Jaleo Lyrics in English Ricky Martin

Jaleo translates to something like “wild commotion,” and Ricky Martin turns that word into a musical invitation to pure, uninhibited fun. He sings as a world-traveled flirt who has “lived a thousand and one lives” and “stolen many hearts,” yet the instant he locks eyes with this dancer, the adventure resets. Each passionate cry of “¡Atrapado, moribundo!” shows how completely he is trapped by desire, while the chant “Dame jaleo, ole ole oleola” playfully demands, “Give me more fire, give me more you!”

Beneath a glowing full moon, the track becomes a steamy dance-floor pledge. Ricky urges his partner to drop every inhibition, move with the rhythm, and let the night crown their chemistry. Promising “hoy serás mía” (tonight you will be mine), he celebrates surrendering to passion and letting music guide the heart. Jaleo is ultimately a love letter to the electric chaos of Latin dance—where beats, bodies, and bold emotions fuse into one unforgettable night.
