Sumergido translates to "submerged" or "immersed." It's a vivid and evocative word that paints a strong picture.
In the song, Farruko sings, "TĂș me tienes sumergido en un trance" (You have me submerged in a trance). He uses this word metaphorically to express how completely captivated and lost he is in the moment and the presence of the other person, as if he's entirely underwater in their spell.
Ever had a crush on a friend and didn't know how to make a move? That's the whole vibe of Farruko's "Chillax." He starts off a little shy, admitting, "yo no me atrevo a preguntarte" (I don't dare to ask you), but he quickly makes his intentions clear. He wants to "olvidemos que somos amigos" (forget that we're friends) and just relax together. The whole song is an invitation to do just that, summed up by the title and the main hook: "TĂș chilling, yo chilling / Vamos a pasarla bien" (You chilling, I'm chilling / Let's have a good time).
He sets a very specific scene for this romantic night with "Velas encendidas, botella de champĂĄn, dos copas" (Candles lit, a bottle of champagne, two glasses). From there, the song becomes a direct request for a slow dance so he can "sentir tu cuerpo" (feel your body). Ky-Mani Marley jumps in with some English, playing the role of a student ready to learn from his beautiful teacher. It's a smooth, confident track about turning up the heat and seeing if a friendship can become something more.
Carlos Efrén Reyes Rosado was writing songs at eleven, then left school to fix cars alongside his father in Bayamón, Puerto Rico, and built his first audience on MySpace. As Farruko he put out El Talento del Bloque in 2010, at nineteen.
The big records came through other people's at first: "6 AM" with J Balvin, "Passion Whine" with Sean Paul, "Krippy Kush" with Bad Bunny and Rvssian, and the "Calma" remix with Pedro CapĂł, which took a Latin Grammy in 2019. Then "Pepas" in 2021, guaracha electrĂłnica built on Colombian club music rather than reggaeton, hit number one on Hot Latin Songs and has passed 1.7 billion Spotify streams. In February 2022 he stopped a Miami arena show to preach for about fifteen minutes, refused to sing "Pepas" and apologised for its lyrics, and told the crowd that Farru was retired and Carlos was there now. He returned to touring in May 2023 and released the 26-track CVRBON VRMOR in October 2024.
