Emborracharme literally means "to get myself drunk". While it often refers to alcohol, its use here is purely metaphorical and much more romantic.
In the song, Morat sings "Emborracharme así, de ti" (To get drunk like this, on you). He uses this powerful verb to describe the intoxicating feeling of being completely overwhelmed by love, as if the person he's with is the only "drink" he needs. It's a beautiful, poetic twist on a common word.
Picture this: a hot summer night in Madrid, and you spot someone across the room. Colombian band Morat turns that exact split-second spark into an infectious anthem about falling fast and without a safety net. The singer admits he was completely lacking in chill: "Perdona si no fui sutil" ("Forgive me if I wasn't subtle"). He is ordering beers, but what he really craves is a kiss, claiming that nothing tastes better than "tus labios en Madrid" ("your lips in Madrid"). Then comes the boldest, most ridiculous pickup line ever: he walks right up to a total stranger and blurts out, "Te he estado buscando por más de mil años" ("I've been looking for you for over a thousand years").
Instead of walking away, she plays right along with the title question: "¿A dónde vamos?" ("Where are we going?"). That three-word reply kicks off a wild romance that actually outlasts the holiday season. The narrator can't tell whether it was pure luck or fate ("Fue el destino o fue la suerte"), but defying all reasonable odds ("contra las apuestas"), the two are still partying long after summer ended. They proudly claim to be living proof of love at first sight ("amor a primera vista"), proving that sometimes an absurdly cheesy opening line and a Madrid summer night can totally change your life.
The four of Morat met at school in Bogotá, Colombia, and were playing as Malta by late 2011, renamed before the first record. Juan Pablo Isaza sings and plays guitar, Juan Pablo Villamil plays the banjo that gives their pop its country tilt, and the Vargas brothers hold the bottom end, Simón on bass and Martín on percussion.
They broke out in 2015, first on Paulina Rubio's "Mi nuevo vicio" and then with their own "Cómo te atreves". Sobre el amor y sus efectos secundarios (2016) led to Balas perdidas (2018), a number one in Spain and Mexico with "Besos en guerra" alongside Juanes plus "No se va", which Grupo Frontera's 2022 cover turned into their most-streamed song. ¿A dónde vamos? (2021) and Si ayer fuera hoy (2022) followed, then Ya es mañana (2025), their first Latin Grammy winner, for Best Pop/Rock Album. Its tour opened with six nights at Bogotá's Movistar Arena in August 2026, and a May 2026 duet with Silvestre Dangond, "Lo poco que yo quiero", previews a second volume.
