Conquista (Masters En Parranda) Lyrics in English Carlos Vives , Jerau, Nacho

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Conquista (Masters En Parranda) by Carlos Vives from Spanish to English.
(Carlos Vives)
I keep waiting for the moment
I keep searching little by little
The way to win her heart
It's no invention
I have become an expert
At concealing my agitation
(Nacho)
Today I'm ready to conquer
That girl that I saw
One day when I was jogging
On the little beach I was singing
We locked eyes
We said zero words
Until I ran into a friend
She said that she'd introduce us
Lai-ra-ira, lai-ra
Wue
When I saw you I thought about stopping you and asking for your number
But when I had you in front of me I don't know what it was that happened to me
My voice didn't come out, my body froze
My hands were trembling, you could see the sweat
From the front, from the back
My mind and my eyes on your skirt
Coming on to me full force
And I woof woof woof stayed glued
You were so sweet and bitter
There's no other like you that's worth it
Dog on the conquest, on the charge
The conquest is now
I invited her to Manzanillo
And she'd say 'No darling'
I invited her to party
She told me 'I don't know how to dance'
It was torment the whole time
But it ended up with me
That myth that so many others
Couldn't make come true
When we met I was indeed your friend
I wanted to be your lover
To lose myself with you
I want to be by your side all my life
Making you mine
You ask, I follow
Today I'm ready to conquer
That girl that I saw
One day when I was jogging
On the little beach I was singing
We locked eyes
We said zero words
Until I ran into a friend
She said that she'd introduce us
Lai-ra-ira, lai-ra
Wue
To conquer her was my dream
And at night my sleeplessness
Of love
Today I'm ready to conquer
That girl that I saw
One day when I was jogging
On the little beach I was singing
We locked eyes
We said zero words
Until I ran into a friend
She said that she'd introduce us
Lai-ra-ira, lai-ra
Wue
Lai-ra-ira, lai-ra
Wue
Carlos Vives, boss (lai-ra-ira, lai-ra)
Jerau
Nacho
Colombia, Venezuela
The Creature, babe
Gaira
Local music, dad

SONG MEANING

Conquista (Masters En Parranda) is a sunny, beach-side love chase wrapped in the irresistible rhythms of Colombia and Venezuela. Carlos Vives, Jerau, and Nacho paint the scene: a jog on the shore, a fleeting look, and a heart that suddenly starts racing. Our narrators feel clumsy, sweaty, even speechless, yet they refuse to give up. Every "no" the girl throws back only fuels their determination, turning the song into an anthem of playful persistence. The lyrics capture that universal moment when you spot someone special, become tongue-tied, then rally your courage with a little help from friends and a lot of musical swagger.

Under the lively tropical beats, the message is simple and sweet: true attraction may shake your nerves, but confidence, charm, and a good party invitation can still win the day. By the final chorus, the once-distant crush is no longer a myth; the guys have conquered their fears and, hopefully, her heart. With its catchy "lai-ra-ira" hook and shoutouts to Cartagena’s coast, the track celebrates romance, coastal culture, and the fun of never backing down when love is on the line.
