Desliz literally means a “slip” or “mistake,” but it can also describe a romantic or sexual indiscretion. In the line “Esta noche puede ser mi desliz” (“Tonight could be my indiscretion”), Arcángel uses it to suggest a spontaneous lapse in judgment, making this a memorable word with a nuanced meaning.
Arcángel's "Iré A Buscarte" is a reggaeton come-on with no mystery about where the night is headed. The hook says it plainly: "Esta noche iré a buscarte" (tonight I'm coming to get you), followed by "No te cohíbas, nada va pasarte" (don't hold back, nothing's going to happen to you) and a cocky prediction, "De seguro vas a volver" (you'll definitely come back).
The verses get explicit fast, and Arcángel plays with English and Italian along the way, from "Venga conmigo para París" (come with me to Paris) to "Podría convertirte en mi miss" (I could make you my miss) and a cheeky "¿Capich?" (capiche?). It's useful for slang like "desliz" (a fling) and "la rola" (the song), and a reminder that this one is strictly for adult learners.
