Despierta Bien Lyrics in English by J Alvarez
Traviesa translates to "mischievous" or "naughty." It's a playful and engaging word that adds a flirtatious tone to the lyrics.
In the song, the line "Que cuando me ves, te pones traviesa" (That when you see me, you get mischievous) suggests a playful and alluring interaction. It implies a sense of fun and a hint of naughtiness, making it an enticing word for a learner.
J Alvarez opens hungover and unbothered. "Hoy me levanté" ["I woke up today"], "Con ganas de beberme otra botella" ["Wanting to drink another bottle"], "En nombre de ella" ["In her name"]: he wakes up reaching for another bottle before he's even out of bed, toasting a woman who isn't around to see it. The hook just keeps ordering more: "Quiero otra copa" ["I want another drink"], "Otra, otra, otra (este party lo manda usted)" ["Another, another, another, you run this party"]. The song runs on repetition, not restraint.
The verses spend their time talking someone else into the same night he's already living. "Tírate a la piscina, que no hay reparos" ["Jump in the pool, no reservations"]. "Invita a tus amiguitas que aquí esta todo pago" ["Invite your friends, everything's paid for here"]. By the bridge it drops the storyline completely and just shouts out the room: "Que viva Puerto Rico" ["Long live Puerto Rico"], "Que viva Colombia" ["Long live Colombia"]. It ends up less a song about one woman than an excuse to keep the bottle moving.
