KESI Lyrics in English by Camilo

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song KESI by Camilo from Spanish to English.
Chorus 1
If you tell me right now that you want me by your side
How lovely it'd be
If you with that little mouth already have me mesmerized
I'd kiss you
But you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Verse 1
People tell me that it's already obvious that it's showing on me
That I'm more intense than a kid with a ball
When you dance I light up automatically
I start thinking of you romantically
Like an astronaut, a lunatic, a fanatic
You and I know that without filters you're more beautiful
I like that you never photoshop yourself
Tell me what we do then
If you move your clothes to my closet
You tell me because I don't know
The only thing I know is that
Chorus 2
If you tell me right now that you want me by your side
How lovely it'd be
If you with that little mouth already have me mesmerized
I'd kiss you
But you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Verse 2
I want you just like that, real natural flow
I love you just like that, very natural style
I want you just like that, real natural flow
I want you just like that, real natural flow
I want you just like that, natural flow
Chorus 3
If you tell me right now that you want me by your side
How lovely it'd be
If you with that little mouth already have me mesmerized
I'd kiss you
But you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
Oh, you don't tell me yes, yes, yes, yes
You don't tell me yes, tell me, tell me yes
Tell me, tell me, tell me yes

photoshopeas — you photoshop (edit digitally)

Photoshopeas is the informal present-tense form of the Spanglish verb photoshopear, meaning “to Photoshop” or digitally retouch a picture.

Camilo sings, "Me gusta que tú nunca te photoshopeas" (I like that you never photoshop yourself), praising natural beauty in an age of filters and edits. The mix of English tech jargon with Spanish grammar makes this verb eye-catching, modern, and memorable—perfect bait for learners to dive into the song and discover how Spanish absorbs new words.

Ever been completely obsessed with someone who leaves you hanging? That is the exact spot Colombian singer Camilo finds himself in with "KESI" (a playful spelling of que sí, meaning "say yes"). He is down bad, and everyone around him knows it: "La gente me dice que ya es muy obvio que ya se me nota / Que estoy más intenso que un niño con una pelota" ("People tell me it's obvious, you can already tell / That I'm more hyper than a kid with a ball"). The word embobado in "ya me tienes embobado" translates to being totally dazed or spellbound by her smile, turned into a goofy romantic "como un astronauta, lunático" ("like an astronaut, a lunatic").

What makes his crush so refreshing is that he loves her real self. In a world full of Instagram edits, Camilo tells her "sin filtro eres más bella / Me gusta que tú nunca te photoshopeas" ("you are prettier without a filter / I like that you never Photoshop yourself"). He praises her "flow bien natural" ("very natural vibe") and wants her to move into his closet right away. Still, after laying all his cards on the table, he hits the same frustrating wall every single chorus: "Ay, tú no me dices que sí" ("Oh, you just won't say yes to me"). It is a bright, cheeky anthem about being head over heels while desperately waiting for a green light.
