Raptado
Camila Moreno Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
En el jardín dijo "¿Quieres bailar conmigo?"
Se me lleno el cuerpo, si, si, si
No me tomes mal, estoy rota
Raptado, mi corazón
Desenvolvió
Te dije que en mi solo hay
No me tomes mal, estoy rota
Si me fui primero fue porque no podía verte partir
El viento está persiguiendo la opacidad
Raptado, mi corazón
Desenvolvió
Te dije que en mi solo hay
Ruidos de insectos salvajes
Ruidos de insectos salvajes
Raptado, mi corazón
Desenvolvió
Te dije que en mi solo hay
Ruidos de insectos salvajes
Ruidos de insectos salvajes
In Camila Moreno's song "Raptado," the singer is expressing their brokenness to someone they care about. The singer invites this person to dance with them in the garden, and the interaction causes the singer's body to fill with sensations. However, the singer wants to make it clear that they are not feeling their best. The lines "No me tomes mal, estoy rota" (Don't take it wrong, I'm broken) are repeated throughout the song as if to validate their own feelings.
The chorus states "Raptado, mi corazón Desenvolvió Te dije que en mi solo hay Ruidos de insectos salvajes," which can be translated to, "Kidnapped, my heart unwrapped I told you that in me there are only wild insect noises." The singer is confessing that their heart has been taken or "kidnapped" and that they are struggling to contain the chaotic feelings inside them. The mention of "wild insect noises" could refer to the confusion and turmoil inside the singer, as well as the sounds of nature that surround them.
In the second verse, the singer says that they left first because they couldn't bear to see the person they care about leave. However, now they feel as though the wind is following them and that they are lost in confusion or opacity.
Overall, "Raptado" seems to be a song about the difficulties of vulnerability and expressing oneself when going through difficult emotions. It touches on feelings of brokenness, heartbreak, and confusion in a poetic and sensual way.

Esta canción es hermosa. El video le pone otra dimensión más a su belleza y la hace inolvidable....pero créanme, eso no es nada comparado con ver a Camila Moreno en vivo. Hay que hacerse el favor de ir a verla y escucharla cantar.
