After participating in some teen programs as a singer/actor, he got the main role in the telenovela (soap opera) "Gallito Ramírez," which made him a famous actor. Later, another telenovela, "Escalona" made him return to his "costeño" roots (he was born in Santa Marta, the same town of the famous soccer player "El Pibe" Valderrama, located in the north coast of Colombia) and mainly to sing classic vallenato songs of one of the most prestigious vallenato composers, Rafael Escalona. The soundtrack of "Escalona" quickly became a major hit in radio and CD sales and allowed vallenato to conquest other colombian cities outside the "costa" (north coast) that hadn´t previously accepted it.
After forming a band called La Provincia, the singer and guitarist began performing a local style known as Vallenato, successfully touring his native country, Colombia, and South America. In 1994, Carlos Vives' "La Gota Fria," became his first smash, climbing on the most important music charts around Latin America. In 1996, under the slogan of Unete A Los Locales (Join the Local Ones), the talented musician created his own label, called Gaira, to promote and give an incentive to local artists like "Bloque de Búsqueda" and "Distrito".
Carlos Vives also hosted an important show of the Colombian TV, "La Tele". With irreverent and sometimes escatologic humour this program promoted the figures of Martin De Francisco and Germán Moure, in a country where criticism has always been divorced of popular jokes. This program was then reborn as an animated version which turned to be the first weekly 25 minute animated series of Colombia and Latinamerica, called "El Siguiente Programa" ("The Next Show")
His style, which mixes vallenato, rock and champeta (an African-influenced music) was then used by several Colombian artists, giving birth to the "Tropipop" movement.
Robarte Un Beso
Carlos Vives Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Son muchos años que pasaron sin decir te quiero
Y en verdad te quiero
Pero encuentro formas de engañar mi corazón
Son muchos años que pasaron sin robarte un beso
Solo quiero un beso
No puede ser que no he encontrado todavía las palabras
Y en esa noche no dije nada
No puede ser que en un segundo me perdí en tu mirada
Cuando por dentro yo te gritaba
Déjame robarte un beso que me llegue hasta el alma
Como un vallenato de esos viejos que nos gustaban
Sé que sientes mariposas, yo también sentí sus alas
Déjame robarte un beso que te enamore y tú no te vayas
Déjame robarte un beso que me llegue hasta el alma
Como un vallenato de esos viejos que nos gustaban
Sé que sientes mariposas, yo también sentí sus alas
Déjame robarte un beso que te enamore y tú no te vayas
Déjame robarte el corazón
Déjame escribirte una canción
Déjame que con un beso nos perdamos los dos
Déjame robarte el corazón
Déjame subirle a esta canción
Para que bailemos juntos como nadie bailó
Déjame robarte un beso que me llegue hasta el alma
Como un vallenato de esos viejos que nos gustaban
Se que sientes mariposas, yo también sentí sus alas
Déjame robarte un beso que te enamore y tú no te vayas
Yo sé que a ti te gusta que yo te cante así
Que tú te pones seria pero te hago reír
Que sé que tú me quieres.. Por qué tú eres así
Y cuando estamos juntos ya no se que decir
Yo sé que a ti te gusta yo te cante así
Que tú te pones seria pero te hago reír
Que sé que tú me quieres.. Porque tú eres así
Y cuando estamos juntos ya no sé que decir
Déjame robarte un beso que me llegue hasta el alma
Como un vallenato de esos viejos que nos gustaban
Sé que sientes mariposas (sé que sientes mariposas)
Yo también sentí sus alas (yo también sentí sus alas)
Déjame robarte un beso que te enamore y tú no te vayas
Déjame robarte un beso que me llegue hasta el alma
Como un vallenato de esos viejos que nos gustaban
Sé que sientes mariposas, yo también sentí sus alas
Déjame robarte un beso que te enamore
Y tú no te vayas
The song "Robarte un Beso" by Carlos Vives featuring Sebastián Yatra is about the desire to steal a kiss from someone who the singer has not had the courage to express their love for. The lyrics describe how much time has passed since the singer has had the chance to say "I love you" or "steal a kiss" from the subject of their affection. The singer desires to find the courage to express their love and overcome their fear by taking a hold of the opportunity to steal a kiss. The desire to steal a kiss is so strong that they do not mind being called a thief in the process.
The chorus of the song repeats the request to steal a kiss that will reach the soul of the person they love like an old vallenato, a traditional Colombian folk music genre that is often associated with love songs. The songwriters use figurative language to describe the experience of love, comparing it to the feeling of a butterfly's wings or a vallenato melody. The singer also makes a request to steal the person's heart and write a song about their love, expressing their deep desire to connect with the person they love in every way possible.
Overall, "Robarte un Beso" is an emotional song that speaks to the common experience of being afraid to express one's love for another. The songwriters use vivid language and a catchy melody to convey the passion and longing that comes with the desire to steal a kiss and express one's love.

It's been many years without saying I love you
And I really love you
But I find ways to deceive my heart.
It's been many years since I stole a kiss from you.
I just want a kiss,
And for that mouth I do not mind being a thief
It can not be that I have not yet found the words
And in that night I did not say anything
It can't be that in a second I lost myself in your look
When inside I was yelling at you
Let me steal you a kiss from you that reaches my soul
Like an old vallenato of those that we used to like
I know you feel butterflies, I also felt their wings
Let me steal you a kiss from you that will make you fall in love and you will not go ...
Let me steal your heart
Let me write you a song
Let me that with one kiss we both get lost
Let me steal your heart
Let me raise this song
So we dance together like no one else danced
Let me steal you a kiss from you that reaches my soul
Like an old vallenato of those that we used to like
I know you feel butterflies, I also felt their wings
Let me steal you a kiss from you that will make you fall in love and you will not go ...
