Babe, it's the mayimbe again

Antony Santos, the bachatú, the bachatú, the bachatú

Verse 1

If I fail, babe, it's not your fault

Or: If I mess up, babe, you don't have the blame

You told it to me

Or: You told me that

That I should think very well because in life there exists

Loves with malice

Or: Malicious love / harmful love

I didn't want to fall in love, no

I didn't know that it was going to be like this

Or: I didn't know it would be like this

Believing in her, I gave her everything

'¡Ay, caramba!', from the Spanish interjections ay (denoting surprise or pain) and caramba (a deliberate misspelling for carajo), is an exclamation used to denote surprise

What pain I feel

My heart is to blame

Lit: My heart has the blame

That he fell in love with you

Or: That (it / he / the heart) fell in love with you

Chorus 1

I fell in love, I fell in love, and I don't even know how it happened

I fell in love and I don't know when it happened

I don't know why I noticed you

I fell in love, I fell in love, and I don't even know how it happened

Verse 2

Oh, how great in life to be in love

Of an impossible love

But what am I going to do if every time I love her more?

She is my favorite

Lit: She is my preferred

Oh, babe, I'm not to blame, no

Lit: Oh, babe, I don't have fault

My heart was what fell in love

It liked that woman

How great it is to fall in love like this

'¡Ay, caramba!' is used as a catchphrase of Bart Simpson from the animated sitcom The Simpsons.

Knowing that she doesn't love me

Chorus 2

I fell in love, I fell in love, and I don't even know how it happened

What do I do in this life like this?

Yes, oh, my friend, you tell me

What will become of me

I fell in love, I fell in love, and I don't even know how it happened

Babe, here is your mayimbe again

The bachatú, the bachatú for you

Oh, but how scary

That black girl of mine sounds nice

Verse 3

But tell me, my baby, why don't you give me your love

If I love you so much

Who loves you, you ignore

Lit: To whom loves you, you don't make the case / you don't care

You are my failure

Don't abandon me, sweetheart

Or: Don't leave me, my heart

I keep loving you until the end

Even if my baby doesn't love me

'Madre' usually means 'mother', but here it is used informally as 'babe' / 'baby'

Someday, you will be for me

Or: One day you'll be mine

How great it is to fall in love like this

Chorus 3

I fell in love, I fell in love, and I don't even know how it happened

What do I do in this life like this?

Yes, oh, my friend, you tell me

What will become of me

I fell in love, I fell in love, and I don't even know how it happened

Mayimbe — The Big Boss / The Head Honcho

Mayimbe is a popular Dominican slang term with roots in the indigenous Taíno language, where it referred to a village chief. Today, it's used to mean 'the boss', 'the big shot', or 'the main man'.

In the song, bachata superstar Anthony Santos proudly introduces himself with this nickname: "es el mayimbe otra vez" (it's the big boss again). Learning this word offers a fun peek into Caribbean culture and the confident flair of the bachata genre.

Have you ever fallen for someone you knew you shouldn't? That's exactly what's happening in this classic bachata by Anthony Santos. He starts the song by talking to his mom, saying, "Si fracaso, mamá, tú no tienes la culpa" [If I fail, mom, it's not your fault]. She warned him about tricky relationships, but he fell hard anyway. He insists it wasn't his choice; he blames his own heart for being so foolish!

He keeps repeating, "Me enamoré, me enamoré, y yo no sé ni cómo fue" [I fell in love, I fell in love, and I don't even know how it happened], which really gets across how sudden and out of control he feels. The worst part is that he knows it's an "amor imposible" [impossible love] and that she doesn't love him back. He even calls her his failure: "Tú eres mi fracaso" [You are my failure]. Still, he can't help himself and swears he'll love her until the end, hoping that one day she'll be his.
