Bebe Dame Lyrics in English by Luck Ra, La K'onga
Tiro comes from the verb tirar, which literally means 'to throw'. However, in this song, it's used as popular slang in Argentina, where the artist is from.
In the line "lo que te tiro, ven dame", it doesn't refer to a physical object. It's a flirty way of saying "the move I'm making" or "the hint I'm dropping". It's similar to the English phrase "to shoot your shot", making it a fantastic example of slang in action!
If you have ever been stuck obsessing over an ex while wanting them right back in your bed, this track is your anthem. Argentine singer Luck Ra teams up with cuarteto stars La K'onga to turn romantic chaos into an upbeat party. Right away, he admits that things are a mess with "Lo nuestro es una guerra en el amor" ("What we have is a war in love"), but peace talks are not his priority. He just misses the romance and the physical heat. He is downright blunt about his appetite, singing "Quiero comerte yo todos los días" ("I want to eat you every single day"), which pairs a cheeky romantic craving with pure nostalgia for the sweet talk that reeled him in: "Me enamorabas con lo que decías" ("You made me fall in love with what you said").
The chorus hits with urgent, impatient demands. When he chants "Bebé, lo que te pido, ven dame" ("Baby, what I ask of you, come give me"), he is begging his lover not to let another sunrise pass without waking up together ("no te vea al amanecer"). Notice the quick line "Bebé, lo que te tiro, ven dame" earlier in the track; in Argentine slang, tirar literally means "to throw," but here it works like throwing out a flirtatious hint, an offer, or dropping a line to see if they bite. He repeats "vente, vente, vente" ("come over, come over, come over") like a desperate spell, swearing that "Yo lo hago diferente" ("I do it differently"). It is messy, demanding, and completely addicted to the rush of a toxic flame.
