Arropará comes from the verb arropar, which means to wrap up, cover, or tuck in, often with a sense of warmth and comfort, like tucking someone into bed.
In "Poco A Poco," Tommy Torres uses this word to describe the gradual increase of passion and intimacy. He sings, "Poco a poco el calor nos arropará" (Little by little, the warmth will envelop us), suggesting a gentle yet irresistible embrace of heat and desire. It's a beautiful and evocative word that paints a picture of growing closeness.
Tommy Torres and Delic's "Poco a Poco" is a playful and passionate song about the slow burn of seduction. The singer is clearly smitten, asking directly, "¿Hasta cuándo, amor Tu respuesta será no?" [How long, my love, will your answer be no?] He's eager to enjoy her lips, wondering, "¿Cuánto tiempo, dime ya Podré tus labios disfrutar?" [How much longer, tell me now, can I enjoy your lips?]
But despite his eagerness, he wants to take it "Poco a poco" [Little by little], not wanting to rush the exciting feeling of "Las cosquillas en la piel" [the tingles on the skin]. He encourages his love to just let go, promising that "Poco a poco el calor nos arropará" [Little by little the heat will cover us] and their bodies will become one. It's a song about the delicious anticipation and the promise of intense connection, where every breath and heartbeat will be for her.
