Matame De A Poquito Lyrics in English Guaynaa , Bronco
Mátame de a poquito literally means "Kill me little by little." This dramatic phrase is the title of the song and its most powerful, memorable line.
It's used as a metaphor for being completely overwhelmed by passion. The singer is so captivated that the feeling is intoxicating, and he asks her to prolong this sweet torment. It's a poetic way to express an intense mix of pleasure and pain in romance, making it a very intriguing phrase to learn.
Picture a warm Latin night with no stars in sight and a shy romantic who suddenly freezes the moment he spots the girl of his dreams. "Mátame De A Poquito" tells that exact story. Our narrator is not a natural dancer, yet the magnetic pull of her cumbia hips makes him beg for just one dance, one night, one kiss. He sees this encounter like a fairy-tale with a quick ending: if she accepts, he is willing to risk it all for a few stolen minutes on the dance floor.
The chorus – “Bésame, mátame de a poquito” – is a playful way of saying: “Kiss me and knock the breath out of me, but do it slowly so I can savor every second.” Being so close to her but still out of reach feels like sweet torture, and his heart beats to a brand-new rhythm as he watches her move. He even prays for a cure to this love-sickness, yet he secretly enjoys the pain. The song mixes Guaynaa’s Puerto Rican swagger with Bronco’s classic cumbia flavor, turning a tale of shy longing into an irresistible dance-floor confession.
