Quiéreme Mientras Se Pueda (Remix) Lyrics in English by Manuel Turizo, Jay Wheeler, Miky Woodz

Traga'o is a colloquial and very expressive word, a shortened form of "tragado," which literally means "swallowed." However, in this context, it's used as slang to mean "infatuated" or "smitten."

In the song, Manuel Turizo sings, "Lo que pidas te lo doy, traga'o de ti estoy" (Whatever you ask for, I'll give you, I'm infatuated with you). This word perfectly captures the intense, all-consuming feeling of being deeply in love, making it a memorable and enticing choice for a learner.

Colombian singer Manuel Turizo teams up with Jay Wheeler and Miky Woodz for the remix of "Quiéreme Mientras Se Pueda", and the whole message is simple: don't wait to love someone. The central hook repeats a blunt reality check: "la vida es una rueda que te da mil vueltas, al final nada queda" (life is a wheel that spins a thousand times, in the end nothing is left). The guys remind us that nobody takes their possessions to the grave ("no he visto la primera historia de que alguien se muere y algo se lleva" [I haven't seen the first story of someone dying and taking something with them]), so holding onto love right now is the only thing that actually matters.

Along the way, the lyrics offer great Spanish idioms about living within your means and falling head over heels. Miky Woodz drops the classic Puerto Rican expression "nos arropamo' hasta donde nos llegue la frisa" (we cover ourselves as far as the blanket reaches), meaning you make do with what you have instead of pretending to be rich. Later, the lyrics use the Colombian slang "traga'o de ti estoy" (I am completely infatuated with you), coming from the word tragado (literally "swallowed"), which describes being crazy in love. It is a sweet, down-to-earth track all about dancing all night and waking up together before time runs out.
