Manrique Lyrics in English by Blessd, Maluma
Capricho translates to "whim" or "craving," but in Colombian slang, especially in the context of a song like this, it often refers to something highly desired or a luxury item that one indulges in.
Blessd uses it to describe something he wants or has acquired as a special treat, saying, "Como decimos en el barrio: 'un capricho'" (As we say in the neighborhood: 'a caprice'). This word is interesting because it captures a sense of indulgence and desire, making it memorable and relevant to the song's themes of success and enjoying the finer things in life.
Blessd and Maluma's "Manrique" is a high-energy track that throws you right into the world of a powerful, confident woman and her crew. The song describes a woman who's a "puto revólver" [f***ing revolver], meaning she's tough and doesn't back down. Her friends are all "solder" [soldiers], ready for anything, and they've gone from the neighborhood of Manrique to living it up in Miami.
These ladies are living large, with "Global Entry en la disco" [Global Entry at the club] and drinking for free, looking like they have "tanta conexión parece Illuminati" [so many connections it seems like Illuminati]. The lyrics brag about their hustle, saying they're "más rápida que un Bugatti" [faster than a Bugatti] when it comes to making moves. Blessd is totally captivated by this woman, saying he's "satisfecho" [satisfied] with her and that she's a "capricho" [whim] – a luxurious desire. It's all about living life on your own terms, with style, confidence, and a touch of danger.
