SUBIENDO Lyrics in English by Becky G, Dalex
Condena literally translates to "condemnation" or "sentence," often used in a legal context. It's a strong and dramatic word that stands out in a romantic song.
In this song, Becky G uses it in a playful yet intense way: "Y si tu cuerpo es mi religión, yo soy tu condena." This line suggests a deep, almost fated connection, implying that if her lover's body is her religion, then she is their inescapable destiny or even their delightful downfall. It adds a layer of passionate intensity to the lyrics.
"SUBIENDO" is Becky G and Dalex trading a single idea back and forth for three minutes: a room, the lights going out, and a high that keeps climbing. She opens with "Mi cuerpo es tu religión" [My body is your religion], and the song never really leaves that room, moving from candles to a bedroom scene with almost no plot beyond wanting someone closer.
Dalex answers her with "Adictiva como sativa, puesta pa' darte la bienvenida" [Addictive like sativa, ready to give you the welcome], swapping her religious language for a drug one, and by the bridge the metaphor flips back on him: "Y si tu cuerpo es mi religión, yo soy tu condena" [And if your body is my religion, I'm your punishment]. The hook repeats "Me dice que apague las luces" [She tells me to turn off the lights] three separate times, which is the whole trick of the song: it doesn't build to anything, it just stays in the dark and lets the beat carry the tension.
