“Robarte Un Beso” is a lively vallenato-pop confession where Carlos Vives and Sebastián Yatra muster the courage to turn years of silent affection into one daring request: “let me steal a kiss.” The singers reminisce about old songs, shared laughter and the flutter of mariposas (butterflies) that still spark between them. Each lyric is a playful plea to break the ice, crank up the music and capture that long-awaited moment that goes straight to the soul.
At its heart, the track celebrates the thrill of rediscovered love. By blending Vives’s classic vallenato flavor with Yatra’s youthful charisma, it paints a picture of two people who have always cared for each other yet never spoke up. Now they lean on music, humor and a little bit of cheeky bravado to say what words alone could not: “I want you to fall in love and never leave.” The result is an infectious reminder that sometimes the sweetest romance begins with a stolen kiss and an old song you both adore.
