Corazón Lyrics in English Nelly Furtado , Bomba Estéreo

Home / Lyrics Translation / Nelly Furtado / Corazón

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Corazón by Nelly Furtado from Spanish to English.

I bring the bass and the drum

I don't wanna feel under the gun

Ra-ka-ta-ra-ka-ta-rum

You can't blame me like I'm dumb

I already know what I've done

I've already been on the run

I don't wanna be under your dome

I'm here and now, now, right now

We, we lose control

That's how we are

My heart, I can't stop

We, we lose control

That's how we are

My heart, I can't stop

Even when I'm down, I'm up

Don't turn it down, I'm turnin' up

Ra-ka-ta-ra-ka-ta-rum

Don't care when they closin', I'll leave when I'm done

All the girls with the mass and the curve

Give 'em thanks that they don't deserve

Ra-ka-ta-ra-ka-ta-rum

I don't wanna be under your thumb

I'm here and now, now, right now

We, we lose control

That's how we are

My heart, I can't stop

We, we lose control

That's how we are

My heart, I can't stop

I don't look back, what I've got here

Nobody takes it from me, nobody gives it to me, I'm gonna stay

And here I am

I wanna lose control

About what happens in life, about what I bring you

And we start connecting to the heartbeat

I'm here and I'm now

Like a power, power, like a beauty flower

Like a good massage, a wire comes loose on me

This is the hour, what's coming is perfect

It's the present that I saw in the moment

I'm here and now, now, right now

We, we lose control

That's how we are

My heart, I can't stop

We, we lose control

That's how we are

My heart, I can't stop

SONG MEANING

Feel the beat and forget the brakes! In “Corazón,” Canadian-Portuguese star Nelly Furtado teams up with Colombian electro-cumbia crew Bomba Estéreo to create a bilingual celebration of pure, unstoppable energy. The pounding bass, hand-clap drums, and playful ra-ka-ta-rum chant invite you to live aquí y ahora—here and now—while the singers proudly shrug off anyone who tries to dim their spark. The verses flip between English and Spanish, showing that confidence speaks every language.

At its core, the song is a love letter to freedom. “We lose control, that’s how we are,” they confess, letting the heart (corazón) steer the night’s adventure. The lyrics reject outside pressure (“Don’t wanna be under your thumb”), thank the curves and masks that make us unique, and promise never to look back. Whether you are dancing in a crowded club or in your bedroom with headphones, “Corazón” reminds you that the present moment is perfect, your pulse is the guide, and your joy is non-negotiable.
