Salvajes translates to "wild" or "wild ones". It's a word that perfectly captures the romantic, rebellious spirit of this song.
Kevin Kaarl paints a picture of escaping with a lover "a vivir salvajes, libres" (to live wild, free) in San Lucas. This isn't about being dangerous; it's about living a passionate, untamed life together, full of adventure and free from society's rules.
This song is a wild, romantic escape plan. Kevin Kaarl is trying to convince someone he loves to run away with him. He tells her, "Dile ya a tus papás que no vas a regresar / Te vas con un loco que no te para de amar" (Tell your parents you're not coming back / You're leaving with a crazy guy who won't stop loving you). The plan is to go to San Lucas and live a free, untamed life together.
He's not just offering an adventure; he's trying to rescue her from a sad past. He pleads with her to "olvida el miedo que hay en ti" (forget the fear inside you) and to stop crying in her room. His love for her is intense and poetic. He wants to "desnudar tu alma y dedicarle una canciĂłn" (undress your soul and dedicate a song to it), showing he wants a connection that's deeper than just physical. It's a beautiful, urgent song about leaving everything behind for love.
