Crib es una palabra de argot en inglés que significa 'casa' o 'apartamento'. Aunque literalmente puede referirse a una cuna de bebé, en el contexto de la música urbana y el hip-hop, se usa comúnmente para hablar del hogar de alguien.
En esta canción, Chris Brown canta: "She's the only one I want up in my crib", lo que significa que ella es la única persona que quiere en su casa. Es una palabra interesante porque muestra un uso informal y moderno del inglés que es muy frecuente en la música.
This is a song about that pull you feel toward someone when you cannot quite name what it is you like about them. The title says it plainly: there is something about you, and that something is what I love. The singer lists the parts he keeps coming back to, her hair, her mouth, her skin, her waist, but the point is that the list never really explains the feeling.
The chorus is about two people closing the distance. They keep getting nearer, feeling each other, kissing, enjoying one another where nobody can see them. It is a private thing, and the repetition of "seguimos" makes it sound like a process rather than a single moment.
Chris Brown and T-Pain carry the English verses, and they say the same thing from a slightly different angle. He has been looking for her for a while, he cannot get her out of his head, and he wants her to take his hand and move. He also admits she probably does not know how beautiful she is, which is a softer note in a song that is mostly confident.
The track is a good one for learners because it switches languages cleanly. The Spanish sections give you reflexive verbs used the way people actually use them, "acercándonos", "besándonos", "disfrutándonos", all built on the same "-ándonos" ending that means "we are doing this to each other". The English sections stay simple and conversational, so you can hear the same idea expressed twice in two languages.
