No Se Me Quita Lyrics in English by Maluma, Ricky Martin
Descarado translates to "shameless" or "brazen". It's a fantastic word to describe someone who acts with bold confidence, without worrying about what others think.
In the song, Maluma sings that a kiss "terminó un poco más descarado" (ended a little more shamelessly). He's not using it in a negative way; instead, he's describing a moment of fun, flirty passion where both people let go of their inhibitions. It perfectly captures the song's playful and irresistible energy.
Colombian reggaeton star Maluma teams up with pop powerhouse Ricky Martin for "No Se Me Quita," and the entire track is basically a confession about an encounter you cannot wash off your brain. The title translates directly to "It Doesn't Go Away" or "I Can't Shake It Off." They kick things off admitting they are daydreaming about someone they barely even know: "¿No sé por qué te extraño / Si somos dos extraños?" ("I don't know why I miss you / If we're two strangers?"). What started as a quick, stolen kiss quickly escalated into something far bolder: "un poco más descarado" ("a bit more shameless"). Now, the lingering physical sensation is stuck on replay: "El sabor de tu boca / Sigue estando en mi boca" ("The taste of your mouth / Is still in my mouth").
The lyrics lean heavily into feverish, playful metaphors for lust. Maluma jokes that "pa' lo que siento no hay vacuna" ("there's no vaccine for what I feel"), while claiming his partner's beauty is only making the obsession worse. When he delivers lines like "Tú abusas, me usas / Lo sabes, me gusta" ("You take advantage, you use me / You know it, I like it"), he completely surrenders control, admitting he loves being played. There is also a great visual idiom in the chorus: "la mente en la luna / Y los pies en el piso" ("mind on the moon / and feet on the ground"). It describes that dizzy, daydreaming headspace where your body has to go about regular daily life while your brain is floating off somewhere in orbit after an intense night.
