Ever felt like escaping the city for the beach? Los Rumberos totally get it in "Qué Olas Son?" The singer's feet are craving sand, and he's remembering "tus besos de sal" [your salty kisses] under palm trees. He contrasts the city's "sirenas" [sirens] with the peaceful sound of the ocean, lamenting that from a skyscraper, "no se ven estrellas" [you can't see stars]. It's a call to leave the urban grind behind and embrace the simple joys of the coast.
This song is all about seizing the moment with someone special, Lola. The "ola" [wave] has arrived to "pintar nuestra historia con cada puesta de sol" [paint our story with every sunset] and "escaparnos del reloj" [escape the clock]. What kind of waves are they? "Olas de ir a la playa" [Waves to go to the beach], "ola de lanzarse por unas cervezas" [wave to go get some beers], and even "ola de fogata y rolas 90eras" [wave of bonfire and 90s songs]. He promises to sing to her "para sacudir todos tus males" [to shake off all your troubles], because, as he says, "todo lo cura el mar, ya sabes" [the sea cures everything, you know]. A beer, a hammock, some sun-kissed kisses, and morning hugs are all it takes to make her happy. It's a sweet, laid-back invitation to a perfect beach getaway.
