Necio Lyrics in English Romeo Santos , Santana

Necio literally means “stubborn” or “fool”, and that word captures the heart-tugging drama of this collaboration between bachata king Romeo Santos (Dominican-American) and guitar legend Carlos Santana. Over sensual rhythms and Santana’s fiery riffs, the singer confesses that a “little devil” on his shoulder pushes him to chase a woman who already belongs to someone else. He knows the romance is irrational, even self-destructive, yet he cannot resist the fruta prohibida (forbidden fruit) that keeps him wide awake at night. The lyrics paint him as a lovesick dreamer sending midnight calls and secret flowers while arguing with “reflections that aren’t there,” fully aware that his desire might drown him.

The song is a passionate tug-of-war between logic and obsession. Romeo’s smooth Spanish vocals plead, “Sencillamente usted… me pone necio” - “Simply you, my love, make me stubborn” - admitting that her mere presence ignites an unstoppable craving. Santana’s electric solos answer those pleas like sparks of uncontrollable emotion, highlighting the clash between disciplined reality and impulsive fantasy. In short, “Necio” is the soundtrack of a hopeless romantic who would rather risk sinking in forbidden love than live without tasting it.
