CAPCANA COCOA Lyrics in English by Blessd, Anuel AA
Liendra literally translates to "nit" or "louse egg," which is a small, parasitic insect egg. It's a very unusual and somewhat crude word to find in a song, making it memorable and intriguing.
In the context of this song, "liendra" is used colloquially in some Spanish-speaking regions to refer to someone who is cunning, shrewd, or even a bit of a hustler, often in a negative or self-serving way. The line "Pa' que vea que soy bien liendra" suggests the singer wants to show off his street smarts or his ability to get what he wants, despite the literal meaning of the word being quite unglamorous. This double meaning makes it a fascinating word choice.
The title comes from a smell. Blessd builds the hook around how she carries herself, "Siempre huele cabrón" (she always smells damn good) and "Con su splash de cocoa" (with her splash of cocoa), and then rates her the way he rates everything else he owns: "Nunca pasas de moda" (you never go out of style). Everything in this song has a label on it. A boat becomes a car inside one line, "Bajándonos del yatecito pa'l Rolls-Royce" (getting off the little yacht into the Rolls-Royce), the tequila is Clase Azul, the watch is a Rainbow Rolex, the blush is Sephora. Anuel AA takes the middle verse and pushes the crudeness about as far as Spanish will go, which is why he is on the record.
Blessd's own verse is the better one, because the flex quietly comes home. He promises her the resort, "Y a Punta Cana también la voy a llevar" (and I am going to take her to Punta Cana too), but the line right before it is "A Castilla me la llevo en la moto" (I take her to Castilla on the motorbike), and Castilla is a Medellín barrio, not a beach. He also admits "Pa' que vea que soy bien liendra" (so she sees I am really stingy) two lines before agreeing to buy the two chains she asked for. For a track this loud about designer names, what it actually describes is a couple on a motorbike.
