A calentar
A calentar
Esto a ti, a ti, te va a calentar
A calentar
A calentar
Sino a uno como te con ese vocabulario
Contigo yo pierdo hasta mis buenos modales
Aunque terminemos como dos animales
Muévete, muévete como un invertebrado
Soy tu cazadora y tu eres mi venado
Si mamita yo soy como Bambi, tu venadito
Dale, cállate y ponte de ladito
Esto a ti te va a calentar
A calentar
A calentar
Esto a ti, a ti, te va a calentar
A calentar
A calentar
Eso que me dices tu, eso
Son palabras bonitas dedicadas llenas de amor para mi
(Tu eres mi gordita)
Eso que me dices te, eso
Son palabras bonitas dedicadas llenas de amor para mi
Oye, oye, oye
Perversión absoluta en el área
Perverso como tener sexo en una funeraria
Yo soy el jefe, y yo la secretaria
Deja que te saque tu lado de ordinaria
Shaki te estas bien bonita
Aunque también me gustabas cuando estabas mas gordita
Con el pelito negrito y la cara redondita
Y así medio rockerita
También me gustas ahora, pero cuando pierdes los modales
Cuando comes sin cubiertos (como los animales)
Cuando se te sale lo sucio, lo obsceno
Todo lo que sabe bueno, todo el veneno
Si yo soy criminal (tu eres una delincuente)
Vamos a tirarnos los dos del mismo puente
Sin paracaídas de nuestro mundo volando
(Como los hippies cuando están fumando)
Eso que me dices te, eso
Son palabras bonitas dedicadas llenas de amor para mi
(Tu eres mi gordita)
Esto a ti te va a calentar
A calentar
A calentar
Esto a ti, a ti, te va a calentar
A calentar
A calentar
Me gusta que me mires como una delincuente
Soy Caperucita, y te eres el lobo que miente
Invítame a pasarme por el lado salvaje
Donde yo no tenga que llevar maquillaje
Puedo decirte todo, todo lo que pienso
Soy peor que te, y si me buscas yo te encuentro
Chiquita rica que me rasca cuando pica chica
Chiquito dame un pico chico en el hocico rico
Yo poco a poco (poco) te toco un poco (poco)
Tarara tarara tara tarara
Chiquita rica que me rasca cuando pica chica
Chiquito dame un pico chico en el hocico rico
Yo poco a poco (poco) te toco un poco (poco)
Tarara tarara tara tarara
Esto a ti te va a calentar
A calentar
A calentar
Esto a ti, a ti, te va a calentar
A calentar
A calentar
Eso que me dices te, eso
Son palabras bonitas dedicadas llenas de amor para mi
(Te eres mi gordita)
Eso que me dices te, eso
Son palabras bonitas dedicadas llenas de amor para mi
The lyrics of Shakira's song "Gordita" explores a lustful and rebellious relationship between two people who are not seeking perfection but rather embracing each other's flaws and imperfections. The phrase "Esto a ti te va a calentar" is repeated throughout the song and translates to "This is going to heat you up." The song's provocative lyrics celebrate the rawness and primal instincts of love, as they move like "two animals" and explore their darker sides. The lyrics suggest that the woman desires a man who is not only intelligent and wealthy but also one who can speak to her in a language that arouses her. The song also suggests that the woman is not just a pretty face, but a capable and confident partner who isn't afraid to break societal norms and expectations.
Overall, "Gordita" is a celebration of love that is not about appearances or status, but rather about two people finding each other and embracing their shared passions and imperfections. It is a song that encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and follow their desires in love.
