Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Me inquieta, me incita y hace que sienta cosquillitas,
Ay no, me dice ay no, metiendo me dice no, ay, ay, ay, no
Me llama, me invita a que resbale en su boquita,
Y baila batuka, esa mujer me despeluca,
Ay no, me dice y no, metiendo me dice no, ay, ay, ay, no
Mariposa, por una noche caprichosa ey, ey,
Engreída, poco romántica y creída, ey, ey,
Ventajosa, oportunista y belicosa
Me sube, me baja, esa mujer me desencaja,
Me aprieta, me jala, el corazón ella me embala,
Ay no, me dice y no, metiendo me dice no, ay, ay, ay, no
Me prende, me apaga, me trae loquito de ganas,
Me atrae, me atrapa, me descarrila y me destapa,
Ay no, me dice y no, metiendo me dice no, ay, ay, ay, no
Mariposa, por una noche caprichosa ey, ey,
Pertrechera, aprovechada y bandolera, ey, ey,
Engreída, poco romántica y creída, ey, ey,
Ventajosa, oportunista y belicosa
Engreída, poco romántica y creída, ey, ey,
Ventajosa, oportunista y belicosa, ey, ey,
Mariposa, por una noche caprichosa ey, ey,
Pertrechera, aprovechada y bandolera,
Bandolera, bandolera, ey
The lyrics of Los Palmeras' song "Bandolera" tell the story of a man who is enamored with a woman who is causing him all sorts of sensations. Her movements excite and stimulate him while also making him feel restless and tingly. She beckons him to slip into her mouth and dance the batuka, causing him to go crazy with desire. However, she continually tells him no, even as she tantalizes him with her actions.
The woman is described as a capricious butterfly, opportunistic, conceited, and lacking in romance. She moves his body up and down, tightens and releases his heart, and completely throws him off-balance. Even though he knows that she is taking advantage of him, he cannot resist her charms and continues to chase after her.
Overall, "Bandolera" is a song about the irresistible allure of a woman who knows exactly how to manipulate a man's desires. The lyrics are filled with energy and passion, reflecting the emotions of the singer as he tries to navigate his tumultuous relationship with this captivating woman.
