CRISIS Lyrics in English by Becky G, Tito Double P
Cursi is a fantastic Spanish word that means 'cheesy', 'corny', or overly sentimental. It's the perfect word to describe something that is so romantic or emotional it might make you cringe a little.
In the song, Becky G sings, "perdona si me pongo cursi" (forgive me if I get cheesy). She's apologizing for sounding so emotional, but her feelings of missing someone are so strong that she just can't help it.
We have all made that strict promise to cut off an ex, only to fold the second the phone rings. In "CRISIS", Becky G and Tito Double P call out that exact bluff. Even though the other person swore never to reach out again with "quedaste en ya no volver a hablarme" ("you agreed to never talk to me again"), both sides know the truth. Alcohol does not wash away the memory ("no se ha borrado ni con los tragos"), nobody else has filled that empty spot, and pretending to move on is useless when "todos saben que aún me quieres" ("everyone knows you still love me").
What makes this track so fun is how brutally honest and dramatic it gets. Becky blends English slang directly into the Spanish lines, saying she will make it "easy" before immediately spiraling into full-blown panic: "Me pongo crazy y entro en crisis" ("I go crazy and enter a crisis"). She admits she gets cursi (overly cheesy or sappy) and confesses that the tears start falling on their own ("se me sale solito el llanto"). It is not subtle, it is definitely a bit desperate, and it completely nails that midnight urge to drop your pride just to say "bebé, yo sólo quiero verte" ("baby, I just want to see you").
