Life that has come to fill my soul with color
Today I sail upon your freckles and your crimson lips
How the heat of your skin cooks on my skin
The tale turns into fantasy, my love
that my sun draws
How your voice came and told me that love is you
Cigüita taking flight
How your smell came, to fill me with immense gratitude
You take me to your love nest
How your skin came, to draw affection and love
You got here just in time
How your smell came and told me that love is you
Rain that has come down from the mountain
My caresses, your caresses that weave into each other
How the color of your skin contrasts with my skin
The tale turns into fantasy, my love
that my sun draws
How your voice came and told me that love is you
Cigüita taking flight
How your smell came, to fill me with immense gratitude
You take me to your love nest
How your skin came, to draw affection and love
You got here just in time
How your smell came and told me that love is you
Life that has come to fill my soul with color
Today I sail upon your freckles and your crimson lips

SONG MEANING

“Carmesí” is Vicente García’s vibrant love letter to that magical moment when someone special bursts into your life like a splash of bold color. The Dominican singer wraps the listener in lush, sensory imagery—crimson lips, warm skin, the scent of a lover, mountain rain—and shows how every sight, touch, and smell turns into living proof that amor has arrived. By comparing his beloved to a soaring cigüita (a small songbird) and a life-giving rain, García highlights how love can feel both tender and exhilarating, grounding and uplifting all at once.

At its heart, the song celebrates gratitude. Each chorus repeats the idea that the beloved’s voice, scent, and presence are gentle reminders that “the love is you.” The playful blend of Caribbean nature references, soft percussion, and soulful vocals creates a dreamy setting where fantasy meets reality, making the listener believe that love can truly paint the world in shades of carmesí—deep red passion mixed with warm, golden sunlight.
