Verse 1

I know that we barely met, love

But I want to be with you tonight

I know that now I'm not in my six senses

Or: I know that right now I'm not in my right mind

You took one from me and that was the feeling

I know that we barely met, love

But I want to be with you tonight

I know that now I'm not in my six senses

Or: I know that right now I'm not in my right mind

You took one from me and that was the feeling

I'll ask you a question and make your decision

Let's go cruising to see where we end up

I see the way you look at me and I know I'm not the only one

Who also wants this

Don't play hard to get, my girl, because after tonight

You're going to look for me, I assure you

Verse 2

Sorry I don't remember what happened

That wasn't me who made you fall in love last night

Well, it was me, but I was under the influence of alcohol

Do me a favor, hold on, let me explain

You didn't care about important rules

There's no way to continue, accept it

Keep the hope, you know that there's no reason

Your aching heart can't stand this

I know that you'd like to be mine

But at the end of the day, I don't stay with anyone

Why lie?

rogar — to beg / to plead

Rogar literally means "to beg" or "to plead". It's a powerful verb that implies a sense of desperation.

However, in this song, it's used in the common idiomatic phrase "No te hagas de rogar", which translates to "Don't play hard to get". The singer uses this line to playfully tell his love interest to stop being coy because he knows the feeling is mutual. It's a fantastic phrase to learn to make your Spanish sound more natural and fluent!

This song tells a classic story of a one-night stand, but with a twist. The singer starts off super confident, trying to convince someone they've just met to spend the night with them. They lay it on thick, saying things like, "Yo sé que apenas nos conocimos amor / Pero yo quiero estar esta noche contigo" (I know we just met, my love / But I want to be with you tonight). They even promise the other person will be obsessed after their night together: "después de esta noche / Vas a buscarme, te lo aseguro" (after tonight / You're going to look for me, I assure you).

Then, the song completely flips. The next morning, the singer's charm is gone. They pretend not to remember what happened, blaming it on alcohol: "Perdona no recuerdo lo que sucedió / Ese no fui yo el que anoche te enamoró" (Sorry, I don't remember what happened / That wasn't me who made you fall in love last night). The ending is brutally honest. The singer admits this is just who they are, telling the other person they don't commit to anyone. The final line, "¿Pa' qué miento?" (Why would I lie?), is a cold and direct end to the short-lived romance.
