Robaré is the future tense of the verb robar, meaning "to steal". In this passionate bachata, the word takes on a romantic and daring meaning, rather than a literal one.
Prince Royce sings "Te robaré esta noche" ("I will steal you tonight"), promising to sweep his love away for a secret night together, defying her disapproving parents. It’s a powerful word that captures the song's thrilling theme of forbidden romance.
Prince Royce is telling a classic story of forbidden love in this bachata hit. He's completely crazy about someone, but there's a big problem: “Tus padres no me aceptan en casa” (Your parents don't accept me at home). So, what's his solution? He's not giving up. Instead, he's planning a secret nighttime visit, promising “por tu ventana yo entraré” (I will enter through your window). It’s a bold plan driven by a desire he just can't control.
His feelings are so intense that he doesn't care about the consequences. He sings, “No importa el peligro, yo te quiero ver” (The danger doesn't matter, I want to see you). The whole song builds up to his repeated, passionate promise: “Te robaré esta noche” (I will steal you tonight). He doesn't mean he's actually kidnapping her, of course. It's a romantic way of saying he's going to sneak her away for a secret night together, where he promises she “serás mía esta noche” (will be mine tonight).
