Mi Rumba
Sofi Tukker Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Call me a pervert, call me a freak
I want every part of you inside every part of me

Call me a pervert, call me a freak
I want every part of you inside every part of me

Go ahead let me watch you
Watch you watching me
Let me call you baby, let me call you queen
Let me breath in for you, let me be obscene
Let me tell you way too much about me, my queen

I want every part of you inside every part of me

Mi rumba

I own what I have, I have what I want, I want you
I want what I have, I want to know, want to own you
I own what I have, I have what I want, I want you
I want what I have, I want to know, want to own you

Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba
Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba
Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba
Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba

Let me watch your hips slow motion like a rumba
We can work your body like they do it in Cuba
What I do to you, what I do to you
You gone feel exhausted like you shopping in Shibuya

Go ahead let me watch you
Watch you watching me
Let me call you baby, let me call you queen
Let me breath in for you, let me be obscene
Let me tell you way too much about me, my queen
(My queen, my queen, my queen...)

You can be the one to lead and carve yourself into me
You can put me in a bind 'cause I'm already free
We can lap it up, lick it up
Every last trick I love
Lick it like an animal feed
I'm a woman with an appetite, not afraid to say what I need

Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba
Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba




Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba
Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba

Overall Meaning

In Sofi Tukker's song "Mi Rumba", the lyrics are clearly focused on sexual desire, lust, and ownership. The singer repeats the lines “Call me a pervert, call me a freak, I want every part of you inside every part of me”. The singer is expressing the desire to completely possess and have their partner, physically and mentally. By referring to their partner as "my queen", the song also touches upon the idea of dominance and submission in the relationship. The singer desires to be reckless with their partner, to share their deepest desires and reveal their true selves.


The chorus "Mi rumba, danza con mi rumba" emphasizes the physical connection between the two, through dancing- a way of expressing oneself through movement. "Rumba" means dance in Spanish, and the repeated phrase emphasizes the importance of physical touch and a shared rhythm to connect with the partner. The song also references the Cuban dance style Rumba, which adds to the idea of passion and movement in the relationship.


The lyrics of "Mi Rumba" are controversial and have sparked debate about whether the lyrics empower or objectify women. However, the song could also be interpreted as sexual liberation from the female perspective, where the woman is owning her desires and expressing them freely. The song's intentions are left to the listener's interpretation.
