Ven Devórame Otra Vez Lyrics in English by Lalo Rodriguez
Devórame is a command form of the verb devorar, which literally means "to devour". It's a dramatic and passionate word that sets an intense tone right from the song's title.
In this iconic salsa hit, the singer uses devórame as a powerful metaphor for all-consuming desire. He is pleading for his lover to return and overwhelm him with a passion that is as intense and urgent as a ravenous hunger, making it a truly memorable and fiery expression of longing.
This salsa classic from Puerto Rican singer Lalo Rodriguez is one of the most direct and passionate songs you'll ever hear. The singer is missing a former lover so intensely that he can't be with anyone else. He admits he's tried to move on with other women, but it's no use. He even accidentally calls out his ex's name in bed, explaining, "Porque en todas busco lo salvaje de tu sexo amor" (Because in all of them I look for the wildness of your lovemaking).
He's not just sad; he's desperate. He dreams of her, waking up to find he has "mojado mis sabanas blancas recordándote" (wet my white sheets remembering you). The song's whole point is a powerful, repeated demand: "Ven devórame otra vez" (Come devour me again). He begs her to return and "castígame con tus deseos más" (punish me with your desires), insisting he's saved all his energy just for her. It's a song about pure physical longing and the memory of a connection so strong that nothing else can compare.
