Arrancando comes from the verb arrancar, which means "to tear out," "to pull out," or "to rip off." It's a strong, vivid verb that conveys a sense of forceful removal.
In "Mi Mirada," the lyrics use this word dramatically: "Empezaría arrancando el corazón mi amor" (I would start by tearing out your heart, my love). While it sounds intense, it's a common hyperbolic expression in romantic Latin music to convey overwhelming passion or a willingness to do anything for love, even if it's a bit extreme or playful. It's a memorable word because of its intensity and how it's used to express deep emotion.
Have you ever been so into someone that you just can't stop thinking about them? That's exactly the vibe La Fiera De Ojinaga is giving us in "Mi Mirada"! He's literally thinking how he's going to be today and biting his lips just thinking about kissing this person. It's that intense anticipation when you're about to see someone you're crazy about.
He's got big plans for this night, too! He declares, "esta noche todos te quitaré, empezaría arrancando el corazón mi amor" [tonight I'll take everything from you, I'd start by tearing out your heart, my love]. Whoa, a bit dramatic, right? But he follows it up with a softer, almost poetic line: "lo único que quedaría puesto en ti si mi mirada, pensando, te la quita" [the only thing that would remain on you if my gaze, thinking, takes it off]. It's like he wants to consume every part of this person, but in the end, it's his intense gaze, his thoughts, that are the most powerful and intimate connection he can offer.
