What is the meaning of Envolver Lyrics from Versions of Me?
The vocalist describes a night of dancing and passion. She sings about ‘popping bottles and blowing smoke’ to set a hazy mood. The lyrics include the line, ‘I’ve wanted to devour you for a while.’
Dime cómo hacemosTell me, how are we going to do this?
Si tú me deseas y yo a ti tambiénIf you desire me, and I desire you too.
Hace rato te quiero comerI’ve wanted to devour you for a while.
Di ¿qué vas a hacer?Tell me, what are you going to do?
Así que ponme un dembow que ese no respetaSo play me a dembow beat that shows no respect,
Tengo pa’ ti la combi completa queI’ve got the complete package for you,
No duro mucho soltera, aprovéchameand I won’t stay single for long, so take advantage of me.
Y no te vaya’ a envolverAnd don’t go catching feelings.
Sé que lo hacemo’ y tú vas a volverI know we’ll do it, and you’re going to come back.
Un perreito en la paredA little dirty dancing against the wall.
Yo soy un caso que hay que resolverI’m a mystery that needs to be solved.
Pero no te vaya’ a envolverBut don’t go catching feelings.
Sé que lo hacemo’ y tú vas a volverI know we’ll do it, and you’re going to come back.
Un perreito pa’ bellaquearA little dirty dancing to get us going,
Pegaito a la paredpressed right up against the wall.
Botelleo y fumeteoPopping bottles and blowing smoke,
Contigo en un capsuleocruising in a haze with you.
Porque siempre que te veoBecause whenever I see you,
Tú me quieres perrearyou want to dance close with me.
Y yo quiero partirteAnd I want to break you down.
Cógelo a chisteYou can take it as a joke,
Y en cinco minutos ya vas a venirtebut in five minutes you’ll be losing control.
Me tienes como pa’ derretirteYou’ve got me ready to melt you down.
Solo Dios sabe lo que me hicisteOnly God knows what you’ve done to me.
