Obsesion Lyrics in English Aventura , Judy Santos
Siquiatra is the Spanish word for "psychiatrist". It’s a very unusual and memorable word to find in a pop song, making it stand out immediately.
In "Obsesión", the narrator is so consumed with his love for a woman that he sings, "Hice cita pa' el siquiatra a ver si me ayudaba" (I made an appointment with the psychiatrist to see if they could help me). This single line uses dark humor to reveal the true depth of his obsession, showing he's aware that his behavior isn't normal and setting the stage for the song's dramatic story.
"Obsesión" whisks you into a late-night whirlwind where bachata guitars sway to the frantic heartbeat of a sleepless admirer. At 5 a.m. he is still replaying the image of a classmate whose current boyfriend, in his eyes, is “no competition.” What begins as a harmless crush snowballs into full-blown fixation: he waits outside her school in a flashy Lexus, sweet-talks a friend for her number, and even books a psychiatrist when the obsession starts costing him friends. Throughout the song a chant-like chorus reminds both him and us that esto no es amor—this is not love but a one-sided illusion that can drive anyone to outrageous lengths.
Aventura’s catchy blend of Dominican bachata and New York urban flair turns this cautionary tale into a dance-floor favorite. Romeo Santos’s pleading vocals and Judy Santos’s delicate responses create a playful back-and-forth, yet the lyrics leave a clear message: passion without boundaries can morph into something unhealthy. So while the rhythm invites you to sway, the story nudges you to ask—are those butterflies in your stomach, or is it just an obsesión?
