Mi KAMA Lyrics in English by Paloma Mami
Reencarna comes from the verb reencarnar, meaning 'to reincarnate' or 'to be reborn in a new body'. It's a striking and almost mystical word that stands out dramatically in a sensual reggaetón track.
In the song, Paloma Mami sings "Si el deseo muere, reencarna" (If desire dies, it reincarnates). It's a clever and poetic way to say that the physical chemistry between them is so powerful that it simply can't be extinguished; it will always come back to life in some new, irresistible form.
Have you ever tried to convince yourself you don't have feelings for a friend, even when the physical attraction is overwhelming? That's exactly what Paloma Mami is singing about in "Mi KAMA". She opens with the hilarious and relatable line, "Baby, yo no / Es mi cama la que ya te extraña" [Baby, it's not me / It's my bed that already misses you]. She's trying to pretend it's not her who wants him, but an inanimate object. It's a classic case of friends with a history who are trying not to cross a line again, because as she says, they stopped hooking up "porque la amistad se daña" [because the friendship would be ruined].
But she's not fooling anyone, least of all herself. The whole song is a battle between her head and her body. While she tries to deny her feelings, her lyrics get more and more direct about what she really wants. She sings, "Amárrame, apriétame, ven y rómpeme" [Tie me up, squeeze me, come and break me], and later admits, "Si el deseo muere, reencarna" [If the desire dies, it's reincarnated]. She knows this feeling isn't going away. It's a song about that intense, unspoken tension when you and a friend both know you want more but are afraid to say it.
