Se Cotiza Bien Lyrics in English by Fidel Rueda
Cotiza comes from the verb cotizar, which means 'to quote a price' or 'to be valued'. It's often used in financial contexts, but here it takes on a more intriguing meaning.
In the song, the lyric "la muchacha se cotiza" implies that the girl 'knows her worth' or 'sets her own price'. It suggests she is highly valued and perhaps even a bit exclusive, making her an enticing figure in the narrative.
Fidel Rueda's "Se Cotiza Bien" is a fascinating look at a relationship with a woman who definitely knows her worth. The singer describes her as incredibly beautiful, "más bonita que la luna" [more beautiful than the moon], from head to toe. But he also hints at her strong will and perhaps a bit of a temper, saying she makes things happen "a su modo" [her way] and doesn't care what people say. He even mentions her getting angry and throwing her phone, "cuando estrella contra el piso" [when she smashes it against the floor]!
What's really interesting is the dynamic of their connection. He admits she "cobra por sus besos" [charges for her kisses], suggesting she's a professional. However, with him, it was different: "conmigo hizo el amor no solo el sexo" [with me she made love, not just sex]. He cherishes the nights they spent together, but there's a bittersweet edge because he knows their time is limited. He says she sells her affection "a muy buen precio" [at a very good price], and he still misses her, confessing, "yo soy quien todavía... no cumplió mis fantasías" [I am the one who still... didn't fulfill my fantasies]. It's a song about a beautiful, independent woman and the lingering feelings of a man who experienced something deeper with her, even if it was fleeting.
