Pegué comes from the verb pegar, which literally means "to stick" or "to hit". However, in the context of dancing and music, the reflexive form pegarse takes on a new meaning: to get very close to someone on the dance floor.
In the song, the narrator sings, "Me le pegué, me pegué, me pegué" (I got close to her, I got close to her, I got close to her) when he sees his ex dancing alone. This action, repeated for emphasis, is the turning point of the song, revealing that he hasn't moved on at all.
This song is a total banger, but the story it tells is actually pretty sad! Manuel Turizo sings about being completely heartbroken after a breakup. He's trying to move on, but it's not working at all. He says, "Dije que te olvidĂ© / Pero no te habĂa olvidado" (I said I forgot you / But I hadn't forgotten you). He's spending his days drinking and looking at old photos, feeling cold even when the sun is out.
Then, the beat drops and the story shifts to a club. He sees his ex dancing by herself, "bailando sola, bailando sola" (dancing alone, dancing alone). He gets close to her, and they spend hours together. It's his big chance to tell her the truth: he lied about being over her, especially when he was drunk. He asks for forgiveness and makes it clear he'll never forget her, ending with a toast: "Por ti mujer / Salud" (For you, woman / Cheers!). It's a classic story of drunk words being sober thoughts.
