La Old Skul Lyrics in English by Rauw Alejandro
Desquitar is a powerful verb that means "to get even" or "to make up for something". It's a step beyond simple revenge and can also mean letting off steam or getting back what you've lost.
In "La Old Skul", Rauw Alejandro sings "Puesta pa' la noche, se va a desquitar" (Ready for the night, she's going to get even). This line perfectly captures the song's theme: a woman who is done crying over a man and is now going out to reclaim her confidence and have fun. It's an emotionally charged word that embodies a feeling of empowerment.
This song is a total post-breakup anthem! It's all about a woman who is completely done with being sad. As Rauw says, "Se cansó de llorar" (She got tired of crying) and has sworn that "ningún pendejo la vuelve a lastimar" (no idiot will hurt her again). So what does she do? She calls her friends, gets ready for a night out, and decides she's going to let loose and have fun.
Rauw describes how she's glowing up, deleting old photos, and her DMs are blowing up. She's not looking for anything serious, just a good time. He sees her and offers to be the guy she can call for fun with no strings attached, telling her, "Entiende que yo no soy como él" (Understand that I'm not like him). It's a classic reggaeton story about moving on and feeling yourself after getting your heart broken.
