Malditas Ganas (En Vivo) Lyrics in English by El Komander
Encamado literally means 'bedridden' or 'confined to bed', often due to illness. However, in a more colloquial and intimate context, especially in a song about a past relationship, it can imply being 'in bed with' someone, or being so comfortable and pampered by them that you're practically glued to their side.
In this song, the singer laments, "Me tenías tan encamado, me consentías como niño" (You had me so 'encamado', you pampered me like a child). This suggests a deep level of comfort, intimacy, and perhaps even dependency on his former partner, making it a unique and evocative word choice that goes beyond its literal medical meaning.
El Komander's "Malditas Ganas (En Vivo)" is a super relatable song about dealing with a breakup by, well, drinking a lot and reminiscing! Our guy is really going through it, admitting, "Y no se me quitan estas ganas malditas de tomar" [And I can't get rid of these damn urges to drink]. He's got his cooler full of beer, music on his iPhone, and he's just thinking about his lost love.
He misses being spoiled like a kid and can't shake the urge to call her, even wondering if she's blocked him. He even drives by her house! He says he'd forget her "Si no estuvieras tan chula te olvidaba" [If you weren't so pretty, I'd forget you], which is pretty funny and blunt. He's got the band playing a serenade for her, even though she's not there, and he's ordered her favorite songs. It's all because "olvidarte no puedo" [I can't forget you].
