like diamonds and luxury clothing, but she also has feelings for the person she loves. She mentions her jungle fever attraction to Ed Sheeran and how he fits her type. They both go on to express how they want their partner's kisses and caresses and for the other to never leave them.


Overall, the lyrics of "South of the Border" celebrate pure passion and romance, with both male and female perspectives being shared with Spanish and English language thrown in.
