Tipo Cursi Lyrics in English by Los Rumberos, Jósean Log
Intensear is a fascinating and somewhat informal verb that comes from the adjective "intenso" (intense). It means to act intensely, often in a persistent or even obsessive way, especially in a romantic context.
In "Tipo Cursi," the singer uses it to describe his uncharacteristic behavior when he's fallen in love: "Que no deja de intensear" (That he doesn't stop being intense/acting intensely). It perfectly captures the feeling of being overly eager or persistent when you're smitten, making it a memorable and relatable word for anyone who's been deeply in love.
Have you ever fallen so hard for someone that you barely recognize yourself? That's exactly what Los Rumberos and Jósean Log are singing about in "Tipo Cursi"! Our singer is head-over-heels, wanting a "para siempre" [forever] with this person, even admitting that "una vida sola no es suficiente" [one life alone isn't enough]. He's so smitten that he's scared to wake up without them, but also terrified of saying too much and losing them.
He can't believe how sappy he's become, confessing "Me desconozco así de cursi enamorado" [I don't recognize myself this corny in love]. He used to not be the "obsessed type" who can't stop texting and checking his phone for a sign. But now? He's totally that guy! He even jokes, "Espejito, espejito, dime, por favor, que hay otro wey que está peor que yo" [Mirror, mirror, tell me, please, there's another guy who's worse than me]. He's so far gone that even Chayanne's romantic songs are getting to him! It's a really fun and relatable take on how love can completely change you, even if you never thought you'd be the "cursi" [corny] type.
