I'm a good shot

Whoever betrays never warns

Your Bugatti watch on the shelf

It's Monday, but it feels like Sunday

Like this, wrapped in your shirt

2000 miles away, but in no rush

I haven't left and I already feel the breeze

With you, I'm always dancing

Alone at the edge of the ledge

'Cause kissing you is like shooting blind in Russian roulette

Why run? I've tried it more than once

And the heart refuses

And though it's not the last time, babe

I don't wanna go back and I can't help it

'Cause kissing you is like shooting blind in Russian roulette

And I'm not afraid of the fall, babe, I'm a good shot

We met in LA at midnight

To fog up your car windows

I'm wearing the Saint Laurent dress you like

For you to unbutton it

And just for the sport of dodging paparazzi

You and I made a sport of it

On the 101, going aimless and without a passport

And nothing else matters, even if I can't breathe

'Cause kissing you is like shooting blind in Russian roulette

Why run? I've tried it more than once

And the heart refuses

And though it's not the last time, babe

I don't wanna go back and I can't help it

'Cause kissing you is like shooting blind in Russian roulette

And I'm not afraid of the fall, babe, I'm a good shot

Why live in black and white?

I prefer to stop time

With just an 'I love you'

I wanna see you again to touch the sky

Get lost in LA again to not come back

With you as if the world was gonna end

As if it was gonna end

'Cause kissing you is like shooting blind in Russian roulette

Why run? I've tried it more than once

And the heart refuses

And though it's not the last time, babe

I don't wanna go back and I can't help it

'Cause kissing you is like shooting blind in Russian roulette

And I'm not afraid of the fall, babe, I'm a good shot

ruleta rusa — Russian roulette

Ruleta rusa literally translates to "Russian roulette". It's a powerful and instantly recognizable phrase that serves as the title and central metaphor of the song.

In the lyrics, Kenia Os uses it to describe the dangerous and unpredictable nature of her passionate relationship: "Porque besarte es como disparar a ciegas en la ruleta rusa" (Because kissing you is like shooting blindly in Russian roulette). This phrase perfectly captures the thrill, risk, and high stakes of her love, making it incredibly enticing and memorable.

Mexican pop artist Kenia Os is playing a dangerous game of love in "Ruleta Rusa", and she knows the odds are stacked against her. The track title literally means Russian roulette, setting up the central hook: "besarte es como disparar a ciegas en la ruleta rusa" ("kissing you is like shooting blind in Russian roulette"). She paints this romance as reckless and addicted to thrills, slipping into his oversized shirt on a lazy morning with his fancy Bugatti watch sitting nearby on the shelf ("Tu reloj Bugatti en la repisa"). Even when she tells herself she wants out, her instinct betrays her: "¿Pa' qué correr? Si lo he intentado más de una vez / Y el corazón se rehúsa" ("Why run? If I've tried more than once / And my heart refuses"). She knows walking away is the smart move, but staying is far too exciting.

The adventure ramps up with midnight rendezvouses in Los Angeles. Kenia throws on her high-end Saint Laurent dress just to let him undo it ("Llevo el vestido Saint Laurent que a ti te gusta / Pa' que lo desabroches"), speeding down California's famous Highway 101 without a map or a care ("Por la 101 vamos sin rumbo"). Escaping local paparazzi turns into an adrenaline sport for the pair, and despite dancing alone on the edge of a metaphorical cliff ("al borde de la cornisa"), she is totally fearless. Her repeated brag "tengo buena puntería" ("I have good aim") suggests that no matter how risky this spinning chamber of a relationship gets, she trusts her shot.
