Tampoco Poco Lyrics in English Juan Pablo Vega , Irepelusa
Capricho translates to "whim" or "craving." It's a fascinating word because it describes a sudden, often irrational, desire or impulse.
In the song, the lyric "Me nació un capricho de repente / De quererte a ti" (A whim was born in me suddenly / To love you) beautifully captures the unexpected and almost impulsive nature of falling for someone. It suggests a desire that arises spontaneously, making it a memorable and emotionally resonant word.
Have you ever had a connection with someone that was hard to define? That's the feeling at the heart of "Tampoco Poco." The song tells the story of two people who reconnect after a long time apart. The singer remembers being at a low point—"biting the dust" (mordía el polvo)—the last time they met. Their reunion is a night that flies by in what feels like a second (se pasó la noche solo en un segundo).
Despite the intensity, the relationship remains a mystery. The singer feels the other person doesn't truly know them, yet admits there was something between them. This feeling is perfectly captured by the title, which means "not a little either." It wasn't a grand love story, but it wasn't nothing. It was an undefined, fleeting moment—so short, they "didn't even have time to miss each other" (ni alcanzamos a extrañarnos), but powerful enough to make the singer's skin dance to the rhythm of the other's voice.
