Prechorus 1

The moon is for us to kiss

Or: The moon is (here/there) so that we kiss

If they knew all the things that we do

In the stars we always get lost

Or: We always get lost among the stars

The planets align every time we see each other

Chorus 1

Take off and come, because I want to see you

I'll make you go flying like a rocket

With you I leave without returning

You became a problem

If we confess, we'll go viral

You're my beach, I'm your sand

Lit: You my beach, I your sand

Verse 1

You send me to another planet when you finish your mission

I don't want anyone to meddle in our relationship

Or: I don't want anyone to get involved in our relationship

Baby, I just crave to be with you, to love each other in some corner

And devour each other without any complication

There's no greater pleasure than touching you

Nobody makes me flow like you

I don't want the moon, or to go to Mars, no

I just want to make you come for me

Chorus 2

Take off and come, because I want to see you

I'll make you go flying like a rocket

With you I leave without returning

You became a problem

If we confess, we'll go viral

You're my beach, I'm your sand

Prechorus 2

The moon is for us to kiss

If they knew all the things that we do

In the stars we always get lost

The planets align every time we see each other

Chorus 3

Take off and come, because I want to see you

I'll make you go flying like a rocket

With you I leave without returning

You became a problem

If we confess, we'll go viral

You're my beach, I'm your sand

SONG MEANING

Cohete propels Shakira and Rauw Alejandro into outer-space romance, using cosmic imagery to describe a love so intense it practically leaves the Earth behind. The moon invites secret kisses, stars become a maze, and every meeting feels like the planets are lining up just for them. Their chemistry is explosive – Shakira promises to blast Rauw off “como un cohete” (like a rocket) while he sends her to “otro planeta” (another planet). All those astral metaphors paint a picture of passion that is both playful and unstoppable.

Beyond the space talk, the song is really about two lovers who want to keep their fiery connection private even though it is hot enough to “go viral.” They ditch any need for fancy destinations (no moon, no Mars) because the real adventure is each other. With a flirty pop-reggaeton beat and lines comparing their bodies to beach and sand, Cohete turns physical attraction into a thrilling voyage where escape is permanent and pleasure is the only navigation system.
