cochineomessing around / fooling around

Cochineo is a playful slang term that's hard to translate with a single word. It means 'messing around' or 'dirty business', usually in a flirty or steamy context, and comes from the word cochino (pig).

In the lyrics, the singer asks, "¿Recuerdas todo el cochineo en el lambo rentao'?" (Do you remember all the messing around in the rented Lambo?). This cheeky word perfectly hints at their secret, passionate past and makes you want to learn the full story behind their forbidden fun.

In “El Que Espera,” Brazilian pop sensation Anitta joins Colombian superstar Maluma for a playful, bilingual confession about two ex-lovers who never quite let go; over a breezy pop beat they laugh at paparazzi flashes, recall steamy nights in a rented Lambo, and admit that even new relationships cannot erase their chemistry, so they strike a carefree pact built on the mantra “el que espera se consigue lo que quiera”—the one who waits gets what they want—promising to take turns stealing moments of passion, enjoying the thrill of anticipation, and proving that patience, mischief, and mutual attraction can keep the flame burning no matter how much time—or how many partners—come between them.
