Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Rabiosa" are of a flirtatious and playful nature. It talks about having a wild and crazy time, being attracted to someone, and wanting to be tied up to that person. The chorus repeats the word "rabiosa," which loosely translates to "furious" or "wild," perhaps in the context of passion or lust. The song includes lines like "scratch my back and bite my mouth," suggesting a physical relationship. The verses also mention multiple "crazy" people waiting in line and getting into trouble, adding to the overall feeling of daring and excitement.


However, it's important to note that the lyrics are in Spanish and some of the subtleties and translations may be lost in interpretation. Furthermore, some may argue that the lyrics objectify or demean women, but it's up to individual interpretation.

وَجَاء مِنْ أَقْصَى الْمَدِينَةِ رَجُلٌ يَسْعَى قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ اتَّبِعُوا الْمُرْسَلِينَ
And there came a man running from the farthest part of the town.
اتَّبِعُوا مَن لاَّ يَسْأَلُكُمْ أَجْراً وَهُم مُّهْتَدُونَ
Obey those who ask no wages of you
وَمَا لِي لاَ أَعْبُدُ الَّذِي فَطَرَنِي وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ
"It would not be reasonable in me if I did not serve Him Who created me, and to Whom ye shall (all) be brought back.
أَأَتَّخِذُ مِن دُونِهِ آلِهَةً إِن يُرِدْنِ الرَّحْمَن بِضُرٍّ لاَّ تُغْنِ عَنِّي شَفَاعَتُهُمْ شَيْئاً وَلاَ يُنقِذُون
ِ"Shall I take (other) gods besides Him? If (Allah) Most Gracious should intend some adversity for me, of no use whatever will be their intercession for me, nor can they deliver me.
إِنِّي إِذاً لَّفِي ضَلاَلٍ مُّبِينٍ
"I would indeed, if I were to do so, be in manifest Error.
إِنِّي آمَنتُ بِرَبِّكُمْ فَاسْمَعُونِ
"For me, I have faith in the Lord of you (all): listen, then, to me!"
قِيلَ ادْخُلِ الْجَنَّةَ قَالَ يَا لَيْتَ قَوْمِي يَعْلَمُونَ
It was said: "Enter thou the Garden." He said: "Ah me! Would that my People knew (what I know)!-
بِمَا غَفَرَ لِي رَبِّي وَجَعَلَنِي مِنَ الْمُكْرَمِينَ
