Perderme Contigo Lyrics in English by Bacilos
Bandidos translates to "bandits" or "outlaws". It's an intriguing word that evokes a sense of adventure and rebellion, making it stand out from more common vocabulary.
In the song, the lyrics say, "Quiero perderme contigo bailando al fondo de un bar en una vieja ciudad como bandidos" (I want to get lost with you dancing at the back of a bar in an old city like bandits). Here, it's used metaphorically to suggest a playful, carefree, and slightly mischievous escapade with a loved one, adding a romantic and exciting twist to the idea of getting lost together.
Bacilos open on a contradiction: they're stealing your heart, but "No es para encerrarlo / En ninguna jaula" [It's not to lock it away / In any cage]. This isn't about collecting someone as a trophy. It's about wanting to disappear into them completely, chasing the hook "Y si me voy a perder / Quiero perderme contigo" [And if I'm going to get lost / I want to get lost with you] through tequila, salt, and dancing at the back of some old-city bar.
By the bridge the daydream gets a map: Havana, Quito, Bogotá, Paris, Peru, wherever she wants: "Voy a dónde tú quieras si quieres tú" [I'll go wherever you want, if you want me to]. The last verse turns playful. If anyone comes looking for him, he's hiding "En tu vestido" [In your dress].
