Si Tú Me Besas (En Vivo) (If You Kiss Me (Live))
Señoras y señores la primera sorpresa de
La noche
Para ustedes
Si tú me besas
Ladies and gentlemen the first surprise of
The Night
For you
If You Kiss Me

Get ready to feel the passion with Nelson Arrieta's "Si Tú Me Besas (En Vivo)"! This song is a full-on celebration of a kiss, a playful and intense invitation to get lost in the moment. From the very start, the singer promises to return your mouth if you kiss him, saying "si tú me besas, prometo devolverte tu boca" [if you kiss me, I promise to give you your mouth back]. It's a bold and fun way to kick things off!

The lyrics are all about letting go and embracing the thrill of a kiss. He wants to be the one to "gobernarte en tu misterio" [govern you in your mystery] and discover new ways to kiss. There's a sense of urgency and desire, asking for kisses "sin miedo" [without fear] and even comparing the act to a "secuestro" [kidnapping] that you don't resist. He wants to explore every inch, even saying "no se te olvide darle la bienvenida a mi nariz" [don't forget to welcome my nose]. It's a fun, slightly over-the-top declaration of wanting to lose himself completely in the other person, hoping that after this "festival de besos" [festival of kisses], she'll want to stay forever.

Lo Eres Todo (En Vivo) (You Are Everything (Live))
La canta con nosotros
Vamos a necesitar el cordón
Y dice así
En ella
sing it with us
we are going to need the cord
and she says like this
in her

Nelson Arrieta and Ronald Borjas bring us a beautiful declaration of love in "Lo Eres Todo (En Vivo)"! This song is all about appreciating that special person who is everything to you, even if you don't always say it perfectly.

The singers admit they aren't perfect, singing, "yo sé que no soy perfecto que no te digo a todo momento que te amo tanto" [I know I'm not perfect, that I don't tell you all the time that I love you so much]. But they make it clear that this person is their "fuerza" [strength], the "beso que me das cuando despiertas" [kiss you give me when you wake up], and even the one who "me lleva a hablar de Dios" [leads me to talk about God]. It's a sweet reminder that actions and deep feelings often speak louder than words, and that true love is about being each other's reason for living.

Eres Más (En Vivo) (You Are More (Live))
Se las aves
Son
Las mansiones estas calles sin tus besos
Mi camino sin camino que me lleve el
be the birds
are
the mansions these streets without your kisses
my path without a path that leads me

Nelson Arrieta and Ronald Borjas team up for "Eres Más (En Vivo)," a song that really digs into how much one person can mean to another. The lyrics paint a picture of a world that feels empty and meaningless without the one they love. They sing about how even the birds and mansions on the streets feel different without their loved one's kisses, and their path feels like "mi camino sin camino que me lleve" [my path without a path to take me].

The singers look back at happier times, remembering "días presos de caricias y de amor donde todo eran risas y pasión" [days captive to caresses and love where everything was laughter and passion]. Now, their songs don't even want to be written, and they feel like their soul can't live if their loved one isn't there. They're asking for a second chance, hoping to "cogeremos en el tiempo esta oportunidad y vivamos un eterno suspirar" [take this opportunity in time and live an eternal sigh]. It's a powerful declaration of love, saying that their loved one is "más de lo que todo el amor" [more than all love] and that their gaze lights up only with their breath.

Nelson Arrieta's "Regálame Tu Amor (En Vivo)" featuring Ronald Borjas is a passionate plea for love, delivered with the raw emotion of a live performance. The song opens with Nelson sharing a fun anecdote about how he really wanted to record this particular song, even pestering Gustavo Aguado for it!

From the very first lines, the singer is begging for any piece of his beloved's affection: "Regálame tu amor" [Give me your love], "o la sombra de tus ojos" [or the shadow of your eyes], "o tu tiempo como ahora" [or your time like now]. He needs her presence to feel complete, confessing, "necesito tu presencia, necesito tu cariño, necesito" [I need your presence, I need your affection, I need you]. It's a powerful declaration of how much he relies on her, stating, "comprende que a tu lado soy yo" [understand that by your side, I am myself]. He even asks for a single tear, "regálame una lágrima siquiera porque necesito tener algo de ti" [give me at least one tear because I need to have something of you]. It's a really intense and heartfelt song about wanting someone back in your life.

Las Caraqueñas (En Vivo) (The Caraqueñas (Live))
Tiene enganche cunningham y que de
Caracas con su caminar tanta razón que
Todo está arriba cuando la miro la
Espalda el cuerpo
has cunningham hitch and what of
caracas with its walk so right that
everything is up when I look at her
back the body

This song is a high-energy celebration of women from Caracas, Venezuela, affectionately called "Las Caraqueñas." The singers are completely captivated by their walk, their bodies, and their overall presence. They repeatedly mention how these women have a special "tumbao" [swing/rhythm] in their walk that's incredibly attractive.

The lyrics are full of admiration, with lines like "todo está arriba cuando la miro la espalda el cuerpo" [everything is up when I look at her back, her body] and "se me paran los pelos como camino de las telarañas" [my hairs stand on end like the path of spiderwebs] when describing their captivating movement. The song also playfully suggests that these women are so enchanting, they might even "engañan" [deceive] you! It's a lively and passionate ode to the unique charm and beauty of Las Caraqueñas, making you want to get up and dance along with their irresistible rhythm.

Get ready for a song that's both humorous and heartfelt! Nelson Arrieta introduces "Te Encontraré (En Vivo)" by explaining that the songwriter, Johann Morales, was inspired by an endangered species. What species, you ask? According to Nelson, it's us: "los hombres fieles" [faithful men]! So, if you have a faithful man in your life, hold him tight because, as Nelson jokes, there aren't many left!

This song tells the story of someone who regrets losing a love, wishing they had fought harder: "debí correr más fuerte, debí darte una balanza y no perderte" [I should have run faster, I should have given you balance and not lost you]. He's full of longing, realizing too late the value of what he had: "siempre pasa igual cuando se pierde algo, no dices cuánto vale quién está a tu lado" [it always happens the same when something is lost, you don't say how much the person by your side is worth]. Despite the pain, he's determined to win her back, declaring, "te encontraré, yo seguiré tu piel, no perderé la fe, yo quiero estar contigo otra vez" [I will find you, I will follow your skin, I will not lose faith, I want to be with you again]. There's even a funny moment where Nelson asks Ronald Borjas what he'd say if his partner left him for someone else. Ronald's response? "Que le vaya muy bien" [I wish them well] – a sentiment Nelson admits he doesn't quite identify with, preferring to fight for love! He promises to search "hasta debajo de las piedras" [even under the stones] until he finds her.

Pídeme, Ah-Ah / O-No (En Vivo) (Ask Me, Ah-Ah / O-No (Live))

and
So

Get ready to feel the passion in Nelson Arrieta and Ronald Borjas's "Pídeme, Ah-Ah / O-No (En Vivo)"! This song is all about a love so intense, the singer is willing to do absolutely anything for the person they adore. They start by asking the listener to join in, setting a fun, interactive mood.

The lyrics are full of grand declarations. The singer says, "Pídeme la luna y te la bajo" [Ask me for the moon and I'll bring it down to you] and "Pídeme un tesoro y te lo traigo" [Ask me for a treasure and I'll bring it]. They want to be everything to their beloved: their air, their obsession, their passion. It's a playful yet deeply romantic song that promises endless devotion, even asking for "la llave de tu cuerpo" [the key to your body] and saying they'd give "el firmamento" [the firmament] for one night. It's a bold and exciting declaration of love!

Tú Y Yo Tenemos (En Vivo) (You And I Have (Live))
En mi comida favorita son tus labios
Increíble que hace en sólo dos segundos
No sabe quiero desearte como dios te
Trajo al mundo
in my favorite food are your lips
amazing what it does in just two seconds
You don't know I want to wish you like God
brought to the world

Nelson Arrieta and Ronald Borjas team up for "Tú Y Yo Tenemos (En Vivo)", a song that's all about intense, undeniable desire. From the very first lines, the singer is completely captivated, declaring that his favorite food is his lover's lips: "en mi comida favorita son tus labios". He's lost in just two seconds, wanting to desire her "como dios te trajo al mundo" [as God brought you into the world].

It's a playful and passionate invitation to a no-holds-barred encounter. They sing about a "cita sin ropa" [date without clothes] and "una luna y dos copas sin mirar el reloj" [a moon and two glasses without looking at the clock]. The lyrics are pretty direct, with lines like "su propuesta no es tan dura esa indecencia" [her proposal isn't so hard, that indecency] and acknowledging that "ya perdimos la paciencia" [we've already lost patience]. It's clear they both feel this strong pull, a "asunto pendiente" [pending matter] that needs to be resolved. The song is a fun, energetic expression of mutual attraction and the excitement of giving in to desire.

Ahora No (En Vivo) (Not Now (Live))
Tengo la lista ay mi madre
Ahora no
Te
Agobies abuela
I have the list oh my mother
not now
tea
overwhelm grandma

This song is a powerful story of heartbreak and regret. The singer is reeling from a breakup, feeling like their former love just left without a second thought. They sing, "te fuiste de mi vida sin importar lo que había en entre el resto" [you left my life without caring about what was between the rest of us], which really hits hard.

It sounds like the singer is struggling to find a reason to live after this person left, saying "al partir no pude sonreír más nunca una razón para vivir" [when you left I could never smile again, no more reason to live]. There's a moment where they mention seeing their ex "tomando de la mano con otro" [holding hands with someone else], and you can feel the pain and betrayal. Even though they admit to making mistakes, saying "me fallaste como no comprendía" [you failed me as I didn't understand], there's a clear sense of longing and a wish that things could go back to how they were, even though they know it's too late. It's a really emotional track about the aftermath of a love lost.

Luciana (En Vivo) (Luciana (Live))
Y te suena
Y bachillerato
Aquí después de una semana de espera por
Ti luciana pero si quieres que vuelves
and it sounds like you
and high school
here after a week of waiting for
you Luciana but if you want to come back

This live version of "Luciana" is a passionate plea from a man who is absolutely smitten and desperate to win Luciana's affection. He's been waiting for her, even saying, "después de una semana de espera por ti Luciana" [after a week of waiting for you, Luciana]. He's willing to do anything, even change his name, as he declares, "hasta el nombre me cambié y eso tú lo ves Luciana" [I even changed my name, and you see that, Luciana].

He's not just making empty promises; he's ready to make serious commitments. He promises, "a tu mamá más nunca la vuelvo a insultar" [I'll never insult your mom again] and begs her to "ten compasión llamaba con mi corazón" [have compassion, I called with my heart]. He sees her as his everything, his "mujer, mi vida perdida" [woman, my lost life], and warns her, "no me dejes así, mira que me muero por ti" [don't leave me like this, look, I'm dying for you]. It's a fun, over-the-top declaration of love that's sure to get you moving!

Todo Quedó (En Vivo) (Everything Remained (Live))
A recordar
Recuerdo aquel día que te estabas tú me
Vas creando tu risa tu mirada a plena
Luz
to remember
I remember that day that you were with me
you are creating your laughter your gaze in full
light

Nelson Arrieta and Ronald Borjas bring us a song that's all about looking back at a love that didn't quite make it. The singer remembers a specific day, seeing his love "vestida de flores con aromas de colores" [dressed in flowers with scents of colors], captivated by her smile and gaze. He admits he didn't fall in love at first sight, but her innocence and her body eventually won him over.

But as the title suggests, "Todo Quedó" [Everything Remained] in the past. He reflects on how their youthful story left an influence on his heart, and now he regrets that she's not by his side. He wishes she were there to tell him things, even though he feels happy in the present moment. It's a bittersweet feeling of remembering a love that was special, but ultimately, it "quedó entre las sombras" [remained in the shadows], a past that won't return. He even says, "toda mi vida, todo mi mundo" [all my life, all my world] was part of it, but it's all in the past now.
