La Cintura [Remix] Lyrics in English by Álvaro Soler, Flo Rida, TINI
Tropiezo comes from the verb tropezar, which means to trip or stumble in a clumsy way.
In this song, Álvaro Soler playfully admits he isn't a naturally gifted dancer, singing, "Tropiezo con la arena" (I trip on the sand). He uses this highly visual word to confess his lack of rhythm, making it a hilarious and relatable moment for anyone who struggles on the dance floor!
Have you ever seen someone so amazing on the dance floor that you just have to dance with them, even if you're a terrible dancer? That's the whole story of this song! Álvaro Soler spots a girl who "shines like the sun" (brilla como el sol) and decides he needs to dance with her. There's just one hilarious problem: he admits his waist needs help, singing, "Porque mi cintura necesita tu ayuda" [Because my waist needs your help]. He's so clumsy that he jokes, "Creo que mi cintura choca con mi cultura" [I think my waist clashes with my culture] and even trips on the sand.
Instead of giving up, he decides to just forget his awkwardness and dance until dawn. Flo Rida and TINI jump in to add to the party vibe. Flo Rida is full of confidence, telling the girl, "I came to dance with ya / Girl, come and dance with me." TINI encourages everyone to join in, singing "Ven, ven, baila conmigo" [Come, come, dance with me]. It’s a super fun song about not letting your clumsy dancing stop you from having a great time.
