Que Te la Pongo
Mexcal Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que te la pongo, te la pongo ya
Que te la pongo, que te la pongo
Que te la pongo y no lo sentirás
Que te la pongo, que te la pongo
Que te la pongo, te la pongo ya
Que te la pongo, que te la pongo
Una chamaca me dijo que sufría de soledad
Yo que conozco el remedio le ofrecí mi talismán
Preguntó cómo se baila con mucha preocupación
Y yo le di su besito y la fiesta comenzó
Y yo le di su besito y la fiesta comenzó
Ven, que te de mi cintura, siente el calor tropical
Sube de aquí a la cabeza, ... como el champagne
El secreto está en el pasito, sí, te va a enamorar
Vas a perder el sentido, y mañana
Vas a perder el sentido, y mañana
Ella que tanto sufría con mi calor se curó
El efecto fue tanto que hasta el cura nos llamó
Ella que tanto sufría con mi calor se curó
El efecto fue tanto que hasta el cura nos llamó
El efecto fue tanto que hasta el cura nos llamó
The lyrics of Mexcal's song Que Te la Pongo signify the singer's offer to cure someone's loneliness through dancing and physical intimacy. The song's title, which translates to "What do I put on you," is repeated throughout the song to emphasize the singer's intent to offer physical comfort to their partner. The repetitive nature of the lyrics and the rhythm of the music create a sensual and inviting atmosphere for the listener.
The second stanza of the song sees the singer offering their hand to their partner and encouraging them to feel the "tropical heat" of their body. They suggest that the dance is the key to losing oneself in that moment and forgetting all worries. The lyrics suggest that the singer's partner was suffering and that intimacy and dancing with them had a healing effect on that person. The mention of the priest at the end of the song suggests that their actions were so scandalous that even religious authorities took notice, emphasizing the sensuous and taboo nature of the song's lyrics.
