LA NENA Lyrics in English by Rauw Alejandro, Lyanno

Esposas is a fantastic example of a Spanish word with a clever double meaning. It translates to both "wives" and "handcuffs", and the correct meaning depends entirely on the context.

In the line "Sin la boda, las esposas voy a ponerte" (Without the wedding, I'm going to put the handcuffs/wives on you), Rauw Alejandro makes a spicy and playful pun. He's twisting the idea of marital commitment into a moment of passion, which is a perfect example of the clever wordplay you can find in modern Spanish music.

"LA NENA" reunites Puerto Rican artists Rauw Alejandro and Lyanno for an unfiltered, late-night reggaetón track that is all about instant attraction and zero hesitation. The song starts with a spark: "Tú me tiraste y me activé" ("You texted me and I got fired up"). From there, the whole scene plays out in a club or a house party, pressed tight against the wall. The chorus spells it out plainly: "Hicimos el amor, pero sin quitarnos la ropa" ("We made love, but without taking off our clothes"). It is sweaty, direct, and completely caught up in the heat of the moment.

Along the way, Rauw and Lyanno toss in plenty of Puerto Rican street slang worth learning. When Rauw sings "Yo frontearía, mami, en to' lado" ("I would flex, babe, everywhere"), he uses frontear—meaning to show off or act cocky because the woman by his side is turning everyone's head. Later, Lyanno warns, "Tú me cucaste y me vas a encontrar" ("You provoked me and you're going to find out"), where cucar means to tease or egg someone on until they react. From playful lines about skipping a wedding to skip straight to handcuffs ("las esposas voy a ponerte") to a reckless trip into the dark, the track never pretends to be romantic. It is sheer adrenaline and physical chemistry, and neither of them wants to back down.
