Quintanilla in 1999. Their music encompasses the styles of cumbia (hence their name), Hip-Hop and RnB. They produce songs in both Spanish and English. The band's producers from the beginning have been A.B. Quintanilla III and Cruz Martínez. A.B. Quintanilla is also known as the brother of the late "Queen of Tejano Music", Selena.

Though the group has gone through a revolving door of members in recent years amid controversy and finger-pointing, and the Kumbia Kings of today are vastly different than what originated in Corpus Christi, Texas over 10 years ago but A.B. and Cruz were always the soul of the group.

Unfortunately, A.B. Quintanilla, Irvin "PeeWee" Salinas, as well as Selena's widower Chris Pérez, also decided to leave the group due to "internal dissention" in 2006. Cruz Martínez kept Los Kumbia Kings but changed the name to Los Super Reyes for legal issues. In October 2009, A.B. Quintanilla and Cruz Martínez have solved their differences, and announced that the Kumbia Kings will reunite for a series of concerts lasting from late 2009 through early 2010.

Ella sabe envenenarme en la piel ella lo sabe
Ella sabe que por ella es que yo vivo perdido
Ella puede cotrolarme y no logro desatarme
Ella sabe

Ella sabe envenenarme en la piel ella lo sabe
Ella puede controlarme y no logro desatarme ella
Sabe que es tan fuerte este hechizo ella lo sabe

Ella me hizo prisionero soy su esclavo aunque no quiero, ¡no

Ella está tan dentro de mi ella es
Ratal, está, hay está tan dentro de mi

Ella sabe que sin ella solo voy sin rumbo fijo
Ella sabe que por ella esque yo vivo perdido ella
No sabe de olvido soy su juego indefinido ella no
Permite uidas si te atrapa no hay salida, ¡no

Ella está tan dentro de mi ella es fatal
Está, hay está tan dentro de mi

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Kumbia Kings's song "Ella Sabe" are about a woman who has a powerful hold on the singer. The first verse talks about how she knows how to poison him with her touch, and that she knows he is lost without her. The second verse expands on this theme, with the singer admitting that she has control over him and he can't break free from her spell. He is a prisoner to her love, and though he doesn't want to be, he can't resist her. The last verse brings it all together, with the singer acknowledging that she is always on his mind and he can't live without her. She is his everything, and he is willing to be her slave just to be close to her.

Overall, the song is about the power of love and how it can make us do things we never thought possible. The woman in the song has a magnetic pull on the singer that he simply can't resist. He knows that she has a hold over him, but he is powerless to do anything about it.
