Submarino translates to "submarine". It's an unexpected and intriguing word to find in a love song, making it stand out.
In the lyrics, the singer declares, "Con toda la fuerza de un submarino / A conquistar esa dama que tanto juega conmigo" (With all the strength of a submarine / To conquer that lady who plays with me so much). This powerful metaphor conveys a deep, determined, and perhaps even stealthy approach to winning over the object of his affection, highlighting his unwavering resolve.
La Pócima Norteña brings us a song that's all about a love that completely changes everything! Our singer starts by dreaming of flying high and seeing the stars over the sea with someone special. He wants to find a new path, put on his best clothes, and just walk with this person.
He's ready to shout to the world that they're not "just friends" anymore, and he's telling sadness to get out of his way. Why? Because he's coming in "con toda la fuerza de un submarino" [with all the strength of a submarine] to win over the woman who's been playing with him! He admits he was once lost, "solo y sin amigos, voy Dando tantas vueltas sin ningún sentido" [alone and without friends, going in circles without any meaning]. But then, she came along and changed his destiny, giving him more life than wine and strength on cold days. He even misses her "sin ningún motivo" [without any reason]! It's a really sweet and determined declaration of love.
