Borondo is Colombian slang for going out to have fun, wander around, or party. In the song, "hoy salimos de borondo" means “today we’re heading out for a good time,” making this a lively and distinctly regional word that learners may not encounter in everyday Spanish lessons.
BRINCAITO is a party song, plain and simple, and Ryan Castro does not pretend otherwise. He walks into the club announcing "Hoy me quiero enamorar" [Today I want to fall in love], but the love he has in mind is a girl who dances well and hands out a couple of kisses. Then he narrows it down: he sees plenty of women, yet the hook keeps repeating "La que me gusta eres tú" [The one I like is you], stretched out into a chant of "tú, tú, tú" that is built for a crowd to yell back.
The verses get very explicit, very fast, so this is one to enjoy with headphones on. Listen for the Colombian slang, though. "Salimos de borondo" [we're going out for a spin] uses borondo, Medellín talk for a night out wandering around. When he says "Tengo la mía, tengo la paisa y la caleña" [I've got mine, I've got the girl from Medellín and the girl from Cali], a paisa is someone from the Antioquia region and a caleña is a woman from Cali. Bichote in "Mami, que aquí está tu bichote" [Babe, your big shot is here] is Puerto Rican street slang for a boss or kingpin, a nod to the reggaeton world he plays in. And "Una nota como de hongo" [A high like from mushrooms] is about as subtle as the rest of the night. The real instruction comes at the end: "Manos en el aire" [Hands in the air].
