empodera' is a shortened, modern slang version of the Spanish word empoderada, which means "empowered". It's a powerful adjective used to describe a woman who is confident, independent, and in control of her life.
In the song, Cris Mj uses this trendy word to admire the woman's strength, singing "Ella está empodera', no tiene falla'" (She's empowered, she has no flaws). It's a perfect word to learn as it reflects contemporary culture and positive self-image.
In "Ponte Bonita," Chilean artist Cris Mj lays out a plan for a perfect night with his partner, mixing luxury with intense intimacy. He tells her, "Ponte bonita, más de lo normal" (Get pretty, more than usual), because he wants to treat her to an unforgettable experience. This isn't just a normal date; he's offering to fly her to Madrid and buy her designer clothes, singing, "Vamos a gastar en la Amiri / Quiere Louis V, ya no quiere Gucci" (We're going to spend on Amiri / She wants Louis V, she doesn't want Gucci anymore). He sees her as a powerful and perfect woman—"ella está empodera', no tiene falla'" (she's empowered, she has no flaws)—and he's ready to fulfill her every desire.
The song is also very direct about their physical connection. Cris Mj promises that when they are alone, "Yo te voy a elevar a otro lugar" (I'm going to take you to another place), suggesting a transcendent, private moment. He appreciates her wild side, noting, "A mí me gusta cuando te pones traviesa" (I like it when you get mischievous). But even with all the talk about five-star hotels and expensive gifts, he makes it clear that their bond is what matters. He says she has "algo que nadie tiene" (something no one else has) and that money doesn't change her, showing that his admiration goes beyond the material things he can offer.
