Swing Lyrics in English by Danny Ocean
Hechizas comes from the verb hechizar, which means 'to bewitch' or 'to cast a spell on.' It's a word filled with magic and enchantment.
In the song, Danny Ocean asks, "¿Cuántas veces tú hechizas a la gente?" (How many times do you bewitch people?). He uses this word to describe a person's charm as a powerful, irresistible force, almost like a magic spell. It’s a poetic and dramatic way to express being completely captivated by someone.
Venezuelan artist Danny Ocean turns the agony of intense attraction into pure flirtation in "Swing." From the very first line, he admits that being around his crush is sweet torture: "Es complicado verte / Verte, olerte y pasarte a un lado y querer detenerte" ("It's complicated seeing you / Seeing you, smelling you, walking past you and wanting to stop you"). He watches every move she makes, admitting he basically falls apart inside with "Me arrugo, derrito por ti lentamente" ("I shrivel, I melt for you slowly"). Instead of backing down, he compares his pursuit to a chess match, boldly betting that her cool defense won't last forever: "Pero como el ajedrez / La reina cae alguna vez" ("Like in chess, the queen falls eventually").
The whole track hinges on playful Caribbean slang and flirtatious requests. When Danny sings "'Cércate un chin, chin", he is using the Caribbean word un chin, which simply means "a little bit"—asking her to step just a tiny bit closer. Then comes the title hook: "Lánzame un swing, swing / Lánzame un swing y bátete el pelo" ("Throw me a swing, and shake your hair"). He borrows the English baseball term swing to describe a flirty, swaying movement or vibe, daring her to whip her hair and bewitch him all over again. He even jokes, "Así que mátame decente" ("So kill me decently"), completely hooked and begging for another round of her charm.
