Acorralar literally means "to corner" or "to round up," often used in the context of hunting or trapping.
In this song, Juan Luis Guerra uses it metaphorically in the line "No necesito millones / Ni acorralar los corazones" (I don't need millions / Nor to corner hearts). He's expressing that he doesn't need to manipulate or trap people's affections, highlighting a pure and genuine love. This unique usage makes the word stand out and adds a poetic depth to his message.
