As a DJ, I have come across numerous songs throughout my career, but there are some that have a special place in my heart. One such song is “Cúrame” by Rauw Alejandro. I remember stumbling upon this song at a friend’s house, and from the moment I heard it, I was captivated by its infectious rhythm and catchy lyrics. But as I delved deeper into the meaning behind the song, I realized that there was so much more to it than just a catchy tune.

The Lyrics

[Coro] Hace unos días me caí del cielo
Tú no ere’ ella pero te deseo
Quédate cerca de mí, ven, cúrame esta noche
Y aunque sea mentira, quiéreme esta noche [Post-Coro] Tres cachá’, marihua, no se tose
Guayando se le sube el escote
Ea, what the fuck? Cómo se me agacha
A mi ex la tengo tachá’ [Verso 1] En cantidade’ llegan las botellas
El VIP brilla má’ que una estrella
Me gusta esta pero también aquella
Juro que esta noche me desquito de ella
Y ahora soy un pobre diablo
No tengo de tu amor, pero culo’ tengo vario’
Droga’ y alcohol es necesario
Solo juego solitario
Tu nombre borra’o de mi diario
Tú no ere’ ella, pero bellaco me tiene’ hace rato
Viniste programada en mi formato
Se arrebató, me suelta to’ y yo ni trato [Coro] Hace unos días me caí del cielo
Tú no ere’ ella, pero te deseo
Quédate cerca de mí, ven, cúrame esta noche
Y aunque sea mentira, quiéreme esta noche [Post-Coro] Tres cachá’, marihua, no se tose
Guayando se le sube el escote
Ea, what the fuck? Cómo se me agacha
Y mi ex la tengo tachá’ (¡Yah!) [Verso 2] Son las 12 y en el agua siguen los bote’ (Wuh)
‘Tás prendía’ en fuego, quiere’ que me sofoque (Wih)
Si te corre, hacemo’ infinita la noche (Ah)
Baila, baila, bailando la hebilla cómo me la guaya (Wuh)
Me toca, le encanta pasarse de la raya
Sin ropa, se nota que le gusta la playa
El abdomen y su booty están on fire
En el aire hay humo y no es del incienso
La bellaquera sigue en ascenso
Nadie nos ve y el momento está intenso (Oh)
Dime si piensa’ lo que yo pienso [Outro] Rauw
Ra-Rauw
Kenobi
Handsome
Ey
Woh, oh, ey
Yeah, baby
